Tiger Woods joined President Obama for a round of golf in Florida on Sunday. It was the first time the two have played together.
President Barack Obama had some noteworthy company when he hit the links in Florida on Sunday: Tiger Woods.
The White House confirmed that Woods was among the president's foursome for a round of golf at the Floridian Yacht and Golf Club in Palm City, Fla. Rounding out the group were United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk and resort owner Jim Crane.
The president is in the midst of a three-day retreat in the Sunshine State while First Lady Michelle Obama and the couple's children ski in Colorado. An avid golfer, Obama has played more than 100 rounds since entering the Oval Office, a statistic his political rivals have tried to use against him.
It was not until after the round that the White House confirmed news that the president shared the course with one of the sport's biggest and most controversial names. Woods' career took a nosedive after it was revealed he had cheated on his wife with multiple women, but he has since been rehabilitating his image and is currently ranked the No. 2 golfer in the world.
Golf Digest's Tim Rosaforte broke the news of the powerful pairing Sunday morning, tweeting that the president had arrived at the course and was awaiting Woods. It was their first round together, but Obama did host the golfer at the White House in April 2009, seven months before Woods' marital transgressions became public.
Though there has been no official word on how either of the men played, Rosaforte tweeted that Woods sunk a shot from the bunker for birdie on the first hole. Rosaforte also reported on the Golf Channel that Woods was in no way holding back for the commander-in-chief. Instead, the once top golfer in the world was putting on a show, driving the green of a 378-yard par 4.
Obama's golf game should be as good as it has ever been. On Saturday he spent eight hours with Woods' former swing coach Butch Harmon, playing 27 holes and hitting balls in the instructor's golf studio, Golf Digest reported.
Sunday's outing was closed to media, but Harmon recounted to Golf Digest the interaction he witnessed between Woods and Obama. "The president said to Tiger, 'The last tournament you played was fun to watch. It's good to see you play well again.' You could tell he meant it. It just wasn't a throw it out compliment," he told the magazine.
Harmon also said that when it comes to tallying up his scorecard, Obama plays by the rules.
"He counts every shot. He doesn't like gimmes. He putts everything out. He counts all his penalty shots. He thinks about all his shots before he hits them. Some people might say to the President of the United States, 'Oh, just move it.' But that's not him," said Harmon. "He loves the game and loves the game the way it's supposed to be played."

Oh, how nice. This is news,,,,, what a joke.
And remember, we're paying for his pleasure... Enjoy it till you're impeached!!!
How much did this cost the taxpayers ?
ThumperSteve... I know I can't speak for Obama, but what the hay... Suck on my gold member.
Put it front of me, I'll jerk it off for you, literally... Faggot...
lol, Thumper's been waiting to use that one for a while
Doug, DANG SKIPPY!
ThumperSteve, I am truly sorry you are required to work a 7 day workweek and think everyone else should. I don't know what you do for a living but I am glad I don't have your job. BTW are you writing this stuff on company time.
Raw-316448
It'll cost between 1.5M - 4M, depending on his posse and how long he stays...
Karl-917355
I don't recall telling you I am retired, you're an absolute idiot...
Not to include the "costs" for the Mrs. Obama's private escapade in Aspen.
I wonder if she "logged" the children as "Senior White House Staff" again.
Its amazing all the hate that comes out of these post just the President is taking time off, well deserved time off I'd say, it seems that the most negative language comes from those who must not have a life and are just miserable.
Hmmmmm, it would seem Barrack Hussein wouldn’t be rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. His constant demonization of the rich fat cats would seem to disengage the likes of Jim Crane, the owner of the Astros. But then again when he is a big contributor to the Barrack Hussein camp I guess it’s all ok.
I’m surprised he’s golfing with Tiger. Didn’t he move to Florida to avoid paying taxes in California?
Dollars to donuts Barrack Hussein won’t be golfing with Phil Mickelson after his little diatribe about taxes in California being too high.
