Obama's full brackets, including who he thinks will win the championships,
will be released on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday.

President Obama <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Barack+Obama> may be
taking a political risk in his quest to fix health care, but he's playing it
safe when it comes to his March Madness picks.

The Hoopster-in-Chief chose Kansas<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kansas>,
Kentucky <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kentucky>, Kansas
State<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Kansas+State+University>and
Villanova <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Villanova+University> to make
the men's Final Four.

It's the second year the President has filled out a bracket for
ESPN<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/ESPN+Inc.>
.

But this was the first time Obama also picked the Final Four in women's
college basketball, choosing
Connecticut<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Connecticut>,
Stanford <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Stanford+University>,
Tennessee<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Tennessee>and Notre
Dame <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/University+of+Notre+Dame>.

His full brackets, including who he thinks will win the championships, will
be released on ESPN's
SportsCenter<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/SportsCenter>on
Wednesday.

SportsCenter will also air an interview with Obama at noon. Last year, Obama
correctly picked the North Carolina Tar
Heels<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/North+Carolina+Tar+Heels>to
win it all.
