Nobody enjoys March Madness more than President Obama. Ever since 2008, the President has been publicly filling out his college basketball brackets in front of the whole country. Now, Obama’s hopes of winning are now down the toilet, kind of like our economy.
UConn pulled off a major upset at Madison Square Garden, beating Michigan State 60-54. Now Obama only has one team, Florida, still standing in the final four. UConn, elated by the win, apologized on Twitter to the President for blowing his bracket.
UConn will face the top seed, Florida on April 5, 2014.
Sorry about busting your bracket @BarackObama… We have room on our bandwagon if you're interested

Not only did Obama’s bracket get broken today, thousands of other people suffered bracket busting at its best too. Here are some reactions from Michigan’s loss. And from the looks of these tweets, some of the disgruntled people are targeting their frustrations toward Obama. He’s certainly to blame for other issues, but unless he was actually running around the court in a Huskies uniform, kicking Michigan’s butt, blame your Spartans.
Damn you Obama first you mess up the economy, now my bracket!!!!!! #whatnext 😥
