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

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."...

He probably claimed one under par on the eight hole too.

That is ok. If I saw Obama across the street I would drive on by too.

You know the famous tv cop expression, “NOTHING here to see. Keep on moving!”

That probably took 11 strokes off his total.

What a loser. If he thinks this is going to improve the way people regard him, he is nuts. We all know he is goofing off on the golf courses all the time instead of working. We don’t need pictures to realize that.

I wish he’d skip the next election while he’s at it.

What a phony bas***d.

It is all smoke and mirrors.

The faster he is marginalized and eliminated in 2012 the better.

What a twit!! Would Bush have skipped a hole to avoid a picture? Oh wait Bush quit golf out of respect for soldiers. Would Eisenhower have skipped a hole? Ike played more golf than any other President by far and Obama has no chance to catch him.

He’ll still write the 8th down as one below par on his scorecard.
Because he felt like it would have been a GOOD hole.
Besides , Obama’s whole Presidency has been one “gimme”
after another.

frequent golfing buddy Eric Whitaker

He's the guy on the right in the picture below. Click on the source for an interesting story that was hushed by the MSM.
