Barack Obama's golf swing reveals he's an athlete, a duffer and fun to play with »

Posted By lovemylibs 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Sports

Golf.com has performed an important service. It has posted five photographs, taken by AP photographer Gerald Herbert, that shows President-elect Barack Obama on vacation in Hawaii playing golf . This is invaluable as we all know that nothing, not even a CNN special called "Obama Revealed," reveals the soul as ruthlessly and efficiently as how one plays the old Scottish game.

    A careful analysis of Mr. Obama's golf swing, in pictures, shows that he is probably just another lefty hack.

    He stands a bit too close to the ball, dips his shoulder and lays the club off at the top of his swing. The resulting shot will usually be fat and sliced to the left.

    Well: I would have to admit, I would be even more disappointed, if a bunch more “vacation” pictures come out after he takes office.
    The big dude I picture #2 sure looks lumpy.
    Come to think of it: so does the dude with the sunglasses.
    They look ready to catch some golf shoes.
    Hmm…pic#3 looks like Obama is still carrying his crackberry.

    Obama has got to be the wimpiest athlete ever! Plus he's a confessed drug user and a cigarette smoker, I guess the meaning of ATHLETE is different in todays liberal America.

    Hey Obama, you left your pot pipe and pack of cigarettes back at hole #9
    Wow, what an Athlete. Give me a break, he's no athlete.

    Maybe the only thing worse than a left-handed golfer is a red-headed left-handed golfer. At least Prez-to-be O isn't one of these.

    There's no sin in being a bad golfer; lots of people are. As long as you don't take yourself too seriously.