Only the Liberals/Progressives will deny the hypocrisy here.
@RAW-316448 - regardless of what party is in power...it ALWAYS costs the taxpayer..too bad we are not in the circle but rather outside the circle looking in :)
@di "ldo" The kids are "Junior" White House Staff, idiot!
Glad Mr. President is taking some down time. It's been rough the last couple of weeks dealing with the Boehner @!$%#s. Hope the First Lady is enjoying some slow time too.
For the geniuses here worried that the taxpayer is paying for this downtime (but remember, nuclear codes travel with the President, just like his JOB), I guess all those white republican presidents didn't use AF1, SS, or vacation time at taxpayer expense, right?
Michelle Obama…..24
Laura Bush….24-26
Lady Bird Johnson….30
Betty Ford….30
Jacqueline Kennedy….40
Not much difference from the above 4 white girls....
Pay up and quit bitching!!!!
I'm glad this President is giving you'll heartburn....LOL!!!! Keep listening to those ignorant talking heads, you know, your buddies, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and the other racist @!$%#s, and you'll have ulcers next......LOL!!
Does MSNBC have to have the comment section on a story about the President taking a well deserved couple of days off?
Why not just publish the story and remove the Comment section?
This commentary section was mostly absent during the Bush and Clinton eras...Why always about this President?
Bad taste MSNBC, for baiting Faux News tin-foil-wearing numbskulls to go all out on the President and his family! You folks must probably have Faux News moles amongst you that keep looking for below-the-belly cheap shots on the President.
I am not a big fan of some of his policies, but ya gotta respect the President of the United States, and especially his family
Shame MSNBC....
Obama has acted like a rockstar wanna be with no talent to get there. He hasn't wanted to deal with actually doing the job, he just wants to party with the stars. Pathetic
Lots of comments here that are so obviously biased and hateful that it is not rational to consider them seriously. Look for example at "KING PUTT" who apparently asks a serious question when he says, "You just can't turn off the hate can you?" Then look at his prior comments. Does he even understand what hate means?
Seriously, I hope that none of the boneheads who write this stuff actually believe they will change anyone's mind, but if you don't have an opinion of value .... an opinion that actually causes someone to re-think their own opinion ..... why do you even bother? Is it really fun to make childish insults and to demonstrate your lack of class (anonymously, of course) to anyone unfortunately enough to read your comments?
"Pay up and quit bitching!!!!"
That’s what 21st century Republicans do. They bitch, they whine, they complain, they moan, they grown, they cry, they carry on and on. They have no workable ideas, no solutions, and no answers --- so they’re constantly finding things to bitch about and when they run out of things to bitch about they make up things to bitch about.
Well, you gotta admit, similar characters hang together. Woods screws woman women other than his wife. Obama screws everyone. Everyone who is really close bud with Woods ends up making money of of him. Everyone who is really close buds with Obama ends up making money because of that.
Well, it was 34 with the wind chill factor here this morning........so much for a good golf game!
Perhaps he should have stayed home and worked on avoiding a sequester...just saying!
He is Tiger....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
.
I mean the President is strong, he has become stronger - developing mroe grace under pressure from the GOP
Obama promised he and his administration were going to 100% transparent. The media has been shut out completely. Haha. Wonder how long the media will tire of his arrogance? Why the media continues to defend Obama amazes me.
Most U.S. presidents** mainly do three things:
1. Transfer wealth to the rich from everyone else.
2. Slaughter poor people (usually non-white poor people and these days, usually in another country)
3. Play golf
That's it.
** FDR is the only exception that comes to mind and that's why in spite of the fact that people elected him president three times, they hardly ever mention him. It's something our elites, and their media, would like to forget (and most importantly, want YOU to forget, too).
Congress spends more time in recess than they do working, yet righties get all up in arms if the Leader of the Free World has a little much-needed R&R.
