Obama-Boehner Cart Seating Plan: Renegade Left, Agent Orange Right
/At least, I think those are the Secret Service code names for the Commander in Chief and the Speaker. Seems the game is at Andrews and the press tagged along. AP's Julie Pace with the early observation:
Vice President Joe Biden earned the commander in chief's approval when he sank a 15-to-20 foot putt on the first hole, a par five, at Joint Base Andrews.
"Did you all catch that?" Obama shouted to reporters gathered near the green.
The president sent his putt just past the hole before tapping in. Boehner, considered one of Washington's best golfers, gave a hearty "Oh yeah!" after draining a short putt.
Obama, who's not in Boehner's links league, patted the speaker on the back as they headed toward the second hole, the president driving their cart.
Aides say the time that Obama and Boehner are spending on the course could help improve a relationship that's respectful, but hardly close.
The New York Times is blogging the day and features this photo. I think we can do better with the caption.
