Barack Obama’s annual March Madness brackets are here … but people just want him to come back

sudshr47 March 21, 2019

Once again, former president Barack Obama has released his official March Madness brackets for all to see. But the reaction this year has been a little bit different than in years past.

First, though, the picks. Obama has a history of being just okay with his picks — not great, but passable, like most Americans. And this year, once again, there’s nothing particularly controversial about them.

In the Men’s Bracket, his pick of Duke vs. North Carolina, with a Duke championship, probably mirrors a lot of other brackets. There are a few upset picks, particularly of some No. 12 seeds, but even that isn’t that outlandish given how often it occurs. Read more…

Obama’s New Year’s message reminds everyone we’ve got a lot of work to do in 2019

sudshr47 January 1, 2019

Barack Obama doesn’t have to say much to inspire the masses. A simple message like the one the former president tweeted on New Year’s Day often does the trick.

“In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before,” Obama wrote. “Keep it up in 2019. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and I’ll be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!”

The replies are exactly what you’d expect, ranging from “Thank you for keeping your voice out there to give us a little bit of hope” to “It soothes my soul to hear from you, our last sane leader” to “You, sir, are a breath of fresh air.”

In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before. Keep it up in 2019. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and I’ll be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!

Barack Obama spent Wednesday donning a Santa hat and spreading holiday cheer while handing out presents at Washington’s Children’s National hospital.

Footage shared by the hospital on Twitter shows an excited crowd singing carols, cheering for, and taking photos of Obama Claus in the hallway. The former POTUS greets patients with presents, dances into rooms, and even gives out some hugs.

Thank you @BarackObama for making our patients’ day so much brighter. Your surprise warmed our hallways and put smiles on everyone’s faces! Our patients loved your company…and your gifts! https://t.co/bswxSrA4sQ ❤️ #HolidaysAtChildrens #ObamaAndKids pic.twitter.com/qii53UbSRS