I hope the President got tips from Tiger on golf, but not on marriage.
They recruited ball boys and ball girls...privileged enough to get close to the President.
One of ball girls is ... Lucille Ball (of I love Lucy fame).
Obama has to catch up! The precedent was set by a former president (he-who-shall-not-be-named) at 1020 days vacation!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business, not a
government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt.................... 38%
Taft.................................. 40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding........................... 49%
Coolidge......................... 48%
Hoover............................ 42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman........................... 50%
Eisenhower................ .... 57%
Kennedy......................... 30%
Johnson.......................... 47%
Nixon.............................. 53%
Ford................................ 42%
Carter............................. 32%
Reagan........................... 56%
GH Bush......................... 51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush........................ 55%
Obama..................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has
never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff
and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.
Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main
stream media.
Now it will be interesting to see the insults the libs hurl in response to this.
All your statistics are bogus.
They have no sources, just garbage you cut and paste from the internet.
After ScommaG's reply, you find them, or better yet, let the troll ScommaG use his/her Obama phone to do a net search.
"He loves the game and loves the way the game is supposed to be played."
Yeah, it's a shame he doesn't love the country and loves the way the country is SUPPOSED to be run.
This is also the beginning of another 100+ rounds of golf while the nation crumbles.
No hate buddy, the hate is coming from YOUR side against this particular President. I don't really keep up with them, but I don't believe Limbaugh works for FOX, he's just a FOX idiot? Than again, I didn't mention FOX, what I said I've re-posted below:
I'm glad this President is giving you'll heartburn....LOL!!!! Keep listening to those ignorant talking heads, you know, your buddies, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and the other racist @!$%#s, and you'll have ulcers next......LOL!!
Kind of reminds you of the Boehner crew doesn't it.....
Out golfing with a total womanizer- why is this not surprising
Socialism is GREAT - UNTIL you run out of other peoples money.!!
Like a laser.!! B.S.
GuyLittle of #1.42: run out of other people's money?
Are you talking about big banksters in this financial crisis - the crisis that started in the US bt destroyed the world economy?
Are you talking about obscene subsidies to big oil? Are you talking about big gov handouts to big pharma - you know, those pharmaceuticals who got billions of handouts in GW Bush's favorite corporate welfare program called Medicare prescription drug benefits.
There are tons of such corporate welfare programs enacted by the GOP in charge.
I'm talking about a socialist president that has doubled this nations debt. A person that has made his living off other producers.
A president that has told more lies then Bill Clinton. Didn't Hussein vote against quantum easing as a Senator and said "that is not the actions of a responsible government". What does he agree to later as president. Printing more currency to keep things running like a responsible government would do.!! Never mind the robbery from our retirements and savings and the devaluation of the dollar. He must Take his entourage on vacations, Because that's what other presidents did, so its OK.. So much for that "Hope & Change" thing. Tell us how much$$ does it cost US per day to entertain this first family?? I would not complain except for the fact that this country is now $17 trillion dollars in debt. thanks to this guys policies.
A poser that is making to a crime to be productive and prosperous. That will do his best to run any producing business offshore to another country. Just ask Laughing boy Haliburton Joe why Haliburton has a head quarters in Dubai and in Houston.
Or is all this someone else's fault. Didn't Hussein know this going in or was this just a big surprise to him.
Nothing sticks to Teflon.!
I'm not worried what you idiots think about Barrack Hussein Obama, as long as you put President before his name. Oh, and that's for another four years. I'm glad he's taking three days off, the congress is taking about a week and a half. That's a long time for some of their members, most of the one's from the south will have to be retrained now. But that's okay, they don't really do much anyway, mostly complain about our President and run from the truth. Washington smells a lot nicer when they are away, there is less Bull$hit.
Captain Gerard...."@di "ldo" The kids are "Junior" White House Staff, idiot!"
Thank you for your kind words, Herr Capitano.
