Baller-in-Chief

Promoting his new book on MSNBC this morning, Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said he admires the president but hopes he’ll do more.

“President Obama has a very unique thing for a leader, and that is that he has the ability to inspire,” he said. “I would like to see him inspire even more and not get beaten down by the day-to-day … negativity that’s involved.”
