No offense to my golf-loving friends, but I didn't think it possible to look cool playing the sport until, well, this

4:35 PM - 23 Dec 2013

President Obama at Mid Pacific Country Club in Kailua, Hawaii, December 23

1. Aye it is.

But ye maun be wearin' a kilt, or tartan trews.

And ye have a wee dram after each hole. There's eighteen wee drams in a bottle, eighteen holes in a round o' gowff. Coincidence, I dinna think so.

6. That runway is marginally too short for a 747

Hickam Field has runways better suited for Air Force One. After landing, I suspect Marine Corps One does the shuttling around. That, and the convoy of black SUV's.

4. Better ditch the pics, someone might be leering at them

5. I've never seen the president when he didn't look cool

until now.

I think you've proven the premise of your post.

If he can't look cool playing golf, nobody can.

7. You wouldn't like George Carlin's opinion on that

8. Gorgeous mountains

Cue right wingers complaining.

11. Oh God, the Pali. How I miss that view.

RWers complain because they still refuse to believe, in their narrow little hearts, that Hawaii is a state as much as Florida or Massachussetts is. How dare he go home for the holidays, if "home" isn't on the continent? Only they can't put it quite that way without looking even more like idiots than they already do.

Mele Kalikimaka e ka Haouli Makahiki Hou, Mr. President!

9. It is if you're the most powerful man on the planet.

That way people share cool pictures of you.

10. Our President is a hottie. Repubs

Always gets jealous about that fact. While our candidates, at least the majority, have been good looking ( with the exception of Kerry) sorry john, I voted for you and love your service, you were not a attractive- repubs have been not attractive at all- not even Romney whom to some, was considered a "stud" his higher than thou attitude made him ugly.

12. No, sorry, unfortunately, golf is inherently, and irrevocably, by nature, uncool.

Golf is the main, quasi-recreational activity of all poseurs of the 1%, who play golf because they believe golf makes them cool in the eyes of the other poseurs who are desperately trying to look, and be, cool by playing golf. Alas, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to cool. Even (formerly) cool people look totally uncool in those stupid clothes, trying to look cool, and by trying to look cool playing golf, totally lose their cool status.

Negative cool is smacking a ball around with expensive sticks and riding around with a bunch of rich, phony schmucks with servants, on gigantic patches of water wasting turf.

Not. Cool.

Now, the photo below, of the Prez causing a brick, is the epitome of essential cool. Hoop is cool. Golf...no ~ not ever cool.

13. I thought, "OK, show me Samuel L. Jackson playing golf and I'll believe it."

But that'll do.

14. Tiger is no slouch in the "cool" department. Just sayin'...n/t

15. Obviously you've never watched Payne Stewart

Another one who died in small aircraft.



Stylish, man. Always in high style. I love those argyle knee highs.
