President Obama And Speaker John Boehner Hit The Links

In a rare attempt to show some bi-partisan unity, President Obama and Speaker of the House Boehner got together to shoot a friendly round of golf.  The President wanted to play at a public course but the Speaker said it would be a waste of taxpayer's money, especially given the President's handicap. Instead, they played at the Speaker's ritzy country club.  When they entered the lobby, security personnel from the club immediately pulled the Speaker aside to remind him of the membership restrictions.  Mr. Boehner explained that it was okay because his golf partner was the President of the United States. But the staff was skeptical and demanded to see his birth certificate. When they reached the first tee, any semblance of cooperation soon dissipated.  The Speaker shanked his first shot into the deep rough on the right while the President proceeded to slice his into the trees on the left.  Predictably, it was a very long and boring game as neither one of them hit a ball down the middle of the fairway all afternoon.
