Perpetual campaigner-in-chief Barack Obama made a 10-minute, half-time appearance tonight during the NCAA Tournament. He promoted his “second term” in between small talk about basketball. Sports fans of all political persuasions were not very happy to have politics injected into their sports viewing.

It'd be nice if Obama decided to do something about our economy instead of interviews for the NCAA tournament.—

I'm trying to watch the NCAA male basketball championship not thinking Politics. Then #Obama is on the halftime show.—

Mr. Obama said he doesn't want to be one "of those guys who stays past his welcome," talking about basketball, on NCAA halftime show (1/2)—

Way to go CBS. Let's use halftime of the NCAA national championship to pimp Obama's reelection campaign.—

Obama said "maybe in the second term" when the guy asked him if they could play basketball. A little presumptuous eh?—
