Barack Obama missed golf putts after earthquake struck
The Telegraph ^ | 8-23-11 | Toby Hardin

Posted on 08/23/2011 2:03:15 PM PDT by Brookhaven

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."

Just proves once again that this A-hole will blame ANYTHING for his own failure.

Did he get a mulligan?

If they'd been playing gimmes, he may have gotten one for the tap-in. But since he tried to putt it in and failed, I'd say no gimmes. But, I'm sure he gets mulligans; at least one a shot...

I think he is too skinny to be shown in shorts.His suit looks like it is going to fall down as he swaggers to the podium to ruin America. Thank all that is good and God we don’t have to watch anymore speeches while he vacay’s.I will cringe if he gives another speech to announce his new made up crap of a plan. Maybe no shorts pix cause he ordered no vacay/leisure pix.No more gay bike pix allowed.

I didn't realize what a failure his bus tour was. The MSM political cartoons usually favor him.

He missed the hole on his first putt, but got it close. He then tried to tap it in, but missed again.

I have a suspicion that that is all Obama...it had nothing to do with an earthquake.

Right, because if not for the quake, Hussein the 30 handicapper would’ve knocked that putt center cut.

Only in America could you see a headline that reads:

Biggest Earthquake Since 1944 Hits East Coast
Obama Three-Putts

Seriously Barney Rubble could beat Obama if he is not impeached first. I can hear Valerie Jarrett screaming to the top of her lungs now...I SAID NO VACATION AND ESPECIALLY GOLF REPORTS OR PICTURES.

I think this little event of Obama playing golf PERIOD while the nation crumbles will cost him his campaign if not impeachment first.
