Obama out of bounds

Sat., Jan. 3, 2015

I was in shock the other day when I read that President Obama forced a couple, on the most special day of their lives, to relocate their wedding ceremony on short notice so that he could play golf.

Now I am a golf fanatic, but let’s consider his options:

1. Delay your tee time until the wedding is over.

2. Use your executive power to take over another golf course.

3. Play the front nine twice so as not to endanger the wedding party with your errant shots.

4. Take the bipartisan stance (step across the aisle) and cancel your game. Join Michelle, the girls and the family dog on a shopping trip for the day.

This was a selfish act on the part of the president and should cost him at the least five points in the popularity polls.
