Obama toasts Tar Heels at White House
Posted May 11, 2009
President Barack Obama says his scrimmage with North Carolina's basketball team last year brought good fortune to him and the team. UNC won the national championship. Obama won the White House. Obama said everyone was excited as the champion Tar Heels visited the White House on Monday. The one exception was Obama's personal aide Reggie Love, who won a title as a player for UNC's chief rival, Duke.
