The news that launched a thousand eye rolls (yes, we’re low-balling):
They must have moved April Fools Day! RT “@breitbartnews: Obama Makes Sports Illustrated List of 50 Most Powerful People in … Sports.”

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.

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 shar.es/e1sYR
