G8: Obama interested in Huntsville’s golf courses: Clement

When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.

“I told him, ‘We would really recommend and love it if you could come back here with Michelle and the kids at some point — we think you’d really love it here,’” Minister Clement said on the sidewalk of Huntsville’s Main Street, in his home riding. “I think I’ve planted a seed in the President’s mind.”

Obama: He’s not much, but he’s all he thinks about.

I wish the military would do something with this enemy of the constitution.

I was hoping this was a joke..

Needs a fly on his nose...

I honestly believed that this was satire until I went to the link.

Seriously, I’m beginning to wonder what’s in those holes on the golf courses. What actually HAPPENS out there? Aren’t the courses closed to onlookers when he goes? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

If Obama wanted to enjoy a REALLY nice golf course, he would try out Hilton Head, SC — Clinton loved it there!

Clinton landed at MCAS, Beaufort, SC a few times and I must say, he was great with the children of the troops—like him or not.

I think Obama doesn’t like much that’s from the South.

He’s missing out on the Penn Center and Gantt Cottage (it was good enough for MLK)... makes Obama seem pretty white, eh?

I thought he meant Huntsville, AL, as we have some world class courses, all owned by State Employees. As a retired state employee and an "owner", I do not want the big zero playing on "MY" courses.

0 playing a lot of golf since the oil spill.

I heard the one was pretty disappointed when he found out the g in g8 didn’t stand for golf

[Nepeta]

What actually HAPPENS out there?

Maybe this is where he gets his drugs. With Obama, anything is possibly real.

When one of our enemies decides to strike they choose a time when the O-man is on the links.

Can we get a mulligan?

"When one of our enemies decides to strike they choose a time when the O-man is on the links.

What difference would it make? He would be just as useless in the oval office or a secure command center as he would be on the golf course or in a drug induced coma.

Pray for a lightning strike. I know I shouldn’t but a heat stroke is not enough. May God forgive me for thinking this, but it is for the good of the country.

Maybe, he spends so much time golfing, looking for the “missing link”, not realizing that it is his wife.
