John Boehner disses Obama's golf game on Fox News

[IDemo]

House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio says he’s willing to play golf with President Obama. Any course, anytime, anywhere, presumably. Now that’s bipartisan outreach.

The offer came with a diss, though. Mr. Boehner implied that his own skill with clubs is superior to that of the nation’s chief executive, and that he’ll have to allow Mr. Obama a handicap.

“I’m sure I’ll have to give him strokes,” said Boehner on Fox News Sunday.

Of course, Boehner is right about this. He plays golf a lot – has for years. He hit the links some 120 times last year. His own handicap bounces between a 5 and an 8, depending on who you talk to. That’s pretty good.

1. He's also a level 188 in Farmville...

I'll bet teh president cannot possibly beat that.

:crazy:

[DCKit]

3. Farmville? What kind of drinking game is that? nt

[Mz Pip]

2. Boehner

practically lives on the golf course. Obama has a real job with little free time to hone his golfing skils.

[KansDem]

4. Give him a break, John...

...the President doesn't have the time to put in 119 rounds of golf a year, so he's out of practice.

CINCINNATI -- A billboard along Interstate 75 is getting a lot of attention for attacking House Minority Leader John Boehner.The billboard asks the question, "When was the last time you golfed 119 times in one year?"

5. Fair is Fair. Obama should play a round of golf with Boehner. And then

Boehner should play a game of one on one basketball with Obama. Obama can spot him some points.

[RamboLiberal]

20. Oh yeah, Obama would kick his butt in basketball

And please Mr. President, how about some sharp elbows!

[obxhead]

6. How about a game of basketball Boehner?

Or is there not enough drinking involved with that sport for you?

[Erose999]

8. He's so orange he might get mistaken for the ball.

[IDemo]

9. I was thinking boxing or a cage match

[Erose999]

12. Steel cage match. I'll bring the thumbtacks and barbed wire!!

Either way a corporatist shill will receive an asswhoopin'. So everybody wins!

[NYC Liberal]

7. So Boehner turned down Obama's invitations to the Tuscon memorial and the

state dinner, but he'll play golf?

[Barack_America]

14. A man has to have his priorities.

Boehner's committed to his "GTL"--Golf, Tan, Lying

[NYC Liberal]

21. You forgot drinking.

;)

[Botany]

10. If Obama would spend 1 week working on golf he would kick Boner's orange

.... ass all over the track. But you see the President has other things to do and did
not spend $83,000 on golf fees in 2009 which is what Boner did .... and those were not
the local muny courses but Pebble Beach, Muirfield (Dublin Ohio), and other high rent
tracks.



BTW as noted up thread Boner can't make a state dinner w/ the President of China
& memorial service for those killed and hurt in Tucson but he has time for the President
to play some golf with him?

[Erose999]

11. Agen Orange is so good at golf because of his desire to get to the 19th hole...

You don't want to get between a hardcore drunkard like Agent Orange and his next drink....

[Paper Roses]

13. We're going to hell in a hand basket and Boehner is talking about golf?

Politics is real life, golf is a game. Get a grip Boehner. The mess we are in is real life.
You, sir are a waste of time. Do something positive for the country. A par does not cut it.

[Desertrose]

15. My thoughts exactly. Golf game? Who freaking cares!!! nt

[badtoworse]

16. Does anyone know Obama's handicap? - nt

[truebrit71]

17. Yeah - He's too centrist

..no idea about his golf game though...:evilgrin:

[Spirochete]

18. You think he cries a lot in Congress

wait till he loses a game of golf...

[maxrandb]

19. Obama might have a problem

No matter how well he strikes the ball, Democrats complain that the lie is either too far left, or too far right.

[hootinholler]

22. Well too far left or right

Lands in the rough.

[hootinholler]

23. There's a truism on the golf course

Never bet with someone who's tan is darker than yours.

102 rounds last year? When did he have time to do the people's business?
