President Barack Obama isn’t taking basketball icon Michael Jordan’s golf diss lying down.
Jordan said in an interview last month that he would play a round of golf with the President, but then quickly took it back because he said Obama would be too slow.
“I never said he wasn’t a great politician, I’m just saying he’s a sh*tty golfer,” Jordan told sportscaster Ahmad Rashad.
“Mike and I, we know each other but I’ve never played golf with him,” Obama said in a Tuesday interview with Milwaukee radio station WJMR.
“But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am,” he added. “Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.”
Obama then slipped in a dig at Jordan’s NBA team.
“You know he might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or maybe the Hornets, but that’s another issue.”
Under Jordan’s ownership, the struggling basketball franchise based in Charlotte, N.C. had been known as the Bobcats. After it was knocked out of the first round of NBA playoffs earlier this year, the team officially changed its name back to the franchise’s original moniker, the Hornets.
Zing.
I think and hope our President will have a very happy life after he leaves Washington. He sure as hell deserves it.
“President Barack Obama isn’t taking basketball icon Michael Jordan’s golf diss lying down.”
I wish the democrats wouldn’t take republican obstruction, bad legislation, and general idiocy lying down.
But they don’t listen to me.
Imagine what democrats could’ve done if they had a spine.
But one thing that was done I will be eternally grateful for…and that is the Affordable Health Care Act. Now I can still have insurance even though I am a cancer survivor. Sen. Cruz still wants to take that from me. I hope he is unemployed some day.
Slow news day.
