Rome is burning and this idiot is playing golf. Does anyone think the American electorate will one day wake up? I don't

What can I say, Obama seems to want to be here, there, everywhere. What an EGO.

Is this a parody?

This can’t be real.

The PGA can go to hell

They had me until I read this paragraph

With the president joining the field, additional security measures have been added, as well as a few modifications to the rules: Obama gets two mulligans per nine holes He’s permitted to tee off from the forward tees (formerly called the “ladies’ tees”) He gets to use a specially constructed bullet proof golf cart Any putt under a foot from the cup is in the “circle of friendship”, and will be considered a “gimme”. Obama is permitted to carry a “foot wedge” in his bag. Teleprompters will be allowed on the course for the first time in the tournament’s 77 year history. “Purists might be upset with these concessions,” Payne said at his news conference, “but since he’s given the PGA a waiver on Obamacare, I felt it’s only fair we give him a waiver on some of the rules.”

The original article is tagged: “humor, parody, Golf, Obama”.

Maybe this posting should be as well?

This should be in the breaking parody section. Why change the original title?

At the bottom of the original article, it says:

“Tags: Golf, Humor, Obama, Parody”

It was pretty clearly satire once I got here “two mulligans per nine holes” and I don’t know much about golf.

Mulligans and special rules? The “president” is playing the girl among men. And I’m not trying to be mean. He is. No man who is a Man would want to be out there under such conditions. ESPECIALLY if he considered himself a golfer.

"...but when he started asking if he could get an exemption and actually play…I figured, what the heck."

Yeah...rules are for the little people. Whatanasshole. Pardon my French.

“Yes, we’re fighting three kinetic military actions. Yes, the government might shut down on Saturday. Yes, gas prices are rocketing. Yes, filming “Jersey Shore” in Italy has been delayed a month. The President is fully aware of all these issues, and believe me, he is so brilliant at multi-tasking, I’m confident that despite all this that’s going on, he’ll still maintain a cool, collected attitude and will not be deterred from going for the green in two on hole 13. You guys are making too big a deal out of this. Just take it easy, okay?”

Speaks volumes...
