CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Florida Senator Marco Rubio is standing up to special interests.
That is, if you consider golf a special interest.
"By all accounts -- listen, hear me out -- [Barack Obama] appears to be a very good father, he appears to be a very good husband, and because he practices a lot, he appears to be a very good golfer," Rubio told 400 supporters here a steel factory. "You know I got a letter last week from the golf association saying not to tell that joke anymore? So I hope they're listening."
He was referring to We Are Golf, the group that took umbrage when the Florida senator made the joke during his primetime speech at the Republican National Convention. The organization, which is made up of players and industries that benefit from the game, sent Rubio a letter asking him to stop mocking the president's penchant for golf, a common GOP zinger.
Dave Marin, a spokesman for We Are Golf, told The New York Times that the golf joke "reinforces misperceptions of the game that don’t square with the facts — and because those misperceptions, in turn, have led to unfair legislation and regulation.”
The group has sent similar letters to other politicians, both Republican and Democrat.
Campaigning for Mitt Romney here on Wednesday, Rubio rebuffed critics in the golf industry who asked him to stop taking swings at President Barack Obama for spending time on the links.
It was not the only sports reference Rubio made to the crowd, most of whom were steel workers. He also called Obama a losing coach.
"I don't know how many of you are sports fans, but if my coach has four years of losing records, I'm not signing him to a four year contract extension," he said.
In the last month, Rubio has hit the trail as a surrogate for Romney. While visiting swing states, including Ohio and North Carolina, he has also stumped for senate and congressional candidates; on Wednesday, he attended an event for North Carolina congressional candidate Robert Pittenger. Such moves could elevate Rubio's status as a GOP kingmaker, and help him develop allies if he decides to run for the White House.
Regardless of his future, Rubio's message of American exceptionalism on Wednesday was aimed getting the Republican nominee into the White House.
"We are not going to become like the rest of the world," Rubio told a roaring crowd. "That's the message you can send this election by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."

Just like the rest of the GOTea platform.
"because those misperceptions, in turn, have led to unfair legislation and regulation.” Just like everything about Obama.
"I don't know how many of you are sports fans, but if my coach has four years of losing records, I'm not signing him to a four year contract extension," he said.
This statement from a little twerp who's not even qualified to wipe O's ass..!!!LOL!!!

O&Joe 2012
I wish he would spend more time golfing and less time screwing up the country.
Sounds like Rubio is Jealous of Obama's handicap. Could it be putter envy? Or is he jealous of Obama's wood? Oh the double entendres could go on for hours.
If that's all they have left, it's pretty much game over. I mean, really! How many presidents before him were golfers? Poor old Ike would be roasted alive today because he made it a point to golf nearly every day. So did Gerry Ford, although he had a penchant for hitting people instead of the fairway. Hey, I have a novel idea, why don't the Republican's run on their record?
That means LBJ must have been a great President, because he was a horrible golfer.
umm, they use metal today. They still call them woods, but no one but maybe grandpa carries them in their bag anymore
wow, that was totally lost on you. Man the guys in your corner, mocking Rubio and you didnt even catch jealous of Obama's WOOD!
Elliot still waiting for your apology about your flamingo comments!
Like Romney, no apologies no character!
Chris Crocker is back.
This is what you libs and the Media Mafia sounds like every day

****Leave Barack 0bama Alone****
Hummingbirds are lame too.
I'm sure Marco expressed his extreme dislike of Presidential golfing during the Bush administration too... "Now, watch this drive!" What I really want to know is this - did Rubio read his golfing rant from a teleprompter. $10 says he did... :)
The magnetic containment field that keeps the anti-Mitt contained is about to lose its integrity. The anti-Mitt will come into contact with Mitt and the two will annihilate each other. Poof! It will be the first time in history that a Mitt-core breach will have happened.
Ahhh Rubio the Embellisher...trying to remain relevant while holding his little hands out for Government $$...
PIZZA! PIZZA!
"We Are Golf" took "umbrage".
Listen, it doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum you're from, that's just plain funny.
Yeah, we know the President likes to put in a few rounds at the links. But hey, let's not forget that Dubya is on record for having taken more vacation days in his first term than any other President in modern history.
So, for "We Are Golf" to take umbrage is in itself funny. BUT, for Rubio to take issue with our President's leisure time activities as somehow being excessive, simply for political gain, that's just plain laughable.
