Woods calls Obama’s election ‘absolutely incredible’
Tiger Woods isn’t one to reveal his opinions on many non-golf topics. But the No. 1-ranked player in the world did weigh in on Barack Obama’s election as the first African American president in United States history.
“I think it’s absolutely incredible,” Woods told CNBC. “He represents America. He’s multiracial. I was hoping it would happen in my lifetime. My father was hoping it would happen in his lifetime, but he didn’t get to see it. I’m lucky enough to have seen a person of color in the White House.”
When asked by the cable news outlet how his father Earl would have reacted to Obama’s election as the 44th President of the United States, Woods didn’t hesitate.
“He would have cried. Absolutely. No doubt about it.”

The reference was being made to a now "black" president.........I know several "black" republicans who felt the same way........but were dismayed that he was a democrat.
