Barack Obama’s golf swing reveals he’s an athlete, a duffer and fun to play with By Michael Bamberger Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated Published: December 24, 2008 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. John F. Kennedy nearly made a hole-in-one on the short par-3 15th at Cypress Point (the best-smelling hole in all of golf, if you like the mix of eucalyptus and brackish ocean water) while running for the presidency in 1960. Kennedy, considered by presidential golfing historians to be by far the most skilled of our golf-playing presidents, was relieved to see the ball stay out. He was trying to succeed Dwight Eisenhower as president, and not as First Golfer. The game then wasn’t the populist activity it has become. Kennedy, foolishly, allowed himself to be photographed taking a golf swing in fancy loafers, no socks. Still, he won West Virginia. But Obama does not have to run from his golf. The guess here is that he’s an athlete and a duffer and fun to play with. In Photo No. 1, the first thing that strikes you is that Obama is a lefthanded golfer who plays golf wearing a watch, just like Phil Mickelson. Also like Lefty, the future president …

He swings like a righty trying to swing lefty. Totally unnatural. I thought he’d have a better swing by now, with all these golf outings.
@BestPoliticalVideos ha you guys are so clever, except your job is to upload videos on youtube… i bet your parents are real proud
I did forget that! I also forgot to mention the 13 countries that offered to help, that O-Bummer turned down in the very first week, and still hasn’t accepted help from even though he claims this is on the scale of 9/11. But, hey, he needs to work on his back-swing and follow-thru, right? Get your priorities straight
I’m a dog and I swing better than that!
Give it up..your lifting up with your follow through.

You didn’t mention all the Democrat fund raisers O-Bummer flew off to while the Gulf has been oil slimed.
According to the emergency oil spill plan, last modified in 1994 , O-Bummer should have immediately declared a Gulf disaster & dispatched govt & private vessels, to gather & burn all the oil far out at sea.
Texas/Louisiana has tens of thousands of shrimp boats with side booms, winches & crews used to rough seas, that are perfect for the job!
But, O-Bummer played around?!
