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

Posted By lovemylibs 11 months, 3 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.

      The pos was for oldtimes sake.
      From my perspective the slice is falling to the right.
      But then again: everything I know about golf came from the Clampetts.

        Maybe it will be one right down the middle. If a lefty hits it right, he's a hooker.

        I was really just trying to see how many people I could get pos's from for calling Mr. Obama a lefty hack.

    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.

          They just don't make them like that anymore. It makes me long for a 'possum stew meal served at the fancy eatin' table.

            Too bad I could not get the link to work:
            "He also tests Jethro’s arm, but learns that he can only throw a ball that has been smeared with possum fat, which disappointments him. Elly tells him she can throw a ball just as well as Jethro without possum fat and proves it by throwing the ball so hard that it knocks Durocher in the pool."
            Cement pond.
            while granny cooks up the golf eggs.
            The spiked shoes and dodger thing!
            My favorite episode!
            Thanks for the boxing day present!

          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.
