No doubt Anthony “Cat” Barber is the key to N.C. State’s run to the Sweet 16. A true point guard, he looks to pass first, but he also penetrates well and takes high-quality shots, opening up the middle for the big guys to clean the glass if he misses.

Yeah, I know if after a big win a college basketball player asked ‘What the *%#* is wrong with George Bush’ we’d hear all sorts of moaning and groaning from conservatives about the player’s thuggish behavior.

Still, I had to laugh when Barber ripped President Obama for picking Villanova to win the NCAA title. And Cat’s walked it back, giving Obama a little loveeee on Twitter.

But hey, a guy can always hope a brother votes Republican, right?
