Despite the fury, Obama with great fanfare filled out his March Madness basketball bracket before flying off to California to parry and jest with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show."
In yukking it up with Leno, Obama said one thing he'll be taking seriously is getting a family dog. After joking that the dog pledge fell into the category of most campaign promises, he quickly added, "No, I'm teasing. The dog will be there shortly."
