[Hussein] Obama went golfing in Hawaii...then made what ABC News describes as a 40-foot chip shot....The press rewarded Obama with cheers.

[SoFloFreeper]

Six members of our military killed by the Taliban reported yesterday, too.

Team Obama says the Taliban is not our enemy "per se". Meanwhile, the media claps as Obama plays games.

Nero, anyone?

Video at link. Have a barf bag nearby.

Miami Florida media has been running it all morning.

Time for a cartoon with Obama holding the press on leashes as monkeys.

[DoodleDawg]

I don’t care who you are. Draining a forty footer like that is worth a cheer.

[laconic]

The “press” cheers when Obama hit a 40 foot putt? So what? They’ve been “cheering” everything he’s done since he first announced for president, either openly or through their shady writings and pronouncements on tv. Its just slightly more out in the open now.

[TornadoAlley3]

They cheer when he sinks our country. Make America Great Again.

[Snark]

I haven’t seen it. 40 foot chip shot in the hole? I’m sure it was more luck than skill but damn... That’s worth some bragging rights.

[I want the USA back]

I’ve noticed a phenomenon. When a chimpanzee makes some random lines on a canvas, all the liberals in the room ooo and awe, saying what a work of art it is. Known as the Noble Savage Syndrome.

Same thing happening here.

[Carriage Hill]

"The press rewarded Obama with cheers"

The press rewarded Obama with cheers a tongue bath.

[bray]

Did he break 100?

Merry Christmas

I haven t seen it. 40 foot chip shot in the hole? I m sure it was more luck than skill but damn... That’s worth some bragging rights.

I was a terrible golfer, but if you golf often enough, it happens.

I even rolled a t-shot all the way to within 1 ft. of the cup on a par 3 hole.

[subterfuge]

7 years and he finally lucks in a chip shot? He must really suck!

[over3Owithabrain]

Big deal - W Bush could have done that. Oh wait we’ll never know because he stopped golfing as prez when our troops were getting killed in the Middle East.

If my hubby went golfing during our family vacation, he’d be sleeping on the couch. We ALL went miniature golfing and did everything together during our vacation. It was family time.

[Delmarksman]

I am reminded of the Star Trek episode Bread and Circuses. This is the instant the guy cranks the knob for the canned applause.

[wideawake]

Big deal. He’s been training hard for seven years.

[over3Owithabrain]

I was a terrible golfer, but if you golf often enough, it happens.

I play twice a year and rarely break 100, but I recently hit one out of a greenside bunker and it rolled into the hole. No troops were killed during the event.

[Daffynition]

The part you didn't see.

[silverleaf]

Exactly what I was thinking
Who in the press pool is going to Dover to cover the return of 6 coffins ?

It was such a heroic fight by the media to be allowed to photograph soldier coffins returning from war

At least, when it was Bush’s war

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

It s such a frustrating sport. You hit a nice straight drive and the next shot you hit sideways. UGH! 8-)
