OBAMA AS "RECONCILIATOR"?

We need reconciliators as well as confrontors. Tiger is someone that brings us together. That is why America voted for President Obama as well.

Tiger Woods and politics

Tiger has his opinions, just like anybody else, but he stays away because that is not what he does. He is a golfing great and sticks to his profession.

The trouble with our society today is that people tend to stick their noses into places where they don't belong. Who cares if Tiger is a rep or dem. He is one of the greatest golfers in the world.

Nothing makes me more mad than some celebrity sticking their nose into the political scene. Leave that to the talking heads on the liberal controled media.

Tiger

Just for a laugh - wouldn't it be funny if Tiger was a Republican - they really wouldn't want him to speak up. What most of America wants is not to have politics shoved down our throats. The media and Hollywood really are more liberal than most Americans, and it hacks many of us to see the condescending attitude from people who have made money off of our interest in their art or sport or whatever - thinking we are a bunch of idiots that need eduction on how to think.

What is appealing about Tiger is that he acts on his convictions and doesn't just talk about them. Injustice must always be addressed, but eventually most Americans want there to be no division between the races. We need reconciliators as well as confrontors. Tiger is someone that brings us together. That is why America voted for President Obama as well.