Marco the Tee Potty favorite .. teas off...tears up...after loss in November 2012 ... or what the Pee Potty calls ...trickle-down economics.
.
Rubio would make fun of the woman swimming from his Cuban homeland to Florida if it got the Great Corporate Satan a vote............
Seriously, who cares? It is funny what comes up nowadays...now we are talking about what some golf group wants? lol.
The liberal liars NBC communist supporters cant even give a story that is suppose to back the gop without showing that they are 1000000000%%%%%
BIASED LAIRS
See you nov 7th to rub your liars noses in the @!$%# you spew 24/7 LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" sent Rubio a letter asking him to stop mocking the president's penchant for golf,"
Of course they don't want to be associated with Obama, who does?
gee, wasn't there a story about a year ago about how much Boehner golfs and at the most exclusive resorts, like several times a week? No wonder congress can't get anything done. Between Boners golfing, short sessions with nothing accomplished and and Mitch McDoNothing in the Senate with a record number of filibusters....
Well said. Boehner does spend a lot of time golfing and Mitch does nothing but filibuster jobs and infrastructure bills.
How about Gawker got it wrong in the first place and reported on things that were non-existent? Of course, if one hears it on Faux News or reads it online, and it is anti-Obama, it must be true, or so the Greedy One Percent - Tea Party want us to believe.....
"I don't know how many of you are sports fans, but if my coach has four years of losing records, I'm not signing him to a four year contract extension," he said.
Ummm....yeah. Not the coach at fault. It's the team. Bunch of lazy, over paid players who can do nothing well except block.
And like Republicans don't golf.
Golf. The sport in which rich old white men chase around little white balls, because they are too old to chase anything else!
The same joke would apply if Obama spent too much time at the bar. He should be spending his time "at the office" not on the links or at the bar.
Obama has been very successful at reversing the damage idiots like Bush and Rubio have done.
I say four more!!!! I will come back here and laugh at the tea potty fans day after the election.
We survived Party Boy. You'll survive Obama. Quit whining.
"party boy" ? I think you have Obama and Bush mixed up.Who has spent the most taxpayer dollars on expensive parties on a one year average?
When you have NO ideas, NO solutions, and NO answers, NOTHING positive to offer – you talk about such import things like, rounds of golf, birth certificates, Teleprompters, college transcripts, worthless garbage like that. Then you throw in even more garbage with words and phrases like “socialist” and “Marxist” and “he’s not one of us” – all that kind of crap. But the bottom line is more and more Americans are realizing that the right has NOTHING to offer and that’s why President Obama will be reelected in November.
Here's a fact for you, yosolo:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are going to win re-election on November 6, 2012.
May I suggest that over the next four years, you paddle with the ship instead of against it? Your B.S. has been dragging us down and holding us back long enough now, don't you think?
I would hope that a T.P.Rep. patter merchant would just maybe talk of their accomplishments ,for once instead of the P.O.T.U.S.lack of ,due to their blocking tactics.What did he consider was good about his party's blocking of the attempt to help Veteran's get jobs. They are a useless bunch of obstructionists. They don't even stay at their jobs when we are in a crisis.I could go on ad -infinitumn about this group of non-producers but I will merely say that they should get a real job.
Hey Rubio, why don't you pay back the "evil and socialist" student loans you still owe. It's sad that someone who used to make over $300k as a lawyer, and now $174k as a Senator still cannot pay back his student loans.
Apparently Marco Rubio has more balls than We Are Golf. And more sense.
Romney/Ryan 2012!
"We are not going to become like the rest of the world," Rubio told a roaring crowd. "That's the message you can send this election by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."
That's right we won't be like the rest of the world because we will have a feudal society where the top tier of corporate masters and their joined at the teat sucklers control everyone else.
Why is a politician playing golf only funny when said politician is not a white man?
The favorite sport of Rubio and the other tea-party nuts is to begrudge, belittle, and strike fear in the minds and hearts of others. They especially like to belittle the poor and middle class. Just ask the 47% of people which their 'default candidate', Mitt Romney, commented on last week! Well, the game's (election) not yet over, but the players are heading for the 18th tee and President Obama is 1 up with 1 to play. Mr. Rubio your player (Mittens) and your party are, in golf jargon, STYMIED! Just where you belong!
