Perhaps the Stupidest Criticism of a President Ever Made

This morning driving to work, I heard Frank DeFord say the following on NPR.

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.

Really? Nothing else going on the world of sport? You gotta criticize the President for something you wouldn’t think twice about for Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford (read the white guys).

Mr. DeFord goes on…

I’m telling the president, just stay completely away from golf courses and get back to your basketball court.

Really? Any dietary advice while you’re at it?  Have you seen the President’s thighs? Any thoughts on swimming?
