The Duffer-in-Chief's Dilemma

As President Barack Obama stares out from the tee box on Saturday morning, several things are likely to run through his mind. Relax...Keep your head down...Nice, easy swing...Don't let Boehner win.

Assuming he can accomplish the first three, what to do about the fourth...

The White House won't say much about the highly anticipated golf match-up this weekend between the president and Speaker of the House John Boehner. How the game is played on Saturday and, perhaps more importantly, how it's characterized later may say a great deal about the spending debate that lies ahead.

We know that Vice President Joe Biden and Repblican Ohio Governor John Kasich will round out the bipartisan foursome, and all are said to take the game seriously with varying degrees of success. Golf Digest ranked 150 of the politically powerful golfers in Washington and that's where the disparities emerge.

Mr. Obama, at 108, isn't particularly good, but for a recent convert to the game, he's not terrible either. He manages to squeeze in a round most weekends, his motorcade snarling traffic on his way to courses at either Andrews Air Force Base or Fort Belvoir. Boehner, though, must be smacking his lips. He approaches the game with a religious fervor, and while his swing is said to be painfully awkward it serves him well, earning him a ranking of 43. Boehner even slyly suggested spotting the president strokes at a steep price: a trillion dollars apiece in deficit reduction. Biden, though, is thought to be even better. Golf Digest puts him at 29. If, as expected, Obama/Biden take on Boehner/Kasich, team GOP should have the edge.

Maybe bi-partisanship isn't dead, you just have to find it on the golf course?

I read it as Boenher spends a lot of time on the course practicing and Obama is in the office working.

Maybe Bohner is just naturally more athletic

If someone rides in a cart drinking beer and smoking cigars, I tend to call it an "activity" not an "Athletic endeavor"

Kinda like fishing.

There is certainly an athletic element to playing the game well

Kinda like an 80 foot cast with a #24 Blue Wing Olive to exactly 3' upstream of a rising trout.

Skill yes, Athleticism, not so much.

Yes, I've golfed.

This is awkward.....I find myself agreeing with sanity(yes ,I know..it makes me feel downright dirty) golf is definitely an athletic activity....the swing takes a certain amount of athletic skill and the ability to have actual pace throughout the swing while your weight shifts from front to rear.
As proof of that assertion I would invite anyone to view an unathletic person try to swing at....and actually hit(I will consider straightness a bonus) a golf ball.

Maybe Boehner should have a go at basketball to see what athletic is

Theres only one use for a golf course
I find watching paint dry to be more compelling than golf
If youve ever heard of moor park golf course, I used to go there with my boss on a weekend. At that time it was ONLY the rich good ol boys playing.
Ive had more fun giving birth.
