President Barack Obama’s NCAA picks have been announced. See video, photos and find out more about the Obama bracket for March Madness 2009.

Article continues below.

The College basketball NCAA tournament season is indescribable other than to call it ‘March Madness’ as the name fits. It draws virtually everyone into the science of bracketology (or is it an art?) including the Commander in Chief (where we might be tempted to call it Baracketology). He has submitted his NCAA Picks and Obama’s Bracket is on ESPN for all to see. It fulfills a campaign promise Obama made to ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz in October 2008. He told him that if elected President he would fill out an NCAA tournament bracket.

“President Obama made his picks as a sports fan, not as a politician,” Katz said. “He was knowledgeable about the teams and was even up to date on the latest injuries involving the contenders. He was confident with his picks and delivered an on-camera pep talk for the team he picked to win it all. It was clear that he enjoyed filling out his bracket like the rest of America.”

His final four: Louisville, North Carolina, Memphis and Pittsburgh. And the winner? North Carolina. Both the Obama bracket and the photo above are via WhiteHouse.gov which also notes the selection with a blog entry March Madness at the White House.