BTW uniformed "El Capitano": check out Mrs. Obama's plane manifest for her, and her two children, trip to Africa and you will find the children were listed as "SENIOR WHITE HOUSE STAFF".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The way Progressives (Liberals ~ Democrats) argue:
Beats governing.
Most of those negative postings are by idiots who are envious of the President playing golf with Tiger Woods.
so nice of him to tie up rush hour traffic at 5p today on I-95. He can leave at anytime and chooses 5p? Who cares if the rest of the country WORKED all day and just want to get home to dinner!!!
The "news" here is Barry's taking advice from Tiger..... wonder if it's only about his golf swing?
Owebama promised in the campaign would not happen. Now he is allowing it to happen.
He is the "commander-in-chief and on his watch, we're going to begin to unravel the finest military in the world, at a time when we need it most.
Focused like a laser.!!
Is this president ever NOT on vacation?
He never meets with Congress. He won't talk to Republicans. He won't talk with business leaders.
He comes out makes a speech about gun control, immigration, or allowing gays to join the Boy Scouts and then goes back to golfing or goes to Hawaii. We have an economy collapsing before our very eyes. Entering another official recession and unemployment HIGHER than when he took office. $6 Trillion more in debt and almost 50% more on Food Stamps. Highest percent on Welfare since the 70's and the lowest Labor Participation rate in almost 50 years. The highest percent unemployed 6 months or more since the Great Depression.
I thought he was going to focus "like a laser" on jobs and the economy? Not unless that "laser" is on the 14th tee.
This president is pathetic and now officially the title holder as the WORST economic recovery in United States history. I don't know what is worse, this pathetic president or the huge number of uninformed and incompetent voters who elected this pathetic president for a second term.
How about working a budget ....
Good for him. I hope he beats Tiger.
Hey Bo Peep...I found another Blowbama sheep....and his name is Royalstar05....Libtard POS.
No wonder the republicans are losing. Nice post 3rd grader.
Even if he loses big, the media will report that he won.
According to CBS News, as of last August:
"So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch."
If you are going to be critical, at least tell the truth, and check FACTS.
If you don't like the guy's policies, disagree . . . but you don't need to be either hateful or disgusting or childish. ForHeavensake, give your brain some exercise, and try for something thoughtful
FORWARD! :-)
I love articles like this. They cause SO MANY venomous Obama haters to slither out of their pits and congregate all in one place, that I can use the "Ignore this author" button over and over and over again, ... a dozen or more times on a single thread, and have the satisfaction of knowing that I will never again see another written comment by these churlish, juvenile and petulant ignoramuses.
Awwww, life is good!
;-)
"Lefties can't do anything right!"
"I love articles like this. They cause SO MANY venomous Obama haters to slither out of their pits and congregate all in one place"
It is entertaining. President Obama drives these people totally insane. The Obama haters remind of those old nuns I had in elementary school back in the 50s. With them, no matter what you did, they bitched about it. It you were standing up, you should be sitting down. If you were seated, you should be standing. If you were talking, you should be quite. If you were quite, you should be talking. They whined, griped, complained about everything you did, all them time, no matter what you did. And that’s exactly what these Obama haterd so --- bitch, whine, complain 24/7/365.
Anything but an independent thinker Nah, that would never happen Lefties can't do anything right!
Your wrong as a Republcian can be! Lefties do think with there right mind! Look it up if you can read!
The President is relaxed and recharged ... better prepared for more Tea Party nonsense.
No one cheers louder for a tyrant than the people that are enslaved by him!
"So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch."
Yeah but those Presidents were capable of leading the country from those locations....This Empty Suit can't do it when he's in town.......
J.C.-1016889
Obama..................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?
I'm not a fan of Obama but the fact that he has had so little experience in business is a plus as far as I'm concerned.
Most business people are selfish, greedy, and criminal when they think they can get away with it.
Unfortunately, even though Obama doesn't have much business experience he's an admirer and loyal servant to it.

