Hey KNEE JERKERS in the MSM and on the DU here is Coach K's FULL QUOTE

[wndycty]

Sure Coach K supported Elizabeth Dole but some of the vitriol directed towards him today is BULLSHIT, read the full quote.

-snip-
"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four," Krzyzewski said from the Blue Devils' first-round site in Greensboro, N.C. "And as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets."

The coach said, in referring to the president's picks, "Why would I care about that? I love the guy, and I think he's gonna be great."

1. It's all good then 'cause Obama is

focusing more on the Economy than the brackets.

2. But Fox news had it the other way around

3. Come on Coach K: even during the planning for the D-Day invasion, Eisenhower saw to it his staff

got a little recreation each week, like a two-hour movie Saturday night. Brackets or no brackets, this President unquestionably spends several multiples the time his predecessor did in attending to direct matters of state and: direct matters of state do not include partisan campaigning, clearing brush at the ranch, and other vacationing. :P

4. Obama is the people's president....

I'm glad he's interested in the same things I'm interested in. Just another way Pres. Obama is staying in touch with Americans.:patriot:

[onenote]

5. get a grip folks, its all in fun == trash talking

WHile it was a bit balky for me, here is a link to the video of Coach K's comments. Note the wry smile when he makes his comments about the president sticking to the economy. I'm not a Duke fan, but I see this as just friendly trash talk between a coach and the President. No harm, no foul, other than the typical overreaction from the media and from some here at DU.

6. CNN just cut the quote

and claimed Coach K was furious with Obama. Unreal

7. obama CAN chew gum and fix the economy at the same time.

bush couldn't even bounce a freakin' basketball, let alone figure-out the final four brackets.
