The Obama Curse?

This phenomenon has been observed many times (Google "Obama Curse"), but I am starting to believe it.

Obama campaigns for Creigh Deeds in Virginia Governor's race: He lost.
Obama campaigns for Jon Corzine in NJ Governor's race: Another loss.
Obama campaigns for Martha Coakley in Massachusetts Senate race: Epic fail.

Indeed, everyone he campaigns for seems to lose.

Obama lobbies hard for health care: The bill becomes law, but it's constitutionality has been challenged, everyone that applies for a waiver gets one, the law's popularity with the public continues to plummet and it's future is seriously in doubt.

Okay, I know that's all just politics and there may be no correlation whatsoever between Obama and the outcome. So how about sports?

Obama flies overseas just to campaign for the Chicago Olympics: eliminated in the first round of voting.

All his picks in the last two NCAA tournaments: Bye-Bye. In fact, every sports team he picks immediately loses in football, basketball and baseball. (My Celtics desperately need him to heap some praise on the Chicago Bulls.)

Now it appears we're losing in Libya, and even if we win, the "rebels" we saved are al Queda.
