President Obama last night showed British Prime Minister David Cameron what March Madness in America is all about after he escorted the PM to the NCAA men's basketball tournament in Dayton, Ohio— which is, coincidentally, a key swing state in November's election.
While Cameron didn't look too crazy about the sport, he watched two games which would have left the King speechless.
First, Western Kentucky came back from a 16 point deficit to defeat Mississippi Valley State, 59-58, then BYU came back from 25 down to beat Iona 78-72 in the greatest comeback in tournament history.
Earlier in the day, the two leaders were set up to discuss their respective policies on Afghanistan before embarking on Air Force One to catch the play-in game.
The President did all of the things everybody usually does while relaxing at a basketball game— shake the hands of dozens of fans and kiss a baby. Cameron took off his sweater.
Cameron became the first foreign head of state to fly with the president aboard Air Force One and from the looks of him at the game, it was probably the highlight of his day.
At halftime, Obama joked, "He's going to teach me cricket."
