Frank Deford: "You think Angela Merkel poses in a golf cart?"

Opinions vary widely on President Barack Obama's love of golf and when it's appropriate for him to play--that's my nice way of saying save your polical rants. But I think we all can get behind Frank Deford's NPR plea to the President and his handlers: lose the carts!

But here's a tip to the White House media office. Never, never again let the president be photographed in a golf cart. What is the wussiest item in all of sports? A golf cart — that electric chaise lounge. A movable divan. Could you ever picture Vladimir Putin in a golf cart? You think Angela Merkel poses in a golf cart? In a pig's eye.
