Obama and some of his 1% buddies are living it up in Palm Beach. As for the rest of America, not so much...
PALM CITY, Fla.
— President Obama got some tips Saturday from Tiger Woods’s former
swing coach during the first day of a guys’ weekend golf outing here on
Florida’s Atlantic coast, which included three men who have contributed
to his past political campaigns.
Also in the Saturday group was Milton Carroll, another Houston
businessman who is chairman of CenterPoint Energy, a public-utility
holding company. Carroll, too, has given to Obama’s presidential
campaigns, though not on the same scale.
Rounding out the group were Eric Whitaker, a Chicago doctor who is
one of Obama’s oldest and closest friends, and departing U.S. Trade
Representative Ron Kirk.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Butch Harmon,
Woods’s swing coach for more than a decade during some of his early
glory years, joined the group for several holes and provided tips – not
that it was clear any of them needed it. Woods and Harmon parted ways in
2004 on not the best of terms.
