Golf: Obama Skips the 8th hole to avoid TV Cameras & photographer
The Obama Report ^ | 8/21/11

Posted on 08/21/2011 4:22:38 PM PDT by Frankusa

The White House says the country does not begrudge Obama some [vacation] time with his family, but it has been careful to allow no pictures so far of him at play on the golf course...

The Boston Globe reported that when Obama [on Friday] approached "the eighth tee in a golf cart with friend and frequent golfing buddy Eric Whitaker," he "noticed three TV cameras and a Globe photographer across the street. Rather than stop and be photographed teeing off, the president skipped the hole."...

No Balls!! That happened to me once had to go back to pro shop to continue. Lots of alcohol involved in that outing and score was incalculable.

If there’d been a flag-draped coffin on the 8th hole, he’d have hung around for the photo op.

Maybe you and I should send Zerobama a post card.

How does "Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful, and glad you're NOT here." sound?

Another promise kept of one ‘birdie’ created or saved.

What a heroic president! </s>

Skipping this hole is a further indication that Obama is scared of the perception of playing golf while the economy is tanking? By his actions here the Won just justified all the negative press he’s receiving?
Maybe he’ll say that he skipped the 8th hole so he could get back to doing the peoples work? The end result is he’s a phony through and through.

Golfing makes for unfortunate photo shoots sometimes.

It gave him the opportunity to break 100 for the first time.

The coward didn’t want everyone see how bad a golfer he is. Afraid he would duff the shot.

Ike played more golf than any other President by far and Obama has no chance to catch him.

Wow. It's been years since I encountered that particular vomit. Thanks for reminding me that idiots didn't just begin the last generation.

Facts are facts he played on Wednesday and the weekend throughout his 8 years. One could research as I have; but understand that Ike had more respect for the office than any President barring possibly Reagan of course.

Why play if you don’t keep score? I find this offensive. I bet he takes mulligans too!

That’s gonna be his re-election slogan: “Give Obama A Mulligan in 2012”

We both speak truer than we know.
I like that as an ANTI campaign slogan
though, with a picture of Zero on the putting
green “expertly” sizing up a putt.
“A putz with his putts”.
Unfortunately not everyone knows what a “Mulligan”
is-—some might interpret “Give Obama a Mulligan in
201”t as a clumsy attempt
to court the Irish vote. Zero’s supporters are just
that stupid.
Human divots (just to continue the golf metaphors)
