The earthquake that originated here in Virginia was felt across the east coast of the United States, including the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, where Barack Obama is holidaying. The President was out playing golf at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs when the tremors were detected...
Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown, the White House pool print journalist, reported that shortly after the quake:
"He (Obama) stepped up to his ball, which was several feet from the hole, and made two practice strokes. He missed the hole on his first putt, but got it close. He then tried to tap it in, but missed again."

What's worse, the fact that he goes golfing while an earthquake hits the east coast, or that he blames the earthquake on his missing a putt?
Bush’s fault!
Did the island tip over?
That sums up his attempts at politics.
There was an earthquake and the plant has been shut down as a precaution.
Probably no problem, but you’re the POTUS and you hear there has been an earthquake, do you:
(1) immediatly stop you game, call FEMA and find out what is going on
(2) finish the back nine
He crapped his pants.
Bush’s fault!
O - M - G. This isn’t satire? Yegods.
“Spalding!”
Did he get a mulligan? Or is that mullah-gan?
I’m surprised he ever misses driving a golf ball into the hole. He never misses an opportunity to drive our nation into a deeper hole.
Sorry for the Nutzy reference, but seeing him laugh as Washington crumbles just reminds me so much of the WW2 pic of the guy with the toothbrush mustache dancing a jig...
The putt may have been missed but he will not be.
Gender confusions.
It was reported the press was to be kept at bay during the golfing so this pathetic news was reported first hand from the POTUS press pool I imagine from a distance as they were not allowed photos. Pathetic.
It’s not a watch. It’s a mini-TOTUS.
[golf clap]
... wow that’s funny. Check out those skinny legs.
Notice he’s been wearing long pants ... haven’t seen him in shorts for some time now ... why ??
Not satire. This is NOT the Onion.
This is a “real” story written by a “real” reporter in a “real” newspaper.
