WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama took his congressional outreach effort to the green on Monday, playing a round of golf with a bipartisan trio of senators.
Democrat Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado and Republican Sens. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Bob Corker of Tennessee joined Obama for a round at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base, where Obama frequently plays golf on weekends with aides and friends. Under overcast skies, the three chatted casually with Obama, wearing a windbreaker and baseball cap. They putted on the first green before leaving the view of reporters on a pair of golf carts.
The afternoon outing added a recreational twist to Obama's months-long effort to strengthen ties with lawmakers, hoping some quality face time now can lay the groundwork for compromise on pressing issues down the road.
"He's looking for partners anywhere he can find them including on the 8th hole," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

Drudge top center - Now comes plague.. (8-o)
Golf with a Treasonous murderer. How nice for them.
just picking up where he played last on 9/11
Can’t ever have to much reference to the F word. It shows how clever we are, Donchaknow?
round of golf == unrecorded meeting
And...usually an encounter with Reggie.
We’re told bribery isn’t what it used to be in DC.
The middle east is getting ready to explode and our Commander-in-Chief plays golf.
Golf has long been used by Presidents (and business)as a way to get people together, ostensibly for recreation but clearly a lot else goes on. Until Obama. He golfs all the time, but normally with the same people - his appeared to be recreation only (even with Tiger Woods - clearly no policy developments being considered by gaining Tiger’s insights). The fact that Zero went golfing with Senators could be viewed as him working - probably why he had no qualms about doing it during the workweek. Probably the closest this president will ever get to actually working (though we likely won’t be happy with his “work product”).

He went golfing to make it look like he’s not worried about Benghazi. Smoke and mirrors. The senators that accompanied him should be removed from office. They wanted to hit some balls so I say we hit them in theirs.
I’d really enjoy playing golf with a guy who supports infanticide. So many things to talk about.
“”He’s looking for partners anywhere he can find them including on the 8th hole,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney.”
ROFL ROFL Wow I can’t believe he said it like that. Would Larry Sinclair be consider the first hole?
WTF bump
Am I mistaken in thinking he has NO BUSINESS playing with the devil he's supposed to be investigating?
Why would anyone want to play anything with him? People in GA may not be that informed after all, but they voted twice for GA Jimmy for President.
Has TN ever had a good senator? I’m not sure.
Maybe Reggie Love is, uh, "gifted".
Fox News just reported that Saxby Chambliss hit a hole in one during his round with the bamster.