Here is a list of the 20th century businessmen who became President of the United States
Here is a list of the two worst Presidents in the 20th century
Just as interesting as Bush chopping wood or Cheney shooting quail !
Or Cheney shooting his hunting partner in the face. Maybe if the Pres accidentally decapitated Tiger with a nine iron these people would consider it news worthy.
I'm betting that the First Lady had the passing thought that, all things considered, it might be best if Tiger doesn't give the President too many pointers.
;-)
I was thinking along the same lines. BO didn't ask for any golf pointers, he asked, "Where the white women?", and gave Tiger a fist bump.
spike
Face it, bonehead ...... you really weren't "thinking" --- you were just doing what you always do ..... act instinctively out of racism.
'Spike', please extend me the courtesy of not responding to my comments with your intolerant and racist remarks; and I'll extend you the same courtesy of not being baited by your vile and uncivil view of the world. Having a virulent racist even notice my comments, makes me feel like I need a cleansing shower.
obama is an ass...........
Not as much as your name would indicate you are...
so is tiger.
mcpaddywack - Library open on Sundays?
Guess so.
Oh, look...it's Buffalo Chip chiming in with more of his feckless DUMBocrat rabble. Now go back to your one-handed "quiet time" with your Blowbama poster and leave this discussion board to those of us who HAVE jobs and pay for your Jokebama phone and food stamps, Libtard POS.....
you mean his BUSH phone, right douche?
http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/09/27/924011/the-truth-about-the-obama-phone/
Really??? ThinkProgress???? A total left wing blog??? How about a story from FOX too?? You're just spewing onesided "facts"
McPaddywack, get off the computer before I tell your parents. Teenagers using such language.
Um, joebob, hate to break it to you, but Think Progress actually provides facts. But hey, who cares about facts?
FACT: The govenment program that provides land lines and cell phones to low income individuals, Lifeline, was started in 1984, under the Saint Ronald Reagan administration.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/cellphone.asp
Now please stop it. You are making a fool out of yourself.
Yeah, but then they were just set up for emergency 911 calls. Not to talk to your grandchildren for 200+ minutes per month. Us taxpayers have to pay 40 bucks a month to do that.
Babina,
ThinkProgress is so far left it can't report "facts", just opinions. Lifeline was started under Reagan, but in 08 while both houses of the congress were run by democrats, it was pushed more towards cell phones and don't you know any plan the dems push, up go the costs of running it. So in response to your demeaning personality, the fool here is you for supporting a man that has done more in 4 years to destroy this country than any treasonous person could.
"Obama is an ass."
Truer words have never been spoken.
Another outing vacation time while unemployment continues....................
can u believe o'bama is golfing on a sunday? i guess that since the repubelickin party decided to take another extended (9 day,) vacation, o'bama thought he'd tak A DAY off too.
David...Blowbama has taken the past 4 YEARS off....keep drinking the Kool Aid, sheep.
RoamingGnome, I can't beleive the president took the weekend off. By the way sorry you are required to work 7 days a week but some of us have the weekend off.
Another congressional vacation recess while unemplyment continues.............
Obama doesn't need Congress He said so, himself. Just a secretary, then he can just sit in the Whitehouse and sign executiver orders.
Nice!
One screwed every woman he could - the other screwed the country.
Who Big Bush or Little Bush?!!... Big Bush didn't screw anyone but Ms Bush... Get real!...
The screwing is not even close to done..........
yep, we got four mo years .
waiter can you take this wine back, I think the grapes are sour or something.
Wouldn't it be nice to play with the elite while you keep stroking the lower class that keeps you up there on that pedestal?
How about spending some time with your parties majority that hasn't passed a budget in 4 years to get it done?
No better than to tell EVERYONE to go screw themselves like the repubs do... Forget about doing whats best for the country or the economy let alone trying to figure out how to STEAL oh I mean win elections because the demographics of our country HAS changed!... and they AREN'T READY for it!!!.... oh those are republican words not demos...
