SouthernJet Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Obama going with Tar Heels to win it all Associated Press Updated: March 18, 2009, 1:05 PM EST 123 comments BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - Barack Obama picked North Carolina to defeat Louisville for the NCAA championship, a relatively safe selection for a trailblazing president. The president had top-seeded Pittsburgh join the No. 1-seeded Tar Heels and Cardinals in the Final Four, but chose second-seeded Memphis to beat Connecticut in the West Regional.

Perhaps showing some indecision, Obama initially had the Panthers playing Louisville for the national title in the file posted online. Pitt was scratched out of the title game in favor of North Carolina, which in turn replaced Louisville in the "champion" box. "Here's what I like about Carolina: experience and balance," Obama said.
