Critics charge that OBAMA’s addiction to putting has sapped his potency as leader of the free world.
Gawker.com laments that Obama fooled everyone with his “everyman” act - comic book fan boy, b-ball enthusiast, Blackberry obsession and closet cigarette smoker, hinting that his devotion to the 18-hole “lazy man” game is the real culprit.
Of course, they’re riffing on a Washington Post column by Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Alden write that Obama used to play basketball at least once a week with his former BFF bodyguard and Duke player Reggie Love and former Harvard B-baller the 6 ft. 5 inch Education Secretary Arne Duncan in street-style pickup games.
Now, Alden charges, Obama plays a lazy man’s game – golf.
