OBAMA'S "PRIORITIES" - THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL SYSTEM

From Sports Illustrated:

The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review.

In the letter to Sen. Orrin Hatch, obtained by The Associated Press, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich wrote that the Justice Department is reviewing Hatch's request and other materials to determine whether to open an investigation into whether the BCS violates antitrust laws.

"Importantly, and in addition, the administration also is exploring other options that might be available to address concerns with the college football postseason," Weich wrote, including asking the Federal Trade Commission to review the legality of the BCS under consumer protection laws.

This action suggests a mind idled and addled by the failure, and resulting inertia, of his first year in office.

This may turn out to be Obama's Killer Rabbit moment.

Americans are not going to take too kindly to this insane step during the worst recession since the 1930's.
