Hey's "Birthers"!...That ain't Sarah Palin's baby...

Did anybody watch Tiger's speech yesterday? Think it has any merit or was it purely made for the sake of his "brand"?

brett 636,
This reply is not directed at you. I laugh when everyone refers to "Tigers Brand" ---they talk about him as though he was so squeaky clean before the knowledge of the affairs.
If you have ever been to a major Golf Tournament --in person --not on TV --for many many years --the true Brand was always obvious.
When Tiger was on the green and missed a putt --every curse you can possibly think of ---loudly in front of all --particularly young children ---That is the "role model" people use to rave about.
No one dared to say anything bad about Tiger because of his great Golfing skill.
For me personally --I always saw him as a spoiled dirtbag long before his "TRUE" self appeared.
I could care less about his cheating --that is between him and his family ---I just laugh at the public and Corporate Sponsers who now claim his clean image has been damaged ?????

I've never understood why anyone looks to sports figures as life role models. I enjoy watching their skill. End of story.

bbsam,
Not disagreeing with you --they are not my role models --they should ask me for my autograph---
But unfortunately " sponsers" pay millions and millions of bucks to these people who represent a "Brand"--In Tiger's case it was supposedly clean --all American family man ----my point was he has been a dirt bag for many years with his outbursts and foul language ---it seemed before his adultery became public --you could not say anything bad about the Tiger !!!

We are in agreement. But from what I've heard, Tiger's behavior has been rampant on the circuit for decades by him and others. I guess it just doesn't shock or disturb me. What does amaze me is that the general public continues over and over to look to sports stars, political leaders, celebrities of all caliber to find some kind of model for living and over and over they come away disappointed. At some point the ownership of that disappointment has to fall in the individual. Unless of course it's all sanctimonious outrage and really Americans just like to see a good car wreck.

here's the wording from an email I recieved. Obviously some partisan spin to it but some good points none the less:

Sorry if this offends anyone but it's just the facts..............

This would be laughable if it wasn’t so disgusing So, Let's Recap "2009".........what a year!

1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated. (honest mistake?)

2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. (An honest mistake?!)

3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socio-economic factors involved!)

4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!)

5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!)

6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake???)

7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm... Another screw-up?)

8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)

9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!)

10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed. (Dear God, I am getting a headache!)

All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . But who's counting? America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!"

The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo! Pray for our country.

Here's the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR. Don't you just love hypocrites?

Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city, he failed.

Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming, he failed.

Obama went to new Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed,

Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.

Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator, he failed.

Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.

Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance. He must miss Reverend Wright!

And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack. In these times 'I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money.

Anyone that supports this insanity can keep "THE CHANGE".

His first official act was an executive order that blocks anyone from seeing his sealed personal records.
