President Barack Obama played golf with Tiger Woods on Sunday, the White House confirmed.

Obama was spending the long President’s Day weekend at an exclusive golf club in Florida, where he hit the course with one of the sport’s biggest names.

A senior writer for Golf Digest first reported on Twitter that Obama was golfing with Woods.

“The president played golf today with [U.S. Trade Representative] Ron Kirk, [club and Houston Astros owner] Jim Crane and Tiger Woods,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest aid.

SamalianRoad pointed out the full article: “Obama golfed today with course owner Jim Crane, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, Chicago friend Eric Whitaker and businessmen Anthony Chase and Milton Carroll, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Obama also played “a few holes” with Tiger Woods’ former coach Butch Harmon, who designed the club’s instructional facility, Earnest said. ”

But I think there is a misprint. I believe it was supposed to say “Obama also played a few hoes with Tiger Woods former coach.” That would make more sense. And I think Michelle will have a few words with Barry when he gets home.

He just crossed off another item on his bucket list using American Tax dollars.
I think to make it fair and equal Tiger should play golf with anyone who wants and Ron Kirk should let all golfers play his course for free.

If the Joke isn’t on me, what’s the point? How do you not see you are either trolling really hard with yoursensei and wango or you really do have mental issues. I mean seriously is this what you do all day?

When Bush was President, the media bad-mouthed him so much about playing golf too often while the World was in turmoil, that he gave up playing golf.

The World is in more turmoil now, than ever in history. Why is Obama playing golf so often? He should be in the oval office doing his job.

I imagine Earl Woods is rolling over in his grave— His son playing with the Anti Military ‘n Chief Beghazi!

But…..Tiger gets a tiny gold star for tolerating 18 + holes with one of the most Gawd awful swings on the planet.

I am so happy our President can take time out of his busy day of NOT RUNNING OUR COUNTRY, to go golfing with Tiger Woods. I wonder how much he just took from my mouth to pay for his little venture. While I struggle to find full-time work, I am happy he has no cares in the world and his wife is tainting my state with her presence. I have never had any animosity towards anyone in my life until NOW. Whether it be a black king or a white king, I will not comply with anything Obama passes; law or not. I am sure I can approve it unconstitutional someway. I’d rather go to jail than bow to a king aka dictator.

Apparently it’s okay for a president to publicly socialize with a public outcast providing he’s one of his own peeps.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned . He blames that on the Christians…..Obama plays golf while the American capitalist system is destroyed. He blames everything on the Republicans in congress.

Wango- you’re confusing personalities. At least try to keep them in line. Right now you’re like Lu Kim from south park City Wok with all those personalities.

Whats really ironic is that a man who hates old rich white men spends so much time playing an old rich white mans sport. that this man who preaches environmental responsibility spends so much time on a golf course which is a prime example of environmental irresponsibility. I dont see how the people who support him dont see that he is just another hypocritical,crooked politician whose whole political platform is a bald faced lie and he is nothing but a fake and a charlatan who only cares to fatten his own pockets and become those he envies and demonizes. you can bet that Obama isnt out to change the rules at the country club so anyone can play golf,despite their income. He only wants to rub elbows with people with money.

I see our politicians are putting our tax dollars to use and being spent wisely on Obama’s golf Trip and Michelle’s Colorado Trip, while the people of this great nation struggle to buy a luxury such as toilet tissue.

Obama birdied while America crashed and burned. Meanwhile Tiger got a hole in one and one in a hole.

With the state of affairs this country is in, not only does the Son of a Biscuit need to refrain from spending our tax dollars for Air Force One, but his wife and himself, need to stay home (in the Whitehouse) and take care of business.
