ole Gen'l IKE used to golf to alleviate the stress of his job in the 1950s!
Barack Obama is now inside a similar level of job stress but has a much
healthier body than IKE or JFK did during their presidencies. so if we all
pull back from being judgemental about Rand Paul letting a boozy crew
of celebrating people INTO a sorta snobbish local KY country club and
allow the very fact that DEMOCRATs also play golf, then we all see our
POTUS totally vindicates the TIGER WOODs statement Rand recently made.

AULD REPUBLICANs AROUND WILLIAM McKINLEY WERE ONCE GOOD OR EXCELLENT GOLFERS...
After GEN"L IKE, the sport went sorta DEMOCRAT, too! RAND PAUL is correct if he namedrops
TIGER WOODs! presidents who are not polio victims often golf due to the pressures of the job.
evidently our own "greater unwashed" did not trash the local country-club. they had a grand time...

Msdoodahs...

vice president richard milhous nixon actually brilliantly ran the country in 1957 for IKE in few weeks.
ole IKE would go to his farm in gettysburg to totally relax and play golf. veep joe biden is like nixon.
fortunately we have a VERY healthy potus, and we maybe will not see our veep joe biden handling
more than he already does. barack obama KNOWs how much publicity the press corp gave IKE as
they speculated on how healthy the old general was between holes. golf is a metaphor for power.
TIGER WOODs drew the WORLD into golf when he was having his good days and able to put well!!!

The president golfed Saturday with football Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Trump later tweeted about the Mississippi native’s influence in election battleground states Wisconsin and Minnesota, where he played for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
Favre also played for Woody Johnson’s New York Jets. Johnson, the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, tried to persuade officials there to move the British Open to Trump’s Turnberry course in Scotland, according to the New York Times. Trump has denied the report.

Donald Trump prompted a familiar barrage of criticism on Saturday by visiting one of his own golf clubs as the country remains caught in numerous intensifying crises, from the raging coronavirus epidemic to anti-racism protests to the failure to extend benefits to tens of millions of jobless Americans.

Trump arrived at his Virginia golf club in the morning, according to a report from the White House pool, after leaving Washington via motorcade and dressed in his usual golfing attire of a baseball cap and a polo shirt.

CNN, which tallies Trump trips to his golf clubs, reported
