First Obama was called Apollo Creed, now he's being called Tiger Woods.....

[trumad]

I guess next they'll call him Michael Jordan. :shrug:

[marmar]

1. I assume there's a point to this post.....

:shrug:

[H2O Man]

2. Pretty soon

you folks will stop coming up with those silly names, and join us in calling him President Obama.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Well, we know they won't be calling him Dick Weber...

:D

[islandmkl]

4. or Earl Anthony...

[trumad]

5. LOL

Is bowling a sport?

[Cooley Hurd]

8. I remember Chris Rock's (as Nat X on SNL) description of bowling:

"I love the game. You get to throw a big black ball at the little white pins with red necks.":rofl:

[MADem]

11. ...

:rofl:

I missed that! I was away from America during the Chris Rock years, unfortunately!

[Bucky]

6. So the race comes down to Tiger Woods vs George Steinbrenner?

With, of course, apologies to George Steinbrenner

[Lint Head]

7. The phrase 'hole in one',. comes to mine. :dem:

[VWolf]

9. I'll be happy to call him simply "Mr President:" nt

[MADem]

10. Wasn't it Obama's people who called him Apollo Creed?

They were making fun of Clinton for the "never give up" Rocky reference?

[rox63]

18. They were just reminding people that Rocky lost his first match against Apollo Creed

Kinda like this campaign is going.

[MADem]

21. So I am right--it WAS Obama's supporters, if not Obama himself, who made the reference. NT

[rox63]

22. I don't know - I was just pointing out the reference about Creed winning in the first Rocky movie

I don't who actually started it.

[rodeodance]

12. and Obama camp calls Hilliary f**king whore, c**t, monster,

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. He did?

[oviedodem]

14. So sad that you say "He" did it when NONE of those words came out of

his mouth.

Pathetic

[rodeodance]

15. sorry--my mistake--I meant to say obama camp

[Kokonoe]

16. This is masters week

spelling

Be sure to watch Tiger go for the grand slam.

I don't think it was a big deal. tiger was dismissed by the pros back in 96 in spite of his talent.

So there is definitely a parallel to compare Obama with Tiger Woods. It also points out that Obama is the one to beat in November

[baldguy]

17. or Muhammad Ali

and McCain is Sonny Liston

[H2O Man]

20. True.

19. Obama's campaign co-chairman compares his candidate to OJ Simpson.

http://www.slate.com/id/2181356/

on the night of Obama's victory, Jesse Jr. had this to say to the Washington Post about the inadvisability of Obama going negative against Hillary Clinton: "The natural reminder here is O.J. —how does an African-American candidate attack a white woman?

"I guess next they'll call him Michael Jordan."

That would've been better from Obama's campaign co-chairman Jesse Jackson Jr., to me at least.

[juno jones]

23. Most of my friends just call him 'the shiznit'.

Tiger Woods? Shit might as well as call him Wayne Brady. Samuel L Jackson? Ali? Harry S Truman? BESS TRUMAN? Does this ever end? :eyes:

[backscatter712]

25. I'd rather call him "Mr. President"

I like the way "President Obama" rolls off the tongue.
