Obama-Boehner Golf Summit To Occur On U.S. Open Saturday!
/So while those two lovebirds are swatting it around Andrews or some other DC course, the world's best will be at nearby Congressional. Politco's Glenn Thrush reports (thanks reader Tim for the link).
Obama’s offer — and Boehner’s acceptance — came six months after White House press secretary Robert Gibbs suggested the two could work out their differences on the course. Both men are passionate golfers; Obama prefers to hit public courses with a handful of friends and White House staffers while Boehner favors private courses, golf fundraisers and schmoozing sessions with other pols.
Steve Rushin penned an impassioned plea for the two to play golf and Golf Digest even had buttons made up to campaign for a golf course meeting between the President and Speaker of the House.
Do I dare speculate that since Obama always plays his golf on Saturdays, that the schedule has been left open for a U.S. Open Sunday visit?