Diana, as is the custom from those on the left, you find it necessary to refer to FOX and insinuate that it is the home of the far right. While I freely admit they lean to the right, are they really any worse than MSNBC? If you take your rose colored glasses off for a moment and just look at the list of commentators they have on, you have to admit they are in the bag for the President. Even their slogan "Lean Forward" fits right in with the President's slogan "Forward".
I understand that people can legitimately disagree, but when you try to vilify someone by using a network reference and won't point out the hypocrisy from the other side, the argument looses all value.
jrl-281852, FOX is far worse. When surveyed, watchers of FOX News score significantly lower then watchers of all other news casts, including The Daily Show & the Colbert Report, on their accurate knowledge of current events. FOX News does not educate nor inform their viewers which is what a news cast is supposed to do.
JRL, Yes, I'm sure there is a slant from all sources of the media. However, Faux News and their talk shows have FAR FAR more talking heads that put out such crap and nonsense, with no rebuttal I might add, and seldom every any corrections, that they DO win the prize for being the home of the far right, far right wing-nuts and the teabaggers. Remember the bogus report of the bazillions the Obama trip with the family cost us a couple of years ago? Reported that we sent 3/4 of our navy ships to the same location? Faux ran with it and never once questioned the course, facts, etc. Anything to get a story out to harm O.
If Rubio was smart he would switch to the Dem's, he's on the wrong side, Rubio - don't turn your back to the GOP !!!!!!!!!!!!
So Rubio, tell us about you're parents fought against Castro in Cuba. Oh wait that was just another lie you told. You're parents came to the USA years before the revolution ever started. Dam those immigration records!
We Are Golf......seriously???? Their request sounds more like it came from We Are Morons.
Why is it that the jackasses who write vicious crap like the comments directed at conservatives on this site are so touchy when somebody fires a liitle crap at their paper mache messiah? Gonna dish it out?...the ya better learn to take it!
Perhaps one of our right-wing brethren on this board can explain to me what Republicans mean by "American Execptionalism". I keep seeing it but they never seem to explain it. Is this some kind of internal "Republican code" or can anyone know your definition?
Still no response to my question... <crickets chirping>
Do you suppose Republicans have no idea what they're talking about but want to keep that fact to themselves?
Speaking of Golf!
I would like to welcome all of the attendees of the Ryder Cup to my backyard!
I also admire all of my newly entrepreneurial neighbors & the killing they are making off of parking fees! lol
lousy 1%ers. Why not a 'sit in' and learn em a lesson. Just call it Occupy
Hey Feisty, Just in case you didn't see my last post, "WELCOME BACK"
Thanks darling!
I'm always willing to take one for the team! ☺
Yes, Feisty, welcome back. I enjoy what you write and how you needle the right wing nut job extremist Fascist wannabes.
handing em over on silver platters. That is all sorts of wrong.
wow two of you got suspended for harassing one person. Harley was banned for what I have no idea.
Hey Feisty! Welcome back. You were certainly missed. I don't post often, but it wasn't the same without you. Wanted to thank you for the work you are doing to re-elect our POTUS. Keep up the good work, and again, welcome back :)
Awww isn't that cute...Little Seizure picking on the women again...
But he does have "killa debating skillz"...he's just misunderstood...or was he misheard...or is it that he's just misunderestimated...
So, taxman...why aren't you pulling the trigger for Ryan/Romney again?
PIZZA! PIZZA!
Fiesty and Patricia are two reasons why women should never have been given the vote. It's obvious they don't have a clue.
ready/not,
So those who don't share your views should not be allowed to vote? Any other fascist suggestions you have?
.
Fiesty, I was hoping you would STAY PI$$ED off. Gov Romney doesn't have a chance, with your wit, huge following and relentless attacks of his character, his abilities and most of all his success in life.
What's amazing is, your wasting your talent on efforts to reelect a failed and incompetent leader for 4 more years.
Feisty: How much do you think our "middle class" President spends in green fees, carts etc. for all these outings? I am assuming, of course, the money is coming out of his own pocket and not by the taxpayers when he plays with a political crony and calls it a "meeting". And how much do the taxpayers pay for the Secret Service to sweep a golf course and protect our "invincible" President from assassination. My God, he has the best life protection the world could buy already -- it's called Joe Biden.
I'm a Feisty fan!
