Welcome to the rest of your life, Tiger.

Oh I see why they made the comparison, because they're both half black.
Keep the golf clubs away from Obama, he may be chasing after Golf Digest's editors.

Joe Queenan argues that Obama could benefit most from a Woods-like agility with image control.

Wow...bad timing...on a second note, the picture on the cover is begging to be shopped.

I wonder if they'll try to pull it from circulation.. would be awesome. Those things would end up being worth a mint.

They'll just change it to 10 Tips Tiger Can Take from Bill Clinton and Vice Versa.

"10 Tips Tiger Can Take From Steve McNair" would be more appropriate.

Now that is just some shiatty timing.

#1: Don't call meetings with the police at an explicit time and CANCEL it. FFS. Go or don't go, you don't say yes then cancel.

If it comes out that Obama has been banging Michaele Salahi for the past 31 months, I give up.

/if he has been banging Kate Gossalyn, then Michelle should be the new Dr Mrs Girlfriend

Now this is going to go down in history as one of the WORST cases of bad timing.

(1) keep your elbows IN while bowing to world leaders

(2) replace divots in american foreign policy

(3) wear standard golf attire (not every ridiculous outfit possible)

(4) keep air force one on the cart path

(5) keep your eyes on the treasury until you have completed spending all the money we don't have

So it isn't just me who thinks that this is just a LITTLE racist? What the hell do Tiger and Obama have in common, besides skin color?

It's kind of like, "Here's what the black man in a white-dominated world needs to do."

And when you say it 8 times in a row, it's the stupidest word in English--golfgolfgolfgolfgolfgolf. Now say it with a black accent. Like Tiger does.

why? - he never should have told them he'd meet them in the first place.

It's different because Tiger is half chink, which means he's partly devious and inscrutable, whereas Obama is half cracker, which means he's partly warlike and arrogant.

Ever read the Golf Digest forums? 9/10 of them watch FoxNews and think we found an active WMD program in Iraq. They really are poorly informed and have poor memories too.

It's like Business Week readers. They forget that the guy in prison this year for stock fraud is the same guy Business Week had on the cover last year as the Smartest Investor in America.

Golf Digest readers will forget this cover in a week.

If you think the political discussions in the Golf Digest forums (fora?) are bad, I should warn you that I got some patently shiatty advice on my short game over at DailyKOS.

I get a free subscription to Golf Digest for being a member of my state's golf association.

That magazine honestly makes me embarrassed to be a golfer and a man.

What do you expect from those that think a single-payer "public club" is the solution to every potential shot around the green? And want to put a tax on any other wedges you might carry?

/3 wedges in my bag. And Mrs. Pandabear hasn't swung any of them at me. Yet.

Yeah, but I don't think they're being racist here. Number one rule of Golf Digest: relate it to Tiger. Add that to the fact that the President is an avid golfer and that the two are friends and you've got all the pieces needed for an insipid article written by someone massively underqualified to write what might have been a funny story.

Sorry, but something's wrong if you're reading Golf Digest for political views. I read it for help with my short game.

The obama curse? he goes on letterman and boom letterman is in a blackmail/sex scandal. he poses with Tiger on a magazine cover and boom domestic abuse/sex scandal. The guy has bad karma.

Exactly. What they should have done was compare Obama to a white golfer.

Because then it wouldn't be racist.

All in All, I'd prefer Tiger to be president and Obama the golfer.
