President Obama Weighs in On Tiger Woods' Return

By Bryan Alexander Posted Mar 17th 2010 09:20PM

Health care reform wasn't the only thing on the mind of Fox News during its exclusive interview with President Obama.

Following the grilling, newscaster Bret Baier found time to ask the President about his views on Tiger's planned return to golf at the Master's Tournament.

Obama's response: "I'm sure he's still going to be a terrific golfer."

Obama also subtly urged the country to, you know, move on from this. "Tiger has acknowledged that he betrayed his family," the President said. "That's a personal issue he's got to work out. I hope they've worked it out."

Of course, it wasn't the hard-hitting television news reporter who was interested in the answer. Baier made it clear that the question had been e-mailed to him by a reader.

The interview came on the same day as Tiger's (animated) appearance on the season premiere of 'South Park.'

"It's such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak," 'South Park' creator Matt Stone told the AP earlier this week.

'....the 'sex addiction outbreak'? Geez. As if it's some 'disease' you catch from sitting on a toilet. Gimme a damn break. Try SERIAL ADULTERY. Worse, its wasnt just ONE or TWO- it was 13!!! If not more. Woods has truly cheapened himself and the once decent game of golf- sometimes I wonder if it wasn't purposeful. Sadly, something just ain't right with that kid. Displays way too much arrogant hateful behavior to those around him. And treats women- absolutely awful.

Sure says a lot about your character when you're president of the US and will openly support a cheater. It tells everyone what you're made of and that you'll do (are doing) the same thing to the citizens of the US. Watch out folks, you're about to get screwed.

Obama is in the same class as Tiger - low. He's trying to destroy the economy of the United States and you are focused on his opinion of Tiger Woods? Pathetic.

Isn't Medicaid the insurance for the uninsured? Lower some of the requirements and deal could be done.

If medicaid is for the uninsured, then please tell me, what about those of us who have retired from the working world and still can't afford adequate healthcare or sufficent prescription medicines for our well being?

Please, please cut out the expletives when writing on these forums. It only proves you don't know how to talk or write, therefore you can't possibly be taken seriously. It's ridiculously absurd to get on here when you have nothing but expletives to express yourself.

To Nancy, where were you when the GOP was taking this country down the toilet for the last 8 years. This president stepped in this almost damaged country at a time when million of people are out of job, bank closing, losing homes, etc, etc. He asked congress to extend unemployment fund, etc, etc and you sit there and calling him names. Where the heck were you when the former president was still in power. Where were you when thousand of people were being killed in a "fake" war against the people of Iraq all based on lies.

To Nancy, If President Obama is in the same class and Mr. Tiger, I assume that you are in the same class as "Hollywood Madam" go figure. Truly, you are pathetic

To Fredd...and can you keep your own people in line? In your little mind, you try to put one group of people down because in that same little mind of yours, certain people are supposed to be in line whilst certain people don't have to be in any line

We finally have a President that's leading. In fact pushing what he campaigned on, which is why the Dems still have stay strong and believe that " Yes We Can" get this fantastic country back from the greed mongers which is Big Business. Hopefully, we'll have success fixing the Wall Sreet speculators and the Insurance Industry as a whole, who are driving Americans into the poorhouse.

Fox News, TEA party and other right-wingers are hypocrites. They are now saying President Obama should have intervened sooner in the oil spill crisis. But just ten months ago same people said government was getting too big and should butt out of businesses decisions. Same people wanted AIG, GM, Chrysler and other banks to go under. These morons had criticized President Obama for not allowing offshore drilling. Okay, President Obama three months ago came to congress and allowed drilling. See what happened? There is major environmental disaster in history. Do you know who are now bad-mouthing President Obama? The same people had accused President Obama for helping big business. They are now saying government should have done environment impact study on off shore drilling. Fox News people and right-wingers cannot have both ways. President Obama is right to take measured steps in the oil spill disaster. This should be a lesson to Fox News, TEA party and right wing not to criticize President Obama for issues they do not understand. In short Fox News and right-wingers should think carefully what they say. They cannot have both ways. A government has important role in social and economic well being any country. I am asking Hannity, O’rielly, Beck, Ingraham, Michael Steele, and Allen Keyes to join TEAOBAMA
