On the first green, Gov. Kasich missed a 30-foot putt but tapped in for par.
Next up, VPOTUS drained a 15-footer to make what we believe is a birdie on the par 5 first hole.
POTUS putted next. He crouched down to line up his shot before just missing a 12-footer. He tapped in for par.
The Speaker putted last, hitting a short putt for par.
Go Joe!!!!!!!
President Barack Obama, Speaker of the House John Boehner are joined by Vice President Joseph Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the first green at Andrews Air Force Base

White House statement, endorsed by John Boehner:
“The foursome had great time and really enjoyed playing golf at Joint Base Andrews today. The President and Speaker Boehner teamed up to beat the Vice President and Governor Kasich. The match was won on the 18th hole – the President and the Speaker won $2 each.”
“After finishing their round, the President, Speaker Boehner, the Vice President and Governor Kasich went to the patio of the clubhouse where they enjoyed a cold drink, some of the U.S. Open coverage and visited with service members.”
Rusty looks relatively sober this morning. Prez and his khakis look great. Terrorists quake in fear. All is well.
Have a great day, everyone
!
Hi Junkessa and everyone at TOD family! My President is looking good today. Boner seems to be okay for now. Let’s hope he’s not crying by the end of the game (even if he wins). I hear that the Afghan peace talks are coming along. Let’s hope something good comes out of it.
good morning Chip
Mark Knoller is watching them play

Thank you Fred!
And good morning!
Is it just me or is Rusty not so …….rusty anymore? Maybe that tanning tax has really begun to take effect on Rusty’s wallet. Thank Frack. He was really beginning to look even more disgusting on the outside than he is on the inside.
Hopefully, PBO gets whatever he needs to get done with The Litter Box so that he can move on and have a FANTABULOUS father’s Day weekend 
ps- Good Morning everyone!!!!! Sorry to start the day off so nastily, but Tanman brings out the very worse in me, especially since PBO could have been having more fun with decent folk instead of that litter box
The Prez is looking especially good, and Boner has orange legs, but he does look sober.
“Boner has orange legs, but he does look sober.”
for now
Is Boehner married? I never see a wife any where.
He is married but I read that his wife always stays in Ohio.
The one time I saw her she was looking at Rusty the same way that little girl was looking at him at the picnic—-with a look of disgust. I don’t think she likes Rusty so much any more. Maybe all that sobbing finally got to her.
President Obama is lookin’ good. Looks like Rusty has a crack problem in the one photo—-crack, as in he needs to pull his shorts out of his crack. Hope that discomfort doesn’t make him break down in tears.
Heard the VP sank a nice 15 footer, and Obama said to the cameras—-’hope you got that one’.
” A crack problem” LOL. I hope he is not going commando. YUK!
you guys should read THIS about Boehner and save it too
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/06/06/982638/-Maybe-its-time-for-the-media-to-say-what-they-know-about-Boehner
OOH…ORANGE MAN IS A BUSY BOY! SHE HAS TO EITHER BE INSANE…OR SHE HAS VERY POOR TASTE IN CHARACTER AND LIKES THE WALLET…OR BOTH! ‘BINGO!’
He probably spends so much time crying because he’s so relieved that no one has found out what….. who he likes to do on the side. His poor wife. Damned shame
Yup, married with two daughters. Debbie Boehner, daughters Tricia and Lindsay. Here is a New York Times article.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/06/us/politics/06boehner.html
UH-OH….TAKE A REAL GOOD LOOK AT THE BOTTOM PIC….THE PRESIDENT IS CLENCHING HIS JAW! NOT GOOD! BTW…IF I WERE BOEHNER’S WIFE…I’D STAY IN OHIO! HE’S A HATEFUL MAN!
Look at that first picture of the orange man, he looks like he is about to cry.
Oh come on, he looks absolutely giddy to be golfing with the Prez. I guess that would make him cry.