Obama/Biden 2012 - Romney/Ryan 1040
If Obama gets reelected it will be because of idiots who have no idea of the needs of the nation. Birth control, abortion, same sex marriage, public bathrooms, picking one's nose are not issues germane (sorry if some of you don't understand that word) to the survival of this Nation.
Voters should be looking at the nations economy, its security and foreign affairs.
Feisty is no benefit to anyone. She is a jerk, obsessed with the peripheral (another word you might not understand).
Get a life, look at what is important. Check the "facts". I've fact checked Feisty numerous times, when I doubted her Nostradamus like comments, and found them to be propaganda 100% of the time.
Oh, but we are, Gil! And voters all across the country, in every swing state, are rationally concluding that Obama/Biden is better on all accounts than Romney/Ryan.
(Welcome home, Feisty and Bev!)
Ha Ha HA Ha A Republican supporter saying "check the facts", what's next, that Mittens supports the middle class!! That's funny, because Fact-Check and Politico have both fact checked Mittens and The Rube, and virtually every thing they have said has been a lie. I'm sure when your party is going down the toilet, that checking Feistys facts are very important to winning the election (no offense to you Feisty, I had no idea they thought enough of you to track your statements like a Presidential contender, but what else do they have to do when they support such a loser. By the way, welcome back!).
And I couldn't agree more that birth control, abortion, same sex marriage, public bathrooms, etc. are irrelevant, however when you have absolutely no record to run on like Mittens, those things are important to keeping the mindless sheeple like Gil in line. Baaaaaaaa Baaaaa
FlaNative:
You can check all of my past posts. I have never indicated party affiliation in any of them. I am an oriented independent, seeking the truth. If you have fact, otherwise, BACK IT UP!! YOU SAID IT !!
You mentioned that you "Fact Checked" Romney. Why did you not "Fact Check " Obama. Selective checking = propaganda. The same as you did with me, by calling me a Republican.
For months I have avoided calling Liberals liars, assuming statements were made out of ignorance or compassion. Now the pervasiveness of the lying has gone to the extreme.
You have no problem lying by asserting that I am a Republican.
Will your next lie be that Romney shot JFK?
My quest is honesty in politics. Not propaganda.
Welcome back Fiesty~ I missed your posts!
Feisty,
Don't get on here much so don't know why you got yanked. Republican censorship? Just wanted to say you are most entertaining and right on the mark nearly all the time. Keep giving it to these low information people that can't think for themselves. You're the bomb!
I still don't understand why people are still backing Mitt Romney. His healthcare plan...same as the President. Everytime the man opens his mouth, he is proven to be lying or back peddling on things he stood for several years ago. Many, many things. I just don't get it. The man is arrogant, dishonest, narcissistic and out of touch with the rest of this country. It is obvious to most of us. GOP...stands for greedy old pr*cks. And to the moron above who said that women shouldn't vote...you pretty much mirror the Republican party, who apparently only want Rich, White men to vote. It is 2012 and believe you me, women are headed to the polls. I wish you luck in your disillusioned views.
A HUGE thanks to ALL of you for the well-wishes!
I'm humbled...
It's so good to be home!
Trust me... it was a doozey! lol
I took out a whole bunch of right wing nitwits along with me in the process!
No one wants to be called a republican anymore, we are all independents
LOL
I switched from GOP to Independent in 2004 when the TeaReTarded party got in and started destroying our Country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feisty: @2.21 What bar stool do you consider home? How long have you been sleeping under it?
Are you kidding me?!!
Republicans ran on jobs, jobs, jobs in 2010...remember? So what kind of legislation have the Teabaggers concentrated on...birth control, abortion, same sex marriage, public bathrooms...
Republican hypocrisy is peerless!
"When they show you who they are...believe them!"
Is the RNC or Americans for Prosperity paying you to say that too?
Anyone notice that we are not to say anything against the prophret mohammed of I sorry against pres omama? I guess he is not fair game but everyone else is??? Come on people grow up-you want to be in politics then grin and bear or get the heck out of the kitchen?????
No, if you dont agree with his policies thats fine but when you start with the lying birther, secret muslim crap, no one wants you to take up space with your idiotic posts okeydokie
Now when I delete you, you are gone forever. I liked it better the other way where I could look at what a right wing extremist fool would say and then sometimes want to have them back.
