Jordan: Obama's a 's----y golfer'
2014-11-06
President Obama is an avowed fan of the Chicago Bulls, but their most famous player ever probably won't be invited out to the links with the commander in chief any time soon.

Michael Jordan is calling the commander in chief a "shitty golfer."

In an interview for the Back 9 Network, Ahmad Rashad -- who's teed off with Obama on more than one occasion -- asks Jordan who he would play in his ideal golf foursome.

"I've never played with Obama, but I would," the basketball Hall of Famer says before quickly appearing to change his mind. "But nah, that's okay. I'll take him out. He's a hack. Man, I'd be all day playing with him."

"Do you really want to say that?," Rashad replies, looking into the camera recording the sit-down. "The president of the United States is a hack?"

"Don't worry about it," Jordan says, in the playful conversation. "I never said he's wasn't a great politician, I just said he's a shitty golfer."
I don't think you ever said he was a great politician, either.
Rashad quickly comes to the defense of Obama's putting prowess: "No, he's not a bad golfer."

Obama, an avid golfer, has often been a favorite target of critics for his affinity for picking up his clubs. Earlier this month, CBS News noted that he had reached a golfing milestone, having played 200 rounds since becoming president in 2009.

#6  This just in Michael Jordan clarifies his comment: Obama's a 's----y golfer'

He issued this statement late this afternoon

"I was misquoted in my characterization of His Highness, President Barack Hussein Obamas' ability at playing golf. What I said and related was our experience recently in playing golf.

His Highness, President Barack Hussein Obama and I were playing at new course and he was having a very bad day.

He was on the 18th hole, and he saw a lake.

He said to me "I think I'm going to go drown myself in that lake".

And I said "I don't think you can, you can't keep your head down that long."


Now, I know the media and they misquoted me, I further said - "Your Highness, if you do manage to do this, your tombstone might be inscribed," Here, Lies HRH President BHO, The Shittist Golfer who ever lived."

#5  I'm in favor of him spending 24/7 on the green concentrating on golf. We'll all be better off that way.

#3  Baseball, bowling, basketball - those sports are damn difficult. But golf, piece of carrot for el prez.

Watched the interview. Seemed like Jordan was just having some fun until Rashad got all serious.

That is the equivalent of declaring war on him.