WITH HIS TYPE A PERSONALITY…HE PROBABLY FIGURES HE SHOULD BE HONORED FOR FORCING THE PREZ. INTO A GOLF DATE….MUCH LIKE TRUMP’S ATTITUDE OVER THE B.CERT…..LITTLE DO THEY KNOW…THE PREZ. IS WAY AHEAD OF THEM AND IT DOESN’T TAKE A GOLF CLUB TO GET THERE.
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT FOR SACRIFICING HIS TIME FOR SUCH A SHMUUUUUUUUCK…THAT’S TRUE LEADERSHIP WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPEND YOUR TIME WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW IS STICKING A KNIFE IN YOUR BACK EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND. WHAT GOES AROUND…COMES AROUND….BOEHNER’S TIME WILL COME. BET HE’S HOPIN’ FOR A BEER AND A SMOKE ABOUT NOW!…BOEHNER…NOT THE PREZ!
BOEHNER IS A LOSER….THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO THINK BEFORE THEY VOTE. HOW CAN ANYONE BE PROUD OF HAVING INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS IN GOVERNMENT…IT’S JUST PLAIN DISGUSTING TO ME.
Kasich is there because Boehner needed back up and McConnell and Cantor probably don’t golf, or are crud at it. Ailes LOVES Kasich, so he’s probably Fox Propaganda’s eyes and ears there today.
i love how neither Joe nor PBO appear to be interacting with Kasich. He needs to realize what a bottom feeding parasite he is. Wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot poll
pole
WELL… I CERTAINLY HOPE THE PRESIDENT AND VP JOE HAVE A SUPER FATHER’S DAY AFTER PUTTING UP WITH THIS TODAY! THEY DESERVE THE VERY BEST FROM THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN! MICHELLE IS PROBABLY SNEAKING AROUND WITH THE GIRLS WORKING OUT THOSE SURPRISES FOR DAD TOMORROW!
Morning TODiers, I am worried Rusty will try to smoke around PBO. My President did quit smoking, so Boner watch out.
IF HE DOES…THE PREZ. CAN HANDLE IT….HE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING. I’M SURE THERE ARE LOTS OF SMOKERS HE HAS TO DEAL WITH AND YOU CAN SMELL IT ON A PERSON. WE HAVE A STRONG PRESIDENT….HE’S OK!
I hope he doesn’t smoke around PBO I have noticed PBO has been chewing gum a lately, probably Nicorette, he doesn’t need any temptation.
The mental picture of Eric Cantor or Mitch McConnell golfing cracks me up! The Prez and Biden are all athletic grace….Boehner and Kasich look like very typical country club golfers…..but Eric and Mitch…ROFL!!!
WELL…THE RAIN HAS CEASED…AND I ALREADY CANCELLED MY VOTER REG. TIME AT THE PARK DUE TO THE RAIN…SO I’M GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF THE DAY FEELING LIKE THE TURKEY THAT APPEARED IN PALIN’S COMMERCIAL!…:( SOMEBODY PASS THE LETTUCE AND MAYO!…LATER FRIENDS AND BLESSINGS!
blessed day Sue and register as many as possible
VP Joe looks good; first time I have seen him in shorts. The president is the only one sensible enough to wear a hat; everybody else will probably end the day looking like lboiled lobsters or orangeade (Boehner).
Interesting symbolism of PBO driving the cart: the one who serves also leads.
I transposed my log-on name and my email address; Chips please delete/correct for me.
Thanks
VP Joe looks great!
Below is the inevitable “optics” question about the golf date from ace reporter “ED HENRY” of CNN to Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday. In general, the reporters sound like nosy gossip columnists at a coffee klatch. And with the horse race mentality of the jackals, you know the main thing they want to know is the golf scores. You can bet they are looking for any opportunity to snap on PBO score. Everyone remembers the nonsense over his bowling scores. They are so shallow and childish it’s pathetic.