Why wasn't the left outraged at Madonna's statement that Obama was a Muslim? Oh, that's right, it's only wrong if someone on the right makes that statement. Typical liberal hypocrisy.
November 2012 - The end of an error
@RightToChoose
How could you possibly know what "the left" thought about Madonna's statement? You make a huge, and erroneous assumption, all for the purpose of condemning those with whom you disagree by grouping them all together, concluding they all think collectively and then calling them hypocrites.
Nice! That's one of the most nonsensical statements I have read in a long time. Congratulations. You do a pretty good impression of an arrogant, condescending, twit. I bet that took a LOT of practice over many years, hmm?
@Robert
The truth hurts doesn't it? I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and most other news outlets, minus NBC of course, and none of them, with the exception of Fox News, ran any scathing stories about what she said. Like I said, it's only wrong when someone on the right makes that claim and you just reinforced my argument. Thank you.
Is that really a serious question or rhetorical BS? I'm guessing the latter. But just to humor you "Madonna"? are you serious? Come on man, you don't honestly take Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Michele Bachmann or Mitt Romney seriously do you?
...same thing.
Fascinating. Is there anybody, anywhere, who actually believes that anything Madonna says is of any relevance to anybody, anywhere? Just curious.
I'm a lefty, but that doesn't really apply here. As an adult, I have to say that her 'Muslim' comment was just one more in the litany of brainless and childish comments which have spilled from her mouth like so much back-alley semen in the last 30 years.
I most certainly hope that a wasted, washed-up skank is not somehow considered a leader in liberal thought. Maybe on Fox they could think that, but then, they'll believe anything.
"I don't know how many of you are sports fans, but if my coach has four years of losing records, I'm not signing him to a four year contract extension," he said.
This statement from a little twerp who's not even qualified to wipe O's ass..!!!LOL!!!

O&Joe 2012
...and God knows, Obama is certainly proficient at @!$%#ting himself.....
yeah, but he doesn't hold a candle compared to that other white dude that has alienated nearly every voter out there !!!!!
'nother swing and a miss for those goofy RepubliTards...
I've never understood the criticism of the POTUS playing golf. All of us need some r &r at times and golf is a perfect escape. I think Obama sets a good example for all Americans in this regard for getting outside and getting a little exercise. I've disagreed with several decisions he's made, but playing golf isn't one of them.
How many rounds did you play this year?
How many people live in your house and are waiting for you to straighten out the financial problems?
Thats where the critics are coming from
elliot-3020456: just saying...no one can work 24/7 to straighten out all of our problems. Got to have some down time to readjust and golf is a pretty good way of doing it.
No kidding Intel2 .... Golf is a great game to relax and get some much needed quiet time as well as exercise!
Note to all ... elliot-3020456 is someone to truly put on ignore ... the ease of reading posts is just so wonderful when you don't have to wade through the Breitbart epistles!!
Obama/Biden 2012
All work and no play makes elliot a dull boy.
Elliot,
You write, "How many people live in your house and are waiting for you to straighten out the financial problems?" That's funny; I've been asking the very same question about the feckless Republican Party for the last 35 years.
the difference is that Owebama contributed 6 of the 16 TRILLION of the National debt! He has spent and continues to spend more than any other president in history. A vote for Owebama is a vote for national bankrupcy.
No. Any money that President Obama has spent has been put to good use. The Recovery Act, a great benefit to every state when we were in a crisis as serious as the Great Depression with the banks going bust and the housing foreclosure mess at the same time. The money that went to help the American car industry was well spent. Now instead of these companies being out of business they are back and going strong. Funding to keep teachers, police officers and fire fighters in their jobs is always good. Funding also went for hospitals, schools, universities and many other good uses. President Obama was left with two wars. He has ended the Iraq War and will end the Afghanistan War. He has a target date for the U.S. to leave that country. Funding comes from Congress and a good bit of that funding has been for the wars. America will be in a lot better shape once the Afghanistan War ends.
Yes, President Obama should have spent the time clearing brush on his ranch while counterterrorism officials were screaming from the hills about "bin Laden determined to attack America."
That's what a real engaged president does.
More lies. Easily checked...
When Bush's last budget expired (Oct, 2009), the national debt was $12T. It is now $16T. About $4T was added under Obama's watch.
