ABC’s Jordyn Phelps reports:
President Obama may have a thing or two to learn from Tiger Woods’ golf game, according to an upcoming article in the January edition of Golf Digest.
But In light of the recent controversy surrounding Tiger Woods’ car crash, there are likely more ways in which the President may wish to distinguish himself from the golf star.
The article lists ten things that the President could learn from the ultra-successful golf star in improving his performance as president, and vice versa, from the perspective of several prominent writers and players.
The magazine cover is a photoshopped image of Tiger Woods in a caddy’s outfit posed behind President Obama as he judges a putt.
Golf Digest’s Steve Rusbin draws comparisons between the two prominent figures.
Both are at the top of their respective fields -- Obama is the leader of the country and Woods is arguably the best athlete of his era. Both are the world’s most “prominent, multiethnic, African-Americans.” And both have hired an “older guy with impulse-control issues” to serve as their right-hand men -- Obama with Vice President Joe Biden and Woods with caddy Steve Williams.

Golf Digest I think is Newhouse and Golf is Time Warner. Fairly liberal for golf magazines and they fawn over Tiger.

“Best Athlete of his era”? He plays Golf! Sometimes he loses to fat guys that smoke.

What can BHO learn from Tiger? How about “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.?” Michelle is more likely to use a rolling pin than a golf club, but you get the idea.

Tiger Woods is apparently a heterosexual.

Keep your golf clubs locked up where Michelle can't get at them.

Im think the ones advising Tiger and his wife should be Bubba and Hillary —they took a scandal and turned in into a 75% approval rating