But first, for Ed Henry there is the problem of how this looks…….,……
ED HENRY OF CNN WITH THE INEVITABLE “OPTICS” QUESTION ……… (SIGH, with EYE ROLL and a SPARE ME)
Q Can I just ask one thing on the golf, which is it’s obvious that President wants to get some business done and have a conversation with John Boehner; obviously he sounds very positive. But there’s an image of golf as being kind of a rich-guy sport, and we’re in the middle of a recession. The President plays a lot of golf. What’s the President’s view on the image that’s projected when he and other powerful leaders are out on the golf course and a lot of Americans are out of work?
MR. CARNEY: I think that the important thing here, Ed, is that the President of the United States and the Speaker of the House of the United States — two of the most powerful leaders in this country, obviously, who are of different parties and have a great deal of business to do on behalf of the American people — are getting together in a social occasion — on a social occasion. They both play golf. A lot of Americans play golf.
And the — this is an opportunity that I think has value beyond the game — great value beyond the game. And it’s the kind of thing the President believes is useful for the leaders in Washington to do more frequently — not the game itself, but to sit across each other, or to engage with each other in a non-confrontational way, to sort out the business between them and the differences between them. So I think the good is significant here.
BTW: I love Jay Carney.
time for Henry to get another verbal bitch slap like the POB gave him a while back;was fracking priceless !
Ed Henry is a nobody and it’s time someone told him so. OT, I just found out Nora O ‘dennel left MSNBC for CBS chief whitehouse correspondent and will be the primary fill in for Bob sheifer on Face the nation. I think MSNBC will soon be irrevant or be takeover by morning Joke.
unfortunately I fear Joe will take over as well as resident racist Buchannan
The only person am left watching is Tweety on MSNBC, Tabloid Martin Bashir lost me after watching him twice, Lawrence lost me last night, and Rachel is in love with Michael Steel, so I rarely watch her.
yeah couldn’t believe LO’D invited Dan Choi out of all people last night
anyone has his email?
I think LO think’s less of Choi than he is letting on – but I may be wrong. I will keep a close watch as time goes on.
I have to admit to yelling and screaming at my tv when Laurence invited that raving lunatic back so that they could discuss the President’s “persecution” of Choi for that White House gate stunt he pulled
Didn’t Choi get an invite to the signing ceremony for DADT? Oh, if I could only be as “persecuted” as to get an invitation to a signing ceremony. Choi is a loser.
Choi chained himself at the White House fence
thelastword@msnbc.com
You tell him Fred!
can anyone find Choi’s tweet calling this President the worst President in LGBT history?
still trying to find that one out to email Laurence
go to TOD’s main page scroll down to the post entitle: ah, yes choi dated 6/17/2011. its right there. maybe you can copy and paste it in the body of your e-mail.
;
Who is Tweety? I still can’t figure this one out….
Yep Fred, I remember that, and It was oh so cool, I loved It. And the case was closed. Hot Dang!
I liked It.
me too Luci
Jay Carney is an EXCELLENT messager. He never buys into the right-wing framing.
Here’s an interesting piece on that technique:
http://www.thepeoplesview.net/2011/06/pivot-pivot-pivot.html
If you scroll down toward the bottom, you see the author uses an exchange from Carney as an example.
Great piece by Tien. Completely true.
Well they can’t play basketball Ed Henry, Obama’s guests would have a heart attack.
I hope the President never stops playing golf. What about the optics of Boehner having played several rounds of golf over the past two years with lobbyists and corporate interests, without trying to do one thing to help the American people?
You know, it’s a sorry state of things when the president has to take one of the few things that he gets to enjoy and use it as another way to deal with the boneheads around him who refuse to govern in a responsible manner, and on Father’s day weekend as well (sigh). He should be hanging out with his boys (his usual golf buddies).
This president is smart, he knows Rusty won’t be speaker of the house next year because he just gave him the Touch of Death on his back.
Yes, that famous “man hug” that Obama gives his Republican opponents.