George W. Bush started with $5.7T in 2000. By the end of his last budget, national debt was $11.9T. Bush, aided and abetted by Republican majorities in both houses for 6 out of 8 years, more than doubled our national debt, adding $6.2T!
Note that Obama handed a deep recession (note that it is being called the "Bush Recession" - with good reason) with 7.8% unemployment (and rising faster than Halliburton's profits!) and a $1.2T deficit on the day he entered office. Bush, on the other hand, was handed a balanced budget and 4.0% unemployment when he started.
any sitting POTUS, in a recession is going to see lower revenues and higher outlays.
Don't forget republicons don't believe in the governments ability to do anything, besides they don't have any ideas, other than to cut the foodstamp program..........
Golf sees that it is the fastest growing sport in America. They're view of our current misleader is that if he plays golf, it is good for the industry. Think of the Hollywood agents who say "It doesn't matter what they say about you as long as they spell your name correctly." President Eisenhower was the first modern enthusiastic and I understand competent presidential golfer. Golf may be the only arena were Obama is even nearly competent.
And think of this. Every minute he is on the golf course is one less minute he has to think of ways to screw up the country.
Golfish, it is pretty clear you DON'T golf! Golf is one sport that actually clears your mind and allows you to think as you're not strategizing against other players ... it's you, the course, fresh air, and time without phones, computers, etc. .....
You should try it.
Obama/Biden 2012
Republicans screwed up the country during the eight years of Bush/Cheney. They caused it with their drive for deregulation that they got passed. Just let those businesses and banks self-regulate. And surprise surprise republican politicians are still doing everything they can to keep any progress or success from being accomplished by President Obama. Republicans are to blame for the down grading of our Triple A rating when they pulled their anti-American stunt. Bills for jobs creation and infrastructure work are languishing in the republican House. President Obama is saving our country. The GOP is just determined to go back to tax cuts for the rich and any other way to enrich those who have poured so much money to them. These republican Grover Norquist pledge signers have been against the people struggling in the recession and they are indifferent to anything but more tax cuts.
Hello everyone,
Tomorrow is the first day of my retirement, I'm looking forward to learning to play golf with my husband. The only difference between me and President Obama is I won't be ignoring my job or tasks that I should be accomplishing. I'm lucky enough to retire at a fairly young age (55), and I have worked hard over the years to be able to do this. Why would one retire in the middle of the year you ask???? My answer is I'm tired of having to write a check to the IRS to add money to what has been taken out of my paycheck (I already had additional money taken out each week) over the year. I sat down and figured out at what point will my contribution from my paycheck cover the taxes the government says I owe. So continue working and paying too many federal taxes, I'm done!!!!!
janet-Welcome to the 47%! Unfortunately, you have now run affoul of your fearless leader Mittens, and now he will not be catering to you any longer. I'm sure that if Mittens could get in the WH, you would then have to return to work, as all the benefits you are just starting to enjoy will then go away, and you will be expected to be gainfully employed to help the ultra-wealthy. I believe their is a position open in Annie Boo Boo's stable, cleaning up after your new boss (the horse!), but if you feed him well, brush his coat and wipe his butt (Mitt, not the horse!), I'm sure he will show you his magic underwear and give you all the manure you want too (he has PLENTY)!
Golfish and other Obama haters, dare have a problem with President Obama playing golf as a way to relax after dealing with the many problems of the United States and the world. In terms of competency, he has shown over and over again how competent he is. Romney, in the meantime wants to know why the windows can't roll down on an airplane. Maybe I will have my 6 year old granddaughter explain it to him. This is the man who wants to run this country!!
...Jack Nicklaus just endorsed Romney.....as do most golfers in America.......hopefully in a few weeks Obama will be working his new job at a golf course, in the clubhouse cleaning balls......
Janet,
I too am saddened for you, but I as well, belong to the 47% of useless Americans..
but I can't vote for Romney, he's a felon !!!!
Republican Congressman Rubio clear up his Ethics Violations in FL yet?
Real journalists have already identified far left lobbyist Tony Podesta is behind this. http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/20/lobbyist-close-to-white-house-behind-effort-of-golfers-to-quell-jokes-about-obama/
The MessNBC article somehow ignores this fact. Not surprising, given all the staff here have the kneepads on for Obama 24/7.
CNN, yes, even CNN did a story tonight lambasting Obama about the Libyan lie.
