On Saturday, President Obama interrupted his busy schedule of playing pool, drinking beer and jumping lines at BBQ joints to play golf an exclusive private country club in Maryland with ESPN host Michael Wilbon. Not like he has anything else to do, right?
There’s nothing unusual about the president hitting the golf course – he’s done it at least a record-setting 177 times over his term. But it’s who he is playing golf with that’s interesting. As IJReview’s current Editor-at-Large Larry O’Connor reported for Breitbart in November 2013, Wilbon made the eyebrow-raising comment:
“People can be upset with me if they want, I, like a whole lot of people, use the N-word all day, every day, my whole life.”
Wilbon was explaining his thoughts on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” about this comment by LA Clippers player Matt Barnes, who is also black:
“I love my teammates like family, but I’m DONE standing up for these N—–s! All this s–t does is cost me money.”
While Michael Wilbon, Matt Barnes and every other black in America apparently have the right to use the N-word whenever and wherever, without repercussion, the question is this: Should the President of the United States hang out with those who not only use it freely, but champion its usage?
Should there be speech codes for one part of the population, but not for others? Or is this kind of language inherently inflammatory, and thus leads to a more divided country? Whatever the answer, it appears that the “post-racial president” narrative sold to the public was nothing more than a myth – as has been shown on numerous occasions.
(A couple of video's at site showing comments from Wilbon)
It’s really about Obama and Michelle and their “I hate whitey” campaign.
Working in the interest of the American people to make life
easier, safer and more prosperous with full god given freedom
is hard work.
However destroying all of that is easy, nothing to it, so
of course he has time to do what goofy people do best, goof off.
Must not have read this article:
“Holder sees “racial animus” in opposition”
177 times? That’s just over twice a week!
What kind of “leader” wastes 7 hours of potentially productive time on the links every week? Then there’s the disruption to the courses involved.
How self-centred can one be?
Geez he just never stops . . . never. And the media doesn’t care. Neither do the 47% and the Left.
One group has the freedom to use this now taboo word openly and freely.
Another group is prohibited from even thinking it, much less uttering it. Courts have determined it is a “fighting word” in the past, giving license to the offended party to physically assault those (of another race) who say it.
One set of rules for me, another for thee.
This is what equality looks like. Right?
We need a Constitutional Amendment that forbids the Chief Executive from playing golf while in office. (sarc/off)
Couldn’t we elect someone who plays chess?

Obama is flipping-off the citizens of The United States.
“Just try and make me work! Nyeah! Nyeah!”
This guy begged us for this job.....twice. Now, he’s just hanging on for the benefits.
Every Republican needs to bring a golf ball to every event where there is a camera. Don’t say a word. Just put the golf ball up on the podium where everyone can see it. Shame the worthless slug out of screwing the pooch so much. 177 golf days since he became President. Worthless slug.
Is Obama using the word “golf” as code for “marijuana”?
