Michael Jordan Says Barack Obama Is 'S----Y' at Golf

Dan CarsonOct 30, 2014

Michael Jordan gave his last care sometime in the mid-1980s and has delivered nothing but piping-hot, megalomaniacal sports takes ever since.

The Charlotte Hornets owner corked off his latest truth torpedo during a recent sit-down with Ahmad Rashad, saying in so many words that President Barack Obama is a slow, terrible golfer.

President Barack Obama addressed Jordan's remarks on a Wisconsin radio show Monday, according to Eye On Golf's Kyle Porter.

In so many words, the president told the hosts that Jordan is a more superior golfer than him but would be better served minding his own business:

"

Michael wasn't very well informed about this. I think he might've just been trying to give Ahmad a ratings boost...but there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course, if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case. He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcatsโ€”or the Hornets.

"

Shhh...justย let it Usher, Jordan. It's gonna be OK.

SB Nationโ€™s Michael Katz spotted video of the chat. Rashad prompted Jordan with the old โ€œWho would be in your ideal foursome?โ€ question.

Naturally, His Airness immediately dismissed Rashad from the equation, as pandering is not in his genetic structure. Next he picked Arnold Palmer and Barack Obama but quickly backtracked on the latter.

โ€œIโ€™ve never played with Obama, but I would,โ€ Jordan said. โ€œBut naw, thatโ€™s OK. I take him out. Heโ€™s a hack. Man, it would be all day playing with him.โ€

โ€œDo you really want to say that to the president of the United States? That heโ€™s a hack?โ€ Rashad asked.

โ€œYeah, donโ€™t worry about it. I never said he wasnโ€™t a great politician, Iโ€™m just saying heโ€™s a s----y golfer,โ€ Jordan said.

Jordan presumably went on to round out his dream foursome with Rory McIlroy, a clone of himself and a hologram of Teddy Roosevelt as an alternate.

This is Jordanโ€™s world, after allโ€”a place where having the launch codes doesnโ€™t make up for a bad slice.