Not here. Never. Keep sucking, boys!
Remember this is the Cuban spic who lied about his grandparents escaping Castro's Cuba when at the time they left it was actually Batista that was still running the country. Jesus, is there one, just one Republican who can keep from lying? I doubt it.
Spic? Really? You're disgusting. And I'm not a Republican.
Whats worse it has two votes. Not cool.
Just shame on you.
Disgusting. Shame on you, gemini.
Just no class democrats!
Hey now Murphy! Don't be a hater on all of us for the one! I'm pretty sure everyone finds gemininimeg's comment completely disgusting.
I know I do.
Obama/Biden 2012
Layton,,,I apologize,,,That was not right. Romney/Ryan2012!
The club "we are golf" is offended by the little marble player who cheats with a "cow taw". Course the "liars club" became quickly stifled after the appearance of Bush/Cheney. We can take heart though. Long as we have republicans we'll have laughter. Understand S.C. Senator Jim DeMint and former Pa. Senator Rick Santorum endorsed Mo. Senatorial candidate Todd Akin today. Seems Akin wasn't satisfied with His own case of Syphilis. Got Himself an injection of Clap and a booster of Herpes from these 2 respectively. Gwad!, the gathering of Eagles are somewhere over the horizon, while the rest of us are forced to endure the "winds of farts".
I find it interesting that the Cuban-American right wingers don't come from the pre-Castro Cuban democracy groups.But their families were supporters of the Batista dictatorship.And funny fact,Lincoln Balart is Castro's nephew.Castro's first wife was a Balart,and her family were big Batista supporters.Now since coming here they all pretend to believe in Democracy,but vote Republican.
I find the racial slur disgusting, the rest is factually true. Rubio either intentionally lied or was ignorant about his family history.
Beyond the pale for name calling. I too am a supporter of Obama and find your slur to be disgusting and unwarranted. This isn't what America is supposed to be about. Everyone is entitled to their opinion whether you agree with them or not. Fight the urge to denigrate someone because of their ethniticity otherwise we begin to sound similar to a lot of members of the GOP party.
Now go sit in the corner and write 500 sentences that I will not do that again.
It would seem we're getting down to the silliest trivial nonsense. Raise your sights, posters -- this isn't worthy of even a rational discussion, much less rants.
CNN, yes, even CNN did a story tonight lambasting Obama about the Libyan lie.
Whats this got to do with Rubio and Golf? You righties love spinning anything....
My husband who works 55-60 hours a week, loves golf and probable plays 60 rounds a year. It is his relaxation and how he works out stress.
It's always such a joke and great fodder for republicans, but just as clearing brush, Golf, and bike riding were Bush's hobbies.
Let's look up who took more vacation days in their first 3.5 years.
Blunt/Rubio bill nuff said!
Golf is often used by CEOs and other executives to do business. Talking to someone in a more relaxed state is often more productive than in a more formal discussion. President Obama knows this and obviously the kid in Florida doesn't understand that.
The young Senator also doesn't realize that many of the folks on the golf courses are retired people from states farther North and making comments that could be construed as derogatory of golfers couldn't be helpful to him.
Damn right it is. Nothing closes the sale like a round of golf. Unless you're the Weeper of the House who uses a bar stool to do his business.
and you think Owebama is not the 1%?
I know that President Obama is wealthy. But he came from a middle class background. After Harvard he was poor when he went to work with the poor in Chicago as a community organizer. The Christian churches in the area brought him into their flock. I believe he wanted to work with the less fortunate because that is what his mother did when she went to work with poor women in Indonesia for the government. The one percent has never been the only thing that President Obama cares about. Democrats are known to be rich and still good and caring for all people. We in the middle class care about the poor and work to help them. President Obama wrote two books that were best sellers. He also worked as a lawyer in the law firm where he met his wife.
Rubio better watch his mouth even the Cubans in miami are getting a ton of benefits [like the Rubio family got and abused]while lying about there status. The little sissy will be gone at his next attempt to get elected.Wonder when he will start paying back all the questionable expenses he abused when he was the Speakerin Florida.
As if Tiger Woods didn't screw up golf already... come on, now we're trying to silence people talking about golf. Only in Obama's America does this even get mentioned.
Oh and I see Fiesty is back. I'm sure all of ther other 5th graders on First Read are estatic.
