Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has a message for President Obama: How dare you be a sports fan!
Priebus just posted this on Twitter, linking to a right-wing blog post that attacked Obama for videotaping a brief segment on ESPN:
How can @BarackObama say he is leading when puts his NCAA bracket over the budget & other pressing issues? http://bit.ly/ieSuCI
Maybe Obama would have been better off not talking about sports — that way, conservatives could stick to attacking him as an out-of-touch elitist.
