Rush Limbaugh talking about a report by Dan Fogarty at Mediaite that Ubama can multitask. Wonder of wonders! Barack Orambo is simply… well, he’s simply the best. (Cue Tina Turner…)
Hey, remember when everyone said President Obama was wasting his time filling out an NCAA tournament bracket while the world fell apart around him?
In case you need a refresher:
Well, it turns out Obama did find time to do something meaningful in the midst of dithering away with his bracket: he started planning the midnight raid that would kill Osama bin Laden.
On March 15th, ESPN and its camera crew came to the White House to film a segment in which the President revealed his NCAA tournament picks. According to this New York Times report, Obama met with his national security team the day before to discuss the bin Laden mission.On March 14, Mr. Obama held the first of what would be five national security meetings in the course of the next six weeks to go over plans for the operation.
The meetings, attended by only the president’s closest national security aides, took place as other White House officials scrambled to avert a possible government shutdown over the budget.
The most remarkable thing about this, of course, is that Obama’s tournament picks turned out to be creepily accurate: on March 19th, after two full days of tournament action, his bracket was ranked 492nd out of nearly six million on ESPN.com. Eventually, he’d fall back down to earth, but still: he must have been focused that week.
