Obama May Grace Boehner With His Presence on the Golf Course…

Lucky him.

(The Hill)- President Obama is willing to play golf with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to help improve their relationship, a top White House adviser said Saturday.

Outgoing White House senior adviser David Axelrod said that the chances are “good” that Obama and the newly-installed GOP Speaker would hit the links together.

“He understands that there are – there wouldn’t be two parties if we didn’t have differences … But he’s always believed that, even if you disagree on most things, you ought to work together on the things you can,” Axelrod said on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital” in an episode airing over the weekend.

“And you can’t do that unless you develop a relationship of trust and cooperation, and he’s willing to do that, even to the point that he’d play golf with a guy who has a much lower handicap than he does,” Axelrod added.

Obama’s been an active golfer since becoming president, and Boehner’s known to enjoy some time on the course, where he’s reputed to have a relatively low handicap.

    UGH

  4. realwest says:

    I certainly wish Obama would spend LOTS more time on the Golf Course and less time on “governing”. Boehner, however, is NEEDED in the Capitol.
    You know, we do need ADULTS in the Captiol; let the children go play golf.

    Also, to Col. Campbell: “Also: “I hear it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm, in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hiri-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!” Uh, I don’t know what it is you’re smoking, drinking or whatever, but maybe you should give it a break for a while. Just sayin……………

    it is easier to offer bribes on the golf course

    Mr. Boehner:

    If you had any clue about how we feel at this very moment about the status of our country and the immediate peril we feel you would be best served to say: “Thank you for the invite but ( we) can use the peoples time more constructively”. There will be time for golf and triple bogies when we have a clear and distinct grasp of the current events…the time is not now.

    Besides, Obamas’ (foot wedge) will ensure he always get a good “lie” on the golf course- speaking to the American people… his mouth does all the time ( lie)
    His pencil has an eraser on it, so you will always loose…even if you win

    Let me see if I have this right: When the Dems controlled the House, it was
    “you lost, we won, we get whatever we want”. When the Repubs control the
    House it’s “make nice, we’re all friends here, we can both get what we need.”
    Bull**it.

    Mr. Boehner, if you insist on being used by the Dems and accept this invitation,
    the only thing I might suggest is don’t bend over to pick up your ball anywhere
    near the President.

    “Work together on the things you can”
    Deconstruct O-Care? Sure!
    REAL spending cuts? You bet!
    Real reductions in the SIZE of the Fed? More, please!
    You want to work w/ us on this stuff, GREAT!

    Otherwise, Get Bent!

  9. Tank says:

    How about these mofo’s get back to working the jobs we hired them for?

  10. Nothing up my sleeve says:

    Impeachment starts in the House…sure we can work together on that.

  11. bigjimroad says:

    My wish is that Obama would just stay on the golf course.

  12. post*tenebras*lux says:

    WTF? Egypt burns, BowBow plays golf?

  13. bruxklly says:

    Obama’s 14th club is an eraser. I wouldn’t play golf with this puke is we were comp’d at Augusta National. Note: Augusta National would not allow him on the course anyway. Unless it was to serve drinks or mow the fairways.

  14. John C says:

    Maybe Boehner will get lucky…a bad shot bounces off a rock and gets Odammit in the lip, requiring stitches.

  15. lucky toad says:

    The sadest part of this article is that Axelrod is being shown the door out of Oflapper dappers administration thru the Beuro of Golf.

  16. So What says:

    What is Obama going to do? Caddy?

  17. Maggie says:

    Yeah … John, tell Obama to leave the car battery and cables, and waterboard home, huh.

    We really don’t need you knocked down over to his side of that fence you’re occassionally climbing up on.

  18. whthfk says:

    Makes me think obama wants to make some threats and not be overheard by staff at the White House or Congress.

  19. Iron Maiden says:

    We need to write Boehner’s office en masse (that’s Spanish for ‘a lot of us’, or something) and tell them to cut the crap with the heartwarming get-along story du jour (that’s Spanish for ‘of the day’, or something) and tell them to keep Boehner OFF the fricking golf course. Obama is only trying to lure him there so the Libs can roast us when we point out Obama’s RECORD BREAKING number of times a President has hit the links – and this with the worst economy in decades.

    Oh, good … For a minute there I thought you were talking about heading to church. I’d have to hit the confessional first … been a ‘spell’.

  21. Sickofobama says:

    Obama will hate Boehner even more when he gets his ass kicked by an almost scratch golfer.

  22. Junius says:

    Don’t be a fool Boehner and join this Marxist tool on the golf course, besides you ain’t got time to be screwing around you have a lot of work to do reversing the damage our america hating president has done to this country.

    Don’t do it. You don’t make nice with your enemies!

  23. serfer62 says:

    Rep Boehner has done a fine job with the house so far. I will have even more confidense if he has something else to do then play…

  24. Cary says:

    NoBama was obsessed with golfing when he was in the Illinois Senate — it was rumored his no-shows were in preference to the golf course.

    His obession was written about in Illinois papers — before becoming his stenographers.

  25. klr-dude says:

    this is where tricky dicky went wrong .
    should have kept it in the open,….. where there is no microphones !

  26. Bunker says:

    Boehner will finish the game and leave Obama still puttering around the 5th hole.

  27. barbedwhyer says:

    If my son looked like that I’d shoot him.

    “Obama’s been an active golfer since becoming president”. Lol that one made me laugh. More like ” Obama’s been pretending to be president since being elected Golfer”

  30. Econlady says:

    I really believe that Obama is bi-sexual. More gay than bi.
