Obama to Jordan: My Golf Game Isn't as Shitty as Your NBA Team

Last week, athlete-turned-golfer Michael Jordan impugned the ball-whacking abilities of the President of these United States, calling Barack Obama "a shitty golfer." And Jordan knows whereof he speaks: His handicap of 3 is much smaller and better than Obama's 17. Statistics!


Michael Jordan Says Obama Is "a Hack" and "a Shitty Golfer"
Michael Jordan, G.O.A.T., briefly considered President Barack Obama for his dream golf foursome,…

But just because Jordan is clearly the stronger golfer doesn't mean Obama will put up with being called "shitty" and "a hack."

"Michael wasn't very well informed about this, I think he might've just been trying to give Ahmad [Rashad] an extra ratings boost on his show," Obama told Wisconsin radio station Jammin' 98.3 on Monday.

"But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case," he added, before closing the topic with an ice-cold zinger.

"He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or the Hornets."

Jordan's Charlotte franchise is infamous for posting the worst record in NBA history, a feat so shameful they had to rebrand to wash the horrible taste of defeat out of their mouths.

This has been This Week in Grown Men Arguing About Golf. See you next time, because the hypercompetitive (some would say pathologically so) Jordan is unlikely to let this lie




Rack him

Really?

Obama is a nice guy BUT everytime he has an answer to every idiot who says something ignorant like that,he cheapens the office.

By God, Jim, I'll walk lock-step with that reply.

Sorry if that makes you want to rethink your take.

And to play Devil's advocate there are good sides to the President and politicians in general being more accessible

DT,
I'm glad to be on the right conversation for once. I'll sit down and wait for my concussion to heal.

Seriously,Jordan's creepy HOF speech made my already waning respect for him fall off the table. He's an a-hole off the court.

Being accessible? Fine. Preferred even.

Deigning to dignify some smarmy remark by someone of little political significance? Embarrassing. He shouldn't even think about wiping his ass with a picture of him, let alone get into some TMZ-level public "oh no he di-ent" slapfight with him like two hoes on Springer.

I don't think it is a big deal. He was asked a question in a radio interview.

He's going to be a GREAT former President.

An ice-cold zinger? That author has incredibly low standards. I have no problem with Obama taking shots at Jordan but at least be more clever than that.

Save the cheapening the office stuff. That ship sailed decades ago. If you're worried about embarrassing and tarnishing the office than you need to be talking about war, drone strikes, and domestic spying, not some insignificant TMZ story involving Michael Jordan.

You know what is embarassing? A current president appearing on a Wisconsin radio show. Talk about cheapening the office...

So, disdain for dissing Jordan as well as being mortified over what he's allowing and presiding over on a national level are mutually exclusive?

No, I didn't say that. It's just that I consider the former so insignificant in the so-called bigger picture that it seems even the most minor of outrage has to be somewhat feigned.

Is this from The Onion or something? Is it common for The President of the United States to give interviews on stations like "Jammin' 98.3"?

Is he going to be on Mancow next?

He's gonna call in and Ask Herb what to do in Iraq

I'm embarrassed that the diety known as M air J stooped enough to address the U.S. president.

At least he was only a candidate at that point. Before that the only comparison was George Schlatter suckering Nixon into saying "Sock It To Me?", or that time they thought Dwight was fucking an alpaca on the back lawn only to find out it was just Mamie in an afghan.

I have no problem separating my political opinion of the president and this. On more than one occasion he has shown to have a pulse and a personality.

Don't like his work, but found this hilarious.

Yeah, the same kind of "independents" that would be ridiculing the POTUS for a lack of stones if he simply let it slide.

It's always going to be "something"
