shankapotomus President Barack Obama Golfer Golfing Golf Swing Hawaii e-trade baby shankapotus
Barack Obama’s golf swing reveals he’s an athlete, a duffer and fun to play with By Michael Bamberger Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated Published: December 24, 2008 Golf.com has performed an important service. It has posted five photographs, taken by AP photographer Gerald Herbert, that shows President-elect Barack Obama on vacation in Hawaii playing golf. This is invaluable as we all know that nothing, not even a CNN special called “Obama Revealed,” reveals the soul as ruthlessly and efficiently as how one plays the old Scottish game. John F. Kennedy nearly made a hole-in-one on the short par-3 15th at Cypress Point (the best-smelling hole in all of golf, if you like the mix of eucalyptus and brackish ocean water) while running for the presidency in 1960. Kennedy, considered by presidential golfing historians to be by far the most skilled of our golf-playing presidents, was relieved to see the ball stay out. He was trying to succeed Dwight Eisenhower as president, and not as First Golfer. The game then wasn’t the populist activity it has become. Kennedy, foolishly, allowed himself to be photographed taking a golf swing in fancy loafers, no socks. Still, he won West Virginia. But Obama does not have to run from his golf. The guess here is that he’s an athlete and a duffer and fun to play with. In Photo No. 1, the first thing that strikes you is that Obama is a lefthanded golfer who plays golf wearing a watch, just like Phil Mickelson. Also like Lefty, the future president …
@cjd623
can’t argue with the ignorant and uninformed
“Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents”
The federal government spent $3.5 trillion during President Obama’s first year in office. This far exceeds the spending for any other first-year president.
Economy improved? ??? Unemployment is at 10.2%
The dollar is going to be worth crap when Obama gets through “fixing” our economy.
Bush didn’t wreck the economy – Democratic controlled Congress did.
okay first- you say Obama supposedly spent the money and now you say the federal government. and then the unemployment rate used to be around a good 15% when bush was in office.
third, you say bush didnt wreck the economy. so what about the war that he started. bush stated that he wanted to rebuild iraq and iran but how can rebuild if we kept bombing the place. so the situation was that we build a shelter that was bombed and then a couple weeks later it gets blown up again now thats a waste of money if you ask me. and besides if the federal government is supposedly spending this much money. who’s the say they not paying off our dept? or spend it on schools in need ect.
@cjd623
yeah ok – Obama is doing a fantastic job, all is well in America.
We’ll all take another hit on the Obama bong – Merry Chris… oooops sorry can’t say that! Happy Holidays!!!
lol im not saying hes the best i was trying to say hes not the worst. I just think its unfair to be automatically labeled as a bad president based on some rumors and bias opinions.
@cjd623
obviously you’re not keeping up with Obama’s constant screw ups and horrible policies. Like I said before, can’t discuss with the uninformed.
Obama’s approval rating dropping like a rock in a pond.
uninformed? really? if hes screwing up so bad then how did why hasnt he been impeached if hes doing awfully as president.
and one more thing if im so uniformed then tell me what has he screwed up
@cjd623
how many Presidents have been impeached in the history of the United States? try answering that without looking it up
@cjd623
Obama has a huge list of screw ups my friend – he’s in way over his head.
wait till the Iran debacle unfolds – see how he handles the real tough stuff. He’s already screwed up the economy and Afghanistan. Health Care will be next.
white people are weird, why are they following him on his vacation?
wait the health care was already screwed up in the first place, and plus not everyone will be satisfied with any presidents decisions. think about alll the presidents we had in the past. im pretty sure out of most of them they had made decisions that you were not in favor with. but since your republican (guessing) your not going to be satisfied in any way. and people like you always try to find something negative about him. and plus do you really think the media is telling the truth about every
-thing they said. and plus im pretty sure you heard of yellow journalism am i correct? honestly are you telling me the strait truth or are you being bias about the conversation?
@cjd623
Obama is on par with Jimmy Carter as one of our worst Presidents in the history of the United States. Afghanistan debacle, Health Care debacle, Economy debacle and now Terrorist are trying to hit our airplanes again. Our head of Homeland Security, Janet “the system worked” Napolitano is a complete MORON! She should be fired!
healthcare wasnt screwed up in the first place! 85% of americans payed for THEIR OWN healthcare. with obama’s plan, that a 5 year old could find the flaws and earmarks in, 100% of americans will have to pay for the 15% that cant do it themselves. on top of their own policies! what an ingenius, totally not socialist plan!
You all talk about how Obama ‘has screwed up the economy’, but what are you really talking about. Most economists look at the stock market as an indicator of the economy and the strength of the economy. The Dow closed the year at 10548 – UP 20.19% for the year. Pretty healthy if you ask me. In 2008, during the Bushit admin, it dropped 33% and in ’07 was up less than 7%. Looks like our PREZ is doing something right for the economy, wouldn’t you say?
@SSchus87
You’re talking about 2007, 2008 with the same Democratic Congress in control now.
You can cherry pick for Obama all you want but you have to admit he’s doing very bad overall. The latest debacle is his total inconsideration of national security.
Looks like our PREZ is SUCKING overall.
go lefthanded golfers
obama thought that club was a shovel? terrible… you can tell he just started golfing in 2009 loll
cherry pick?
@CheekiMnky
We are worse off than we were before 2009. Obama is Bush on steroids.
lol!
Thank you.
Hahahaha, the world is in disaster and he is playing golf- loool- at least Bush played better than him…nice one CIA, next time maybe you should just let him stick to basketball like in the elections (racist faggots)
He still golfs far better than he governs.
Did his teleprompter tell him when to say four?
He’s playing golf as the citizens of America clean and ready their guns! Revolution calling anyone…
