Jordan: Obama's a 's----y golfer' |
2014-11-06 |
![]() 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. |
