| Champ admits golfing cock up following Folley beheading. |
| 2014-09-08 |
| [Daily Caller] President Obama admitted on Sunday that he "should've anticipated the optics" of golfing just minutes after a sober statement on the brutal beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS, noting that "part of this job is also the theater of it." Showing respect would have amounted to theater? Well in that case, thanks for being honest. Obama sat down Sunday with NBC's new "Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging interview that touched on immigration, ISIS and other White House challenges. But Todd made sure to ask about that golf game, a moment that even supporters of the president admitted made him look tone deaf and disengaged. Sorry, no picking this one up from the clean end. It's not simply the look, it's reality. |

| #12 He called a Foley on the dawg leg12th and played from the neck. Then declared Body Line and went home victorious with the skate of honor. |

| #11 He's just running out the clock [attempting to not do stupid shi*]. Don't look for any aggressive passing game. Unfortunately, this strategy appears to have begun at the beginning of his second term. |

| #7 He is only saying this because people complained and ruined his golf fun. |
