Nope, not April Fools’ Day or The Onion. Sports Illustrated actually declared President Mom Jeans the 44th most powerful person in sports. Sports!
Breitbart.com’s Tony Lee notes:
Just like many of his undeserved accolades–most notably the Nobel Peace Prize–here is another mind-boggling media honor given to Obama by a mainstream press that genuflects more than they hold Obama to account.
Paging Jon Lovitz: Time for another “you didn’t earn that” graphic.
Who knew that TelePrompTer Reading was considered a sport? 2016 Olympic Gold to go with Nobel Peace Prize? http://t.co/DxeAhKp1Vu

Sports Illustrated names Obama #44 most powerful person in sports. Is his golf game that good? #headdesk

Sports Illustrated's logic: Obama is one of 50 most influential people in sports because he made March Madness picks. Hell, then so am I!

I love sports & pop culture. I use both as diversion from politics, but that's now futile with Obamas in White House http://t.co/E5RCS9WupY
