VANITY. Big error for Repulican leaders to golf with Obama. Highlighting Obama out golfing shows in a visual way that he's detached, aloof, elite, mote concerned about retirement and games, not focused on the economy, and out of touch.
Golf is still mostly a rich male sport. Working class people can't afford clubs, memberships, fees, ad lessons.
An ideal attack ad from Repubs could have highlighted all this. Not quite Dukakis driving the tank, but similar.
Voice over shots of Zero golfing:
Worst chronic unemplyment since the Great Depression.
Largest drop in house values in American history...
Republicans joining Obama makes it clear the ruling class from BOTH sides are out of touch. A mistake.
Why do you think the GOP is called “the stupid party?”
All that plus I’ll bet he expects mulligans for everything.
Any attack ads should also highlight Obama’s lack of understanding of what families face.
Go sell that 8 mile an hour SUV.
ATMs slowed our recovery.
Paint him as detached, uncaring, egg head better suited to teach somewhere or more likely golf than lead in a time of crisis.
Unlike Clinton’s effective sales pitch (a lie, of course), Obama does not feel our pain.
Obama would rather be drawing pension and raking in the big money. Speeches. Ghostwritten books. On “green” boards of directors. He’ll rack up. Similar to Carter. By the end of four years, he wanted to go.
Take a major Republican stumble to not win next time.
“Sorry, but my wife says that I have to stay home to mow the lawn, and paint the porch.”
Not to mention all those teleprompters get in the way of their drives.
Do not golf with Zero! That image will be used on every newscast, newspaper and magazine covering his sorry a?? for being too busy playing golf to work on the "great unwashed"'s problems.
“I agree 100%.

I also agree 100%!! Nothing good can come of it. It is stupid! Boehner is an idiot!
One more thing. If BooHoo Boehner plays golf with Uh-Bama I think I will cry! What a disgrace this government is!
Only real leaders with balls of steel like Bibi Netanyahu should meet with Obama, and only when they have a chance to publicly slap him down like Bibi did, to join the “Knockout Club”, so to speak.
It also makes critisizing Obama for golfing a little difficult, when we’re right out there on the course with him.
Obama already had a photo op with Jeb former gov of Florida. Now Kassick Gov. of Ohio. He will use these come election time.
If you golf with him you're enabling the neglect of his children.
Stupid stupid move. This country is in a crisis and these bozos are going golfing? Guess the Rinos will be giving their “stamp of approval” on the Idiot-in-Chief’s obsession with golf. The whole idea makes me sick.
The smartest move right now would be to CANCEL THE FREAKING GOLF DATE.
I’m sure God thinks this is a stupid move also and I’m hoping he will sent a typhoon to wash this golf date out!
