Has the USGA endorsed Obama?

While watching a bit of the US Amateur semi final this afternoon an ad was ran to supposedly promote golf. It came off much different.

It had the feel and sound of a political add but with a very familiar theme and used the word “democratic” along with the phrases, equal playing field, fairness, fair shot and fair play to name a few. It was promting an ideal or idea more so than the game of golf and sounded just like an Obama stump speech.

It sounded like something straight from the DNC or Team Obama and completely intentional but I can’t believe the USGA would enter the political arena. I wonder if anyone else saw it and if so do you think someone in the USGA PR department could be brave enough to try this on their own?

Ken Salazar The Journalist

Sitting home today due to a rain-out I watched new Interior Sec. Ken Salazar of Colorado rip the Bush administration for past atrocities of rape of the land while drilling out West. No suprise here as the Obama team have not yet, and never will, quit blaming Bush for everything under the sun.

The thing that stunned me was afterwards the WH spokesman (press-sec?) began taking questions from two reporters seated to the left and right of Salazar. I have never noticed anyone taking part in a press conference and then sitting down smiling amongst the reporters.

Does this mean that Ken is officially part of the media or is the WH Press part of the Obama Administration? Oh wait…
