Businessman Ian said: We were having a few drinks, then a stripper dressed as a St Trinians schoolgirl appeared.
She was no Miss World and it was the last thing I wanted. As soon as Barack saw what was about to happen he made a hasty retreat.
He was in politics already and left the pub immediately.
Ian added: I played a couple of rounds of golf with him in 1997.
We had to go to a municipal course because golf clubs wouldn t have been keen on a black man playing on their course back then.
He is very competitive and beat me both times. It was obvious Barack was going to get to the top.
Bernard agreed, saying: Barack is going to win the election, definitely, and I want to be in the US for his inauguration.
He will be a breath of fresh air for the world.
97 is when Tiger started his career. BTW, the nice golf courses won't open their gates for me either.
