Odd that he seems to loathe Tiger Woods so.

We'll skip over the blatant misogyny for the moment*.

Ed Morrissey gives us some context on Reverend Wright, which is only surprising in that the reverend seems to be especially worked up about, of all things, the success of a sports star:

For every one Tiger Woods, who needs to get beat, at the Masters, with his cap, blazin’ hips playing on a course that discriminates against women. God has his way of bringing you up short when you get to big for your cap, blazin britches. For every one Tiger Woods, we got 10,000 black kids who will never see a golf course.

Mind you, Mr. Woods actually tries to do something about that. Which may, in fact, be the problem here: or at least, the way that he's going about doing it. Flipping through the foundation pages, I saw quite a bit about making a positive change and nothing at all about blaming other people for one's problems. Go figure, huh?

Ed references the First Rule of Holes in his tease-quote. Senator Obama's supporters should start hoping that someone in his campaign has the audacity to read Hot Air.

Can RedState provide Wright with a daily column?

Herein lies Obama's problem. To make it as a person of color in Chicago, he had to become officially black via the Right Very Reverend Wright. Tiger Woods didn't go through the motions, of course, so he is an oppressor rather than a victim. Never mind that he actually does something to improve the lives of black children, Woods isn't annointed. Obama, who never did anything other than advance his political career, played the Chicago game. As a result he is a contender for the presidency who did nothing for urban Chicago children. Yet he has the imprimatur of the Rev. Wright, Oprah, and everyone else who can fit--never mind how barely--into the left-wing clown car. Woods had the gall to do something on his own without official sanction. He is condemned in certain circles but beloved. Obama doesn't face that condemnation but the love is about to dry up.

No matter how attractive he was, Obama deserves it. Woods doesn't care.

The difference between Obama and Woods... by mikefisk

...is that Tiger Woods doesn't recognize himself as a black man, but rather has repeatedly said in public that he considers himself an individual of a remarkably diverse heritage (whereas Obama seems to either disregard or even denigrate the white members of his family, i.e. his grandmother). Woods is, in corporeal form, the crux of people of various backgrounds coming together, something that Reverend Wright's Black Liberation Theology can't come to grips with. Hence the vitriol.

It Was Only a Matter of Time That Tiger's Name Would Come Up by Spartan4Life

Since they are trying to portray Obama as some kind of Messianic figure, it was only a matter of time before they had to bring up Tiger, the most recognizable American of color around the world. I think it is shameless to somehow try to diminish his greatness. The biggest differences between Obama and Woods is that Tiger has actually accomplished things. Barry just likes to talk.

Talk About Undeserved Cheap-Shots by Repair Man Jack

Tiger does his job. He doesn't ask Rev. Wright to rig these golf matches on his behalf. He goes out and kicks Phil M's 4th Pt of Contact. He came in 2nd out of a field of 41 of the best golfers on the planet. I'd like to see Rev. Wright or Sen. Obama accomplish something not involving lying or shooting off their mouths.

Hey Moe, this is delicious. by Tim Schieferecke

His "for every one" "we got 10,000" reminds me of a ratio pretty close to that. For every superdelegate, the Democrat Party has 10,000 or more disenfranchised voters! I think it's funny when a lib complains about our winner takes all primaries when they have an unholy see to elect their nominees. Why do they even bother having a Democrat Party?

....receiving $700,000 a year to provide a single Chicago child one albuterol inhaler($9.00 or therabouts) a month.
Yes indeed, a fine example of Chicago charity.

Tiger Woods.... by From ME to you

let's his actions do the talking on and off the course. He has probably done more for kids of all colors through his foundation than most Democrats. He also raised the game of golf to a new level, I am constantly amazed at his abilities. His father had every right to be proud of him, he is truly a class act.