Hahaha...Hmmm? Receiving lessons from Tiger's "swing coach" can hardly lead to positive press. Oh well, guess he's passing the time waiting for the House to come back in session. Can't do anything without their initiation of a bill.
Like the 18 or so budgets that have been put in front of Reid the last 31/2 years with nothing done.
Now that he's been re-elected, Obama doesn't care what kind of press he gets.
"Mr. Obama, the people don't have the time or the money to play golf!" a trusted advisor exclaimed.
"Let them play tennis." the President replied.
The President of the U.S. could not choose another golfer whose personal life is less scandalous, whose treatment of women is more respectiful, whose character is more honorable? What was that old adage - ? ... We are known by the company we keep.
alone- birds of a feather...........
Ah..."to err is human; to forgive is divine."
Obama hangs with a dis-respectable womanizer and the media reports without making this point.....What do you think they would report if it was Boehner or some other republican?
like the repubelickin senator vitter from LA. who was a client of the dc madame?
the repubelickin party supported his re-election while the dems forced weiner to resign over a legal picture.
David,
The left always has an excuse or a disproportionate argument for whatever point is made......Come on, pull your big boy pants up and take some personal responsibility!!!!!!!!
@David, yeah like the demo-rat Senator from N.J. having ICE hold up nabbing his intern until after the 11/06/2012 elections, you know the intern the one who's a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER and a ILLEGAL ALIEN, yeah know that one!
Dear GOP. please send your approved list of golf players that YOU think are suitable because YOU should even control who the president plays golf with because you pay taxes.
"What do you think they would report if it was Boehner or some other republican?"
Crying Speaker Tan Man plays golf with his fellow drunks nost of the time, not world class golfers.
He is just adding to the deficit Caching ,Caching, Caching$$$$ at the taxpayers expense.
Ya know, he does get paid to do his job... I am pretty sure he can afford to play a round of golf. I mean, not like he used a military jet to land on an aircraft carrier or something... Sheesh...
Gnome,
The Prez needs a vacation too just like the rest of us. Stressful job U know, having the weight of the world on your shoulders and being the most powerful man in the world. Prolly more than U could handle.
he has been on one @ our expense for four years.
Yeah he had TWO to Hawaii, what a month ago! Yeah he's stressed and forgot to submit as budget as required by law, oh that's right Bo-Dumbo doesn't have to abide by the law does he??
It will be very hard for Barry to play with his hands in Tiger's pockets.
pockets or pants?
Let the whining begin --- yes teatards -- the President you hate is playing golf with some other black guy you likely hate too. My suggestion --- get over it. Of course you will ignore the tact that your hero George W. Bush took vacation after vacation after vacation and also ignore that his father is in the Golf Hall of Fame.
We do not hate Barry because he is black, but because he is ruining America while you are getting your government cheese.
Charlie...you sanctimonious windbag and your Chris A$$thews/Nothing But Cr*p news talking points again...it is tired and old...just like Blowbama's D*CKtatorial policies...
Charlie. You should be in the a--hole hall of fame.
actually,if you research it,Obama leads all presidents in modern times in vacations and days away from the White House not on Government business
@Buff: I don't hate Bo-Dumbo because he's half-black I hate Bo-Dumbo because our POTUS (without the TU) is DUMB!!
silly.....
Actually that is good. Could you imagine what harm he could do if he were in the White House all the time?
SillyChamberpot, I looked it up and your just making it up. Go to Fact Check....Bush 42 vacation Days...Reagan 77 Vacation days....Obama 26 vacation days.
Republicans just make up stuff as they go along, with nothing to back it up. Isn't that called a LIE
sanc·ti·mo·ni·ous
/ˌsaNG(k)təˈmōnēəs/
Adjective
derogatory. Making a show of being morally superior to other people.