Rubio, are you jealous that the President sometimes has to play golf to discuss business?
How do you do business Rubio, toasting glasses of laced Kool Aide with your wealthy neocon friends in the megachurch's back office?
"nananananana..."
"Cinderella story..."
"Bet you he eats it."
Caddyshack
so this is how low rubio and his fellow repub losers are willing to go...I'm gonna chip in 25 more bucks for obama now
When it comes to messages, I hope the Congress gets the message after this election. At their near-single-digit approval rating, they need to get to work on behalf of the American people. That "exceptionalism" Mr. Rubio talks about does not apply to those who would see this country falter to keep a duly elected president from gaining a second term. Nor does it apply to those who would refuse to work with the other party and who consider the word "compromise" a curse word.
@Voting,
Well spoken.
Please allow me to take your point one step further.
I consider the decision of duly elected members of the modern-day Republican Party to make a pact to obstinately obstruct ANY proposal made (even if it may have been to their liking previously) by a duly elected President to be a deliberate act of Treason.
We would be doing exceptionally lousy if Romney got elected. It would make most of us would spiral downward under his presidency and have many special needs such as for healthcare and food that we can no longer afford.
It is funny, but the politicians that crow the most about their religion are also the ones wrapping themselves in the flag, bemoaning the assault on Xmas and crying about the lack of prayer in schools. However, they fail to remember that their religion teaches love for their fellow man, not only their fellow countryman. Of course, they detest their fellow countrymen also if they hit hard times and need help, which is the opposite of what their book teaches (or so I have heard).
Bali Bob, totally agree with the treason comment. The GOP are doing their best to drive us into the ground.
Good comment Voting
Golf is all Obama knows they shouldn't be to hard on him...let him play untill November then he will have to go back home.
Anyone want to place a bet that in a couple of weeks some of those steel workers will come forward and state that they were "encouraged" by their bosses to attend this rally, much like those mine workers(who lost pay because the work was stopped for that event) were a couple months back when Robmey was holding a rally? Just sayin'.
Another puff piece. There's real news out there and this is the story on top of the politics listing right now?
You cannot expect msDNC to have news that pertains to hussain obama's record do ya? At anytime, look at the headlines alone and these are about the 3 R's. Romney,Ryan and republicans. ANYTIME! Anything to get the eyes off this godless babykillers democrats no class chicago style campaign!
@Murphy Andrew, really, you simply have a lot to learn about FACTS, you my friend are very ignorant and sorry to say not a class of your own from what I have read here. Get over yourself, try some research on you own. You know they say kept your mouth closed and people can only precive you a fool, open your mouth and you leave No doubt. Nothing personal, but damn have you listened to yourself?
cheezwiz,,,and yet you cannot point to anything I said that was false. Nothing personal but have your gay life partner read it back to you again even slower and possibly you can stop drinking the obamazombie koolaid enough to realize the truth!
Today while in Ohio Willard was introduced by and got an endorsement from none other then the Golden Bear Jack Nicklaus. I guess Willard likes to play gold too. I guess Rubio didn't know this.
hussain obama must really be relaxed since he has set the record of golf games yet does not have to stress out with meetings with his security counsel or employment counsel. He has missed 60% of the daily briefings but can go to vegas when our diplomats are being murdered. He can turn down any foreign leader meeting to be on letterman and the view! His failure of a leader to be the last to see it was planned attacks and not a stupid movie trailer should show even the most ignorant obamazombies that this puke should not get another and will not ,4 years to rip this country apart!
-Murphy
What the hell are you talking about. Typical Repuke! Can't stay on topic. Once again hatred breeds stupidity!!!
rburn,,,libtards like yourself cannot follow? Ask your life partner to read it to ya again!
Tell me Andy, what fried your brain....meth, inbreeding, or just plain old trauma?
And why did people give you the name drano???
"Set the record of golf game"
Probably a made up fact, like most GOP facts. Eisenhower played a lot of golf and was easily the best Republican President of th past 80 years. Even had greens installed at Camp David.
I like Ike, and I like Barrack, Golf has nothing to do with it.
Murphy Andrew -- Multi-tasking is a trait I want the POTUS to have. Playing golf and eliminating bin Laden, playing golf and bailing out the auto industry, playing golf and getting the economy on steadier footing, playing golf and eliminating Qaddafi and the accomplishments continue... even playing golf!
