House Speaker John Boehner has broken into one of the most exclusive groups in Washington — the small circle of old friends and administration officials President Barack Obama has invited for a round of golf.

Boehner, who sports a fairway tan and an 8 handicap, will tee off with Obama June 18 — marking one of the only times the leader of the free world will have played with a Republican or a fellow elected official and the first time he will have played with a sitting member of Congress.

The American tax payer is cutting back, down to the bare bones..... No jobs and no hope for jobs, no hope of financial improvement... people are losing their homes,and savings.... More people on food stamps than at anytime in history.... Crime is at an all time high.... Our sons and daughters are dying horrible deaths in 3 different wars....
AND THESE A-HOLES WANT TO PLAY A FEW ROUNDS OF GOLF!

One can only hope they´ll beat the crap out of each other.

Elections have consequences, eh?

[SMARTY]

There’s no way to record what is said on the course. Bet “O” planned it this way to threaten Boehner, out of hearing of anyone else.

If Whiner is an 8 GHIN I eat my USGA card. Obozo probably has no GHIN but I would easily put it at 25-30 (which by the way is impossible under Equitable Stroke!)

I can hear it now: SS man. "Sir, I have you down for a 14 on the last hole."

Obozo: "Your fired! And it was a birdie 4!"

Which one is the devil?

The USGA uses a GHIN. Golf Handicap Index Number. They are displayed in tenths. However, using the USGA Equitable Scoring method one can 'limit' one's exposure on any given hole depending on one's handicap.

Just a guess but I would say, having seen Obozo swing on TV a few times, that on a Par 72 tournament course running a minimum of 6,800 yards from the White tees, I would expect him to score a gross of 100 +. Boehner's NO 8 either. You can't be an 8 and play once every month. Not at his age. Figures lie, and liars figure!

“The USGA uses a GHIN.”

That’s much deeper into it than I care to contemplate. Most golfers lie about their handicap, kind of like women lying about their age.

A recent issue of Golf Digest had the 150 best golfers in Washington. Boehner was listed fairly high up the list and as an 8. Where did the number come from? Who knows? Was it indexed for course difficulty? I doubt it.

I’m with you. Having seen Obama’s swing, it’s easy to believe he is a 20+ handicapper.

[KC Burke]

Yeah, but Barry has a killer foot wedge.

Bonehead just does NOT get it! Right now that weepy azzkisser is all we have to stave off the democrat onslaught,Maybe this Idiot thinks it is some kind of a Joke ,He needs to go now!

An investment banker family friend once remarked that the biggest deals in the world are made out on the golf course.

If this is true, it would confirm what we already guess to be true about Boehner.

I thought ocraphead made his deals over beer. He’s not smart enough to make a deal on the golf course - he’s too busy looking for his balls in the woods.

In my multi-union HR job in industrial construction years back, the various business agents played a LOT of golf with the project HR manager. I trusted neither.