Hey Douche -- that describes your behavior I see here.
Actually, we should probably be thankful that Obama has vacationed as much as he has. When he's working, all we get is stupid legislation, tax increases, and an EPA that's trying to shut down the economy. My only regret is that we couldn't arrange for him to get that permanent vacation last year!
"We do not hate Barry because he is black"
Well Buffarilla – it’s like this. I play a lot of golf with a lot of different people. I’ve noticed something. The very same people who are constantly griping, whining, complaining and making all manner of racist comments about President Obama are, just about all the time, the very same people who are constantly griping, whining, complaining and making all manner of racist comments about Tiger Woods. Now – what is one of the main characteristics that both President Obama and Tiger Woods share?? Hmmm --- let’s see --- they are both children of biracial couples and they both are indentified as black men. Now – is that just a coincidence? I tend to think not.
"We do not hate Barry because he is black,"
"actually,if you research it,Obama leads all presidents in modern times in vacations"
SillyChamberpot, -- I don’t suppose you have a link to that “research” do you --- perhaps a source or two??
Obama is NOT half black. If the man he claims is his father really is, he is 50% white, 13% black, and 37%ARAB.
The president played a round of golf, so get over it.He also played with Tiger Woods. Why cant he have some leisure time in his life.I wonder why people are so upset.Go play some golf or get a life people.
"Bo-Dumbo"? LOL... name calling? What are you 5?
I am surprised our leftist leader would play golf with such a womanizer. Side note.... Im sure Tiger has his share of tax loopholes.
Cesar plays as the kingdom falls deeper into the @!$%#. MHO
Yeah Tiger moved to Fla. years ago, to avoid the high taxes in other States, Fla.'s State Income Tax rate is ZERO!!
Freaky Slinger, you have everyone's permission to move to Florida or any other state that doesn't have income tax and we won't label you a bad person for doing it.
He could have moved to Washington. We don't have an income tax either.
It must be nice playing golf so much while the rest of us are having a hard time affording bread and milk. What an awesome president.
It's the rich people's fault......Just listen to the big O tell you they must pay their "Fair Share".......All rhetoric that the sheeple fall for as he plays golf on their dime!!!
Hey JOEBOB23, next time you get stopped for speeding tell the cop your paying his salary and he better not take a weekend off. lol
Mattttt, your right, he is the 1st president to take a weekend off. The GOP presidents worked 4 years without taking a day off. Boo Hoo
At least the cop is doing his job on my dime!!!!!!!!
joebob23
Are you rich?
Lee,
Yes, in character, work ethic, and common sense.....I don't need someone who thinks they are smarter than me telling me how I should live my life while telling others they aren't getting a "fair shot".
I came from nothing and worked hard to get where I am. I could have gone farther if I was willing to sacrifice some of my wants and desires, but I chose not to. But, I don't sit here and blame those that have more than me for that, because I don't know what they sacrificed to get where they are.
Everyone in this country today has the same chances, some just don't want to sacrifice anything to get what they desire.
You can't afford bread and milk but you are on the internet?
If you can't afford bread and milk get a job. Read a book instead of going to the library computer. Obama is a great president.
Country going to help cause nothing gets done except for the President and Senatoe, Congressmans spends tax paying middle class workers money so they can have their glory.
Could you please re-state that in English. On second thought don't bother.
I think he had his three year old type it for him.
Wonder if theywill be packing when going to South Beach tonight to pick something up?
Dat president, he don't play with no white boys.
He doesn't play hockey or WWF or monster truck driving or hog catching or log rollin or gator wrestlin' and in order to play those sports you can't have more than 5 teeth.
Gee, I wonder why the PresiDEBT isn't playing golf with Phil Mickelson....
How about Jesse Jackson, Jr.?
Does it burn you that he is playing golf with another black man? wow.