Charlie Crist would still be better than that buffoon that is Rick Scott imho
Well, Crist decided to run for the senate instead of remain governor; a decision that ended up cost him his entire political career. the PBO man hug simply sealed his fate. Sad really.
I saw what he did there!
I hate to do this but in a way I couldn’t resist
Bristol Palin Lost Virginity Drunk, On Wine Coolers
The night Bristol Palin lost her V card to Levi Johnston was not real romantic — She was drunk on wine coolers, didn’t remember a thing, and when she woke up … Levi had split. Oh young love!
In excerpts from her memoir, “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far,” Bristol says she and Levi used condoms, but she got knocked up anyway. Levi’s reaction when she broke the news — “Better be a f**king boy.”
Bristol says her mom was kinda shocked, because she had no idea Bristol was sexually active.
When the doctors asked Levi — a real wordsmith — to cut the cord, he responded by saying, “gross,” and backed off. The honors were left to Sarah.
Bristol goes on to say Levi cheated on her constantly, coming home drunk, with hickeys on his neck. She says she finally ended things when Levi told her he got another girl pregnant and that Levi named the child Bentley, which was her first choice when they were naming Tripp.
The book comes out on Tuesday — Levi’s memoir comes out in the fall.
http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/18/bristol-palin-memoir-book-levi-johnston-drunk-virginity-pregnant/
I mean wine coolers?
couldn’t she have asked for some cheap wine instead? 
and how in the hell can she have a “memoir” out? 
The fact that this child has written a book and that anyone is reading it is a very sad commentary on the state of affair.
I don’t think this is the truth. Her and Levi was dating when she got pregnant. He was able to stay at the Palin’s house.Also , Sarah knew her daughter was sexually active, she just chose to ignore it.
hahahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahhahahahahahahahahhahhahahhhahahahahhahhahahahahhahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahhahahahhahahahahahhahhahhahhahhahhahahahahhahhhahahhahhaahhahhahahhahhahahhahahhahahahhahhahhahahahhahhahahhahhahahahahhahhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhahhahhahhahahhhahahhahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahhahahahhahhahahaha.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hmmmmmmmm.
This is funniest thing I have read all day. They are a true reality show – too bad there are still people who take these people seriously. Off to shop now (still chuckling).
Would that be the first or second boy? Just wondering!!!!
What does a sane person have to respond to this bullsh** except
I wonder if Baracuda from Wasilla approves of her daughter now allegedly dating a Black Guy, from disney forgot his name.
I guess Bristol is looking to have her very own “Barack Obama.”
The problem is that she’s no Stanley Ann Durnham. Not even close. And her parents (sarah and todd) are nothing like President Obama’s maternal grandparents.
he works at disney theme park or on disney network? the difference may make it more palatable for the Thrilla from Wasilla
;
so Bristol got a new face to go along with her new book! Boy the Palins seem to be spending all the new money on the right things- not!
Hahahahahaha PBO missed….he’s too sweet!!! Great shot Joe!!!! Aye who won?
CEB: “Interesting symbolism of PBO driving the cart: the one who serves also leads.
I was just thinking the same thing about PBO driving the cart in that last photo. I was also thinking about the fact that he is literally ALWAYS in the driver’s seat even when it looks like he isn’t.
Sorry, forgot the end quote…. where’s the edit button?
Orange man has ugly legs.
don’t see no hairs, do you think he shaves?
I knew someone would eventually say what I was thinking.
And Kasich looks like a stupid dork who doesn’t belong there. Ugh.
LOL. Now that you mentioned it, I went back to look at the photos, and now I’m thinking that as well!
Apparently Obama/Boehner won. I’m surprised Boner didn’t fudge the game just so Obama wouldn’t win even though they are ‘teammates’.
Good Afternoon TOD family. I love reading the comments and the articles. I love that last photo also. I also thought about the Speaker’s legs. Now go and look at our fine VPOTUS’s legs. Looking good Mr. President in anything you wear.
