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.” — American Bubba (@American_Bubba) March 9, 2013

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.

Who knew that TelePrompTer Reading was considered a sport? 2016 Olympic Gold to go with Nobel Peace Prize? http://t.co/DxeAhKp1Vu — Rodger with a D (@Noz4news) March 9, 2013

Sports Illustrated names Obama #44 most powerful person in sports. Is his golf game that good? #headdesk — rockmom (@rockmom) March 8, 2013

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! — L. North (@LadyLNorth) March 8, 2013

I love sports & pop culture. I use both as diversion from politics, but that's now futile with Obamas in White House http://t.co/E5RCS9WupY — Brad Carlson (@Brad_Carlson) March 9, 2013

For mom-jean pitching or mom-jean biking? MT @politico: Sports Illustrated names Obama one of the most powerful people in sports — eric (@eriContrarian) March 9, 2013

Maybe for skeet shooting? Obama totally does that all the time!