President Obama learned from all the former white Presidents. Only different is that according to other in the forum. He should do nothing but sit and take all the flack of the mess the whites are doing. Example, what happen to the jobs the republicans promised during their campaign? no jobs, no votes for jobs and it all falls on the President for the devils hanging in the background saying no. Bush started the mess and nobody said a word. Oh forgot he is white also so they are allowed to to screw u and walk way. People didn't even make a deal about the Bush girls hanging out getting drunk and getting locked up. Wow- the President plays golf like all the others did and people have a real problem. Where is Bush now? can he help clean up his mess? Does he really care. No because he gave his self and the next President a big fat raise when the leave. So he sits back, writes a book and laughs at the rest who do without. Obama ask for help , just enough vote to get folks back to work and they still say no. Wow people. Maybe he should do like Bush and just wait for the next President to come and walk away with the millions that are due to him thanks to Bush
Maybe Barry, who is so concerned about women's rights, should not hang around with someone who had a affair with every hooker in town while he was married.
fear not,check his sexuality
Maybe if Harry Reid brought the jobs jobs bills up for a vote in the Senate something would happen, so direct your B.S. at the demo-rats in the Senate!! Bo-Dumbo's been in control for FOUR years, quite the blame Bush B.S., it's real old, your boy Bo-Dumbo own's!!
Oh I get it.........according to Denise the white half of Obama is screwing up the economy so the black half must be playing golf.....got it!
Buffarilla, we are giving you the job of vetting anyone the president speaks to, shakes hands with, plays golf with, waves at and nods in their direction. Your list can then be sent to congress and if the Senate disagrees, the House has the right to filibuster.
Denise, everyone is growing weary of racial rhetoric. If you believe in racial equality, act like it.
Once again for the libs claiming everyone who criticizes the King is a racist. He IS NOT half black, he is more white than black (only approx. 13% black) see previous post.
Tiger and our President playing together. I hope this is publicized widely. But might cost him some votes from the women. Oh that's right he can't run again so he doesn't have to worry about offending anyone anymore.
"But might cost him some votes from the women."
Hey brainchild --- he’s NOT going to run again. He can only serve 2 terms.
I see Charlie failed to read my entire post. A.D.D.?
OMG Obama goes golfing!!! Ahhhhhhhh... Here come the Obama-hating zombies to make total jackasses of themselves! Lol...
Dec thru January,22 days in Hawaii,now Florida and skiing in February.Yeah,just like Joe 6 Pack,a vacation every month
Here goes another "Brown" zombie defending his master.
Hey, its your money too champ. Enjoy your 40 hours going to work this week, because At least you know where your money is going.
Oh c'mon guys.....give the Prez a break.....Playing golf.......probably he does that better than he does anything else when working so why not have him take as many golf days as possible.
Next, the media will try to tell us that Obama won! Another big thrill for Chris Matthews!
At least he can't screw the country up while he is playing golf....This dude likes playing president but has no effin clue as to what needs to be done..Dang it. I forget, he knows exactly what he doing...Bringing down the US colonial power..chit.
Bo-Dumbo ON THE ROAD (vacation) AGAIN, doesn't he have some campaigning to do??
2 more Jets , for two different locations, for once again --separate vacations, all while of course "evolving" around the issues yet once again. And least I forget----ALL while saying "I'm for the Middle Class". Oh yes, almost forgot! Lets not forget about all the money on staff and secret service too, now ain't that grand?
Funny how being (( ALL )) for the Middle Class always means spending alot of Middle Class Taxpayer Money, and spending time with Million-aires he so despises. HE AUGHT to be spending time in Washington working on our problems, not on a Golf Swing.
Don't forget the multiple C-130's needed to carry his 10,000 personal armored car, "The Beast" along with a whole bunch of armored Cadillac Escalades.. Now we are talking "real" money...
Boy the way I'm eliminating all the right wing bigoted idiots on this thread, it's going to be much quicker reading of the "slander section" of these threads in the future. Enjoy your break, Mr. President. You deserve it!
