Who says civility in politics is dead?
This week, former Democratic President—and noted basketball fan—Barack Obama, posted his NCAA tournament predictions (as he did each year when he was in the White House).
In a tweet, he joked, “Just because I have more time to watch games doesn’t mean my picks will be better.”

In response, former Republican President George H.W. Bush took to twitter, “Respectfully differing” with his own bracket.

Our 44th and 41stpresidents are engaged in a Twitter exchange, and somehow, it’s actually pretty fun.
