    Tiger Woods = President in 2028?
    I was watching his tourney today and seeing him help out with the kiddies, the troops and talk about issues, etc, when suddenly, I had a thought.

    Could Tiger Woods be a future President?

    Think about it.. This guy is gonna be positioned well in the coming years. Everyone loves him, he does a great deal of charity work and will be worth 2.5 Billion OR MORE by then.

    He will NOT need to "be in bed with" special interest to raise funds. He is loved/respected by Democrats and Republicans alike. The barrier for an African American President has already been broken with Obama so race will not be an issue.

    If Obama talked about Post Partisan Politics, Tiger could really usher that in. The man has tremendous character, great charisma and shows the focus and determination of any great leader. His business acumen and charity endeavors alone make him qualified and respected enough to at least entertain the notion.

    Maybe starting off as a Senator would be best. But in the next 18 or 19 years, he could slowly build up a knowledge of world issues and make the necessary associations to build a consensus behind him.

    Not sure which party affiliation he has, but perhaps he could run as an Independent and truly shake up the way things are done in Washington. He would definitely have friends on both sides of the aisle.

    Not sure if he would actually consider such a thing, but many other former athletes have entertained the political arena.

    Plus, being President would sure be a lot better than being on the Senior PGA Tour...

      I just don't see the Senior tour as a challenge for him... Maybe he transitions into being a course designer or something, but the guy will ALWAYS want a challenge and at that stage of his life, why not go to the HIGHEST stage for a great challenge?

          KIDDING

          I was all getting ready to say, "Yeah, we have one now, silly," and then I saw the KIDDING in white.

            Nope, try Lance Armstrong after he takes the Texas Governorship.

                He doesn't strike me as someone who would have any interest in the job.

                      Yeah - the Rep party is also desperate enough.

                        Really? I think he would have tremendous interest. He is doing more and more charity work and showing a great deal of care for our troops.

                        The guy is gonna do more and more to spread his wings and I could see him at least entertaining the idea of making a run for it.

                        For someone who is so concerned about history/legacy, that may be all that's left for him to accomplish in 20 years or so.

                        After accomplishing every major feat in golf and building a vast empire of business interests, the Presidency may be staring straight at him in the future. Judging by his on-field demeanor, we can ascertain that he'd be one heck of a Statesman...

                              This thought has actually been entertained in jokes. Its actually one of his future options albeit not at the top of the list. With the barrier broken and knowing that Barack is good people, the possibility increases. He would obviously have a good shot at winning but thinks it would be a lock with me as a running mate.

                                I just think that with all the power the guy is getting and the knowledge of world affairs and social causes he can amass in the next couple of decades, he would be in a great position to run... Plus, he will be worth about 2.5 Billion by that time, so no need to suck up to raise funds

                                He could be the ultimate Independent/Centrist...

                                  Why would he want to change his lifestyle? Let's see he's got a super model wife, two gorgeous kids, a yacht, unlimited golf, season tickets to the Magic. The only thing I'd change would be the Magic ducats. Upgrade to Laker season seats.

                                  My guess is the closes he'll get to president is when he plays golf with Obama.

                                      To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if Michelle Obama winds up being elected POTUS in 2016.

                                      The majority of voters are now brain-dead vegetables.

                                            I'd vote for a Fuzzy/Tiger ticket if they ran either as Libertarians or Anarchists.
