The Obama campaign is deeply concerned about the president's falling poll numbers, especially the 10% decline in his likeability index, as well as Romney's ability to raise hundreds of millions of campaign dollars.

Senior campaign officials felt that it was important to try and change the dynamic, and suggested to Obama that he attempt to reach out to the American people, especially independents, to convince them that he is really doing everything to solve the country's economic problems.

Everyone knows that among Obama's greatest joys is a round of golf. Indeed, the president has played more than 100 times since taking office, a fact which has been used by his critics to show that Obama is detached and uncaring about the problems facing Americans, especially the middle class.

They suggested that the president make this promise to the American people tonight: not one more tee shot, or putt.

Obama was said to have been initially vehemently opposed to the idea, until Joe Biden pointed out the obvious to the president: "Hey, it's no big f****n deal, Barack..if you lose the WH..why then, you'll have time to play all the damn golf you want to."

So tonight, expect to hear these words from the president:

"Read my lips! NO MORE MULLIGANS!"

He should have done that 444 days ago.

They might run that by a focus group, where it will fare poorly. Six months ago, it might have worked; now it would look like the cheating husband promising to not hang out at bars AFTER he’s caught gambling his money and spending on floozies. BANG goes the rolling pin!

I prefer he go on a hunger strike...oops, that won’t work while Biden is still physically, though not mentally, among us.

LOL! So... does this mean he’s picking up tennis? Or maybe it means he’ll increase his vacation time? We know he’s interested in going back to Cartagena. Or perhaps freeing up golf time will allow him more flexibility to Putin.

The mindless drones will commiserate and cry, "Poor Obama. Look how he's going to sacrifice for us!"

There is no shame in these people. Absolutely none.

Yeah, but his overweight wife will make up for it with her multi-million-dollar vacations! So, we lose again. She probably still wants to kick his ass for spending multi-millions to hide all his personal records.

President Bush gave it up when the troops deployed. What a sorry POS this guy is. Are we all supposed to cheer because he decides it’s time to do some work?

“Now, people of Germany, give us four years and then pass judgment upon us. In accordance with Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s command we shall begin now. May God Almighty give our work His blessing, strengthen our purpose, and endow us with wisdom and the trust of our people, for we are fighting not for ourselves but for Germany.” - Adolf Hitler 1933

You don't actually believe that, do you?

Since when does Obama EVER inconvenience himself for America?

There is not a chance in Hades that Obama gives up golf for ANYTHING!

I think you misheard something. Obama must have said he was giving up the Gulf (of Mexico) until every illegal alien has a job and enjoys affordable health care.

And, what a pathetic thing it would be to hear the POTUS promise to fix things by giving up a game. A GAME! Very child like & immature. "I'm giving up my dollies until I pass spelling". The world would laugh until they ended up crying.

Finally, I kinda like it when he plays golf. Every time an incompetent, Marxist leader is not doing his job, the rush to tyranny is interrupted.

Come January 21st he will be able to play all day, every day if he wants... no matter what the outcome of the election. If you believe this promise you also believe his other promise... “I'll only put it in just a little way”.

I am standing by my bet that Hillary will be drafted before this is over and done with.

There is no way this Chicago thug and his flying monkeys can do this to the country for another 4 years. Plus there have been way too many random acts of journalism from the media this week.

Oh, the sacrifice of Barack Obama Superstar!

The Kenyan Commie can shove it. Hard and deep.

Just leave the Oval Office, and go play golf all you want. Leave America alone.

Not that I’d ever vote for him, but Obama should have gotten down to business when he was first elected. No DO-OVERS!
