[Cha]

[classof56]

12. Absolutely right, Cha. And thanks for the posts--a real day-brightener!

[Cha]

19. Exactly right, classof56.. The President has to do his job and do the repubs job.. they sure ain't

14. No, Jerry Brown is

No shame in being number 2.

[Cha]

18. No, the President is the hardest working man in America.

[BlueCaliDem]

23. Not even close, itsrobert. Jerry Brown is my Governor, and as good as he is, he *does* have a

legislature that actually works with him, rather than a Congress that obstructs everything he does.

With all the crap going on in the world as well as at home, President Obama is the hardest working man in the WORLD. Hands down.

15. So glad you saw these pics from yesterday's championship game tucked down

here in the BOG, brer cat!

a snip from the article//

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - It's not that Princeton coach Courtney Banghart was unimpressed to see President Barack Obama in the stands, just a few rows away.

It's that Banghart was more concerned with making sure her Tigers - including Obama's niece, a freshman forward - would stay unbeaten and win a women's NCAA Tournament game for the first time.

After trailing at halftime with the First Fan in attendance Saturday, eighth-seeded Princeton came back to improve to 31-0, beating No. 9 seed Wisconsin-Green Bay 80-70 behind Michelle Miller's 20 points, Annie Tarakchian's 19, and a 49-22 rebounding edge.

"He was actually sitting right in front of my family, so I'd look back at my family, and I'd be like, 'Oh, my God. It's Barack.' But it certainly wasn't in my focus," Banghart said.

"And that's not belittling his importance. That will go down as a highlight, as well, and I'm hoping there's a picture of me - and he's somewhere in the background," she continued. "Someone got that, right?"

FIRST FAN

First lady Michelle Obama went to Princeton, as did her brother, Craig Robinson, who is Leslie's father and sat next to the President on Saturday. Showing family favoritism, President Obama picked Princeton to make it to the Final Four in his women's NCAA bracket.

13. Just by being there

He brings attention to women's athletics. And Malia is a knockout. It's been amazing to see those girls grow up so nicely.

[Cha]

17. Yes, and what a great way to spend some time on Saturday.. out with some of the Fam to see

your Niece's Team advance by beating Green Bay!

mahalo, mcar

[Major Hogwash]

16. Yeah, well . . .

. . . Boise State University's women's basketball team lost a close one to Tennessee yesterday.
But --- it was the smallest margin Tennessee won the game in the last 24 years!!!!
It was that close!

Go women of BSU!!!



Even though they lost to Tennessee (who doesn't?), they're winners to me for advancing the program and raising the bar for future teams!!
Damn, they are good.

Maybe the President could come back to Boise in the near future and talk a little about the women's basketball team here, instead of just mentioning the blue turf that our football team plays on.
Seriously, BSU is becoming quite the university.

They even have a very good political science department.
But, I wouldn't know anything about that.

Mueha-ha-ha!!!

[Cha]

20. So happy for BSU Women's B-Ball that they were

"That Close" to beating Tennessee, Major!

My daughter played on the Univ of Oregon's Women's B-Ball Team back in the day.. for a short while.. their whole family loves Basketball, Football.. any Sports!

Good on BSU!

[Major Hogwash]

21. Tennessee is a powerhouse, and has been for years.

I was reading some comments on a now defunct forum years ago about how Tennessee dominated women's basketball, and I was really impressed with the program and their coach.
You have to hand it to them, they really made a mark in the world with their strong record.

[Cha]

22. That is impressive.. bet Brigi's(my daughter)impressed too!

[BlueCaliDem]

24. Amazing pictures, Cha! Love all three of them. Even though our president is a decent 6'3", he's

dwarfed by his BiL! The man must be proud of his sister's husband.

And my gawd! President Obama's daughters have become true beauties!

[Cha]

25. That is decent.. 6'3"! They must be so proud of each other.. all their families are so

brilliant!



Little Sasha is catching up to Malia!

26. And tonight we hear that the Ms. Robinson, the President's niece, and

basketball player for Princeton, is receiving threats.

What is wrong with some people?

[Cha]

27. i know I saw that awful thing, NVI.. :( That's what cons do.. hate and threaten good people with

their lives.
