I just have to ask, is Obama the Tiger Woods of Politics ??

I am just wondering, what do you think ?

He has brought so many new voters into the political arena.

Tiger saved golf from dying a slow death and brought in the young people to his sport.
He single handily saved the sport.

Is this what Obama is doing within the area of Politics ?
Has he made it popular in today's culture to vote with his message of change ?

2. Only if he wins and makes it to the white house
Tiger is a winner, not a loser.

4. We don't have enough basis for that yet.
If he wins the Presidency, that's would be like TIger winning his first Masters. But his presidency will have to be amazing for that comparison to hold up.

13. Yes, I must agree, he is a very handsome young man and very serious about his family as well.
Well liked in the state of Florida any way.

fields of their choice. Politics and Golf were in the past not that popular to the younger generation which include my 3 teen/20s age children. Also, family from Florida and he is a common figure around town.

I appreciate the personal association through Florida. That makes sense.
