Background via Fox:

Pro golfer Paul Azinger thinks President Obama might be hitting the links a bit too hard.

The author, businessman and 12-time PGA Tour winner took to Twitter Thursday to zing the commander-in-chief over his frequent golf outings while on vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

"Facts: Potus has played more golf this month than I have: I have created more jobs this month than he has," Azinger wrote.

SNIP.

He’s a good one along with P Stewart & Couples. Now there are many good ones coming up. For me golf & college football.

Careful what you wish for.

When 0bama turns his gaze from the fairway to the economy, it will mean nothing but trouble.

Every time he tees up 10,000 jobs are saved. Play through Mr. Pres(id)ent! Hell, I think about 75% of the country would be willing to increase the deficit just to buy Kleig Lights, so he can play at night, too.

Is this the same ESPN who has a HUSSEIN WORSHIP SERVICE before every NCAA Tournament? The same ESPN who has HUSSEIN introduce Monday Night Football? That ESPN?

ESPN can suck it as far as I'm concerned.

“Hello, ESPN? This is Bill Daley calling. Can I speak to a supervisor?”

This is a network that asked every single Latino, female, and African American the question: "How great will it be for you when 0bama becomes president?" in 2008. This is the network that allowed its sportscasters, especially the crew on game day for college football, to insert a quick 0bama endorsement at every possible occasion during the last cycle, or a quick slam against McCain.

Now, suddenly they're thin-skinned about political commentary. Blankholes.

ESPN is where girlymen suffering from the Obama Tingle go to “work”.

“ESPN has ‘reminded” Azinger his venture into political punditry violates the company’s updated social network policy for on-air talent and reporters issued yesterday.”

So they issued the new rules yesterday after he said what he said?

We should all call ESPN and raise hell!!

I wonder which Obama’s minions called first - ESPN, to get them to change their policy in order to molly-coddle him, or Warren Buffett, to get him to invest in BOA and get a bunch of money which he will then use on a fundraiser for Obama?

Once you’ve threatened to destroy any media company which reports that you are a forging, justice-obstructing, perjuring enemy combatant who got into office through mafia-type crimes (and the media companies pass the threat on to their personnel in the form of threats on their careers, lives, and families...) ... it’s a piece of cake to tell everybody to bow down to you and give you all their money.

To which I say/sing one thing: “Not gonna bow to your idol. We won’t bow (oh, no!). Not gonna bow to your idol. We won’t bow down no more!”

These people must think we are blind, deaf, and stupid. Now ESPN is easily identifiable as part of the cabal that is destroying America. Part of the Thought Police.

I wonder why they thought that those facts were political commentary. Facts are facts. In the last month Obama golfed more than Azinger and Azinger created more jobs than Obama. Them’s the facts.

I guess some facts are more equal than others now.
