Free Speech is RESPONSIBLE speech;

I've thought about it, and I'd like to return, and hold the author of the Baraketology "publicity move" responsible.

Bracket-ology assigns Scientific Value (with associated virtue,) to the bracket predictions of Analysts.

Barak-et-ology cloaks the bracket predictions of our current POTUS with like gravity.

This is why it appeared to be self-promotion in the eyes of some. To others it was disparaging,

...but not against their preferences. "Bracketology is non-scientific? Barak Obama is superstitious, in the religious, sense, and I do not MIND the assertion that he is unscientific."

An excellent prognosticator who _could_not_be_wrong_ would have difficulty meeting that standard of evaluation. The further POTUS goes without a miss, the farther up he climbs the figurative stairs to Haman's Gallows [Esth 3:4 - Eth 7:10; see also Book of Crib, Reflexive 6:6.] As a human being, he'll eventually make a mistake. I don't mind... the PR gaff is no worse than merely that, either.

I respect him. You may have enjoyed a similar experience to my own. By shared ideology or moral agreement, you've respected both the man AND the office of POTUS simultaneously. If you have not, please see me after class. If you are merely looking for an individual who has not, to contradict my opinion of our current POTUS, I'll enjoy the irony of political endeavor's difficulties, until I lose respect, or you gain the same.
