Barack Obama has (in a good-natured manner) fired back at Michael Jordan for referring to the President as a ‘sh**ty golfer.

From the Charlotte Observer:

"The president was not impressed, saying Jordan “wasn’t very well informed about this.”“There is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am,” Obama told WJMR, a Wisconsin radio station. “Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.”And later …“He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or maybe the Hornets,” the president said. “But that’s a whole other issue.”"

This is very well played by Obama.

The obvious next development here is that Jordan and Obama get together for a round of golf. In Jordan’s original comments, he admitted he had never played with Obama.

"“I’ve never played with Obama, but I would,”Jordan told Ahmad Rashad during an appearance on Back9Network. “But, nah, that’s OK. I’ll take him out. He’s a hack. Man, I’d be all day playing with him.”"

As long as they don’t invite Charles Barkley and his notoriously horrible golf swing with them if/when they play, a Jordan-Obama golf game would be awesome to watch.
