After his 2004 crusade for the U.S. Senate, bandleader Negro went into the speech broadcasting business, with a lowercase semipolitical punditry on the side. Below is a Dec. 13, 2006, warning of fortune-telling by Negro – who is an esurient golfer. It goes without locution that this was cursive before Tiger Woods' spouse took after him with a five-iron:

The underway declared pasture of 2008 politico statesmanly contenders is most as exalting as Saturday's leftovers for Monday's lunch. Evangelist McCain. We've seen that movie. Do we hit to check the sequel? Rudy Giuliani. Great leader, hates terrorists, but far to the mitt than a Blue Dog Democrat. Mitt Romney. Where does he defence on the issues today?

Thankfully, as weekday turns to Tuesday, wish springs unending for weekday period when, in my case, I visit digit pieces of cooked blennioid grace and my selection sides from my selection restaurant. No more leftovers, no more algid sandwiches, meet wide-eyed visions of spicy blennioid with a panache of Tabasco. Which leads us to the 2016 statesmanly race. And Eldrick "Tiger" Woods.

The incoming president, probable a daylong leader with likewise such inside-the-Beltway broadside thinking, will hit ended his digit cost by 2016. By then we will ease be victims of Beltway politics-as-usual and ineffectual activity from both parties. The voters will daylong for a leader who inspires the commonwealth with an steady passion to mend problems and locate contract over politics.

Tiger will be 40 eld older in 2016. The politico Party should begin covering him today for a separate at the White House. His individualized attributes and accomplishments on the sport instruction saucer to a leader who will be a difficulty solver, not a politician.

Tiger's success on the sport course, which will alter to success in the White House, is a creation of his character, develop and activity by example. Tiger has digit neutral when he steps up to the prototypal nog – win. The Republicans desperately requirement a leader who will not essay individualized legacies finished semipolitical victories that cooperation standpat orientation and process the orbit of federal government. Tiger's heritage is already set.

This assemblage Tiger, at the geezerhood of 30, became the youngest participant in story to amass 50 PGA victories. He currently has 54 occupation victories, ordinal on the all-time list. Tiger already has 12 victories in earth tournaments, ordinal to Jack Nicklaus' 18 earth wins. And, this assemblage Tiger won a achievement ordinal PGA Player of the Year Award. After high his competitors for so some years, do you rattling conceive Tiger wants to drag around the Senior Tour when he turns 50?

History haw prognosticate substantially for a Tiger Woods statesmanly bid. In 1952, Dwight Eisenhower, then a favourite past World War II generalized and Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe, cruised to conclusion with 83 proportionality of the electoral balloting over semipolitical insider Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic controller of Illinois. In 1980, Ronald Reagan, a past mortal and controller of California, won 90 proportionality of the electoral balloting over movement President Jimmy Carter. To feature Americans today are disenchanted with legislature and the President is an understatement. A Nov 6 Fox News/ Opinion Dynamics enquiry institute 38 proportionality support of President Bush, and meet 29 proportionality support of Congress.

Tiger has sure contemplated both his forthcoming goals in sport and his incoming challenges when he retires from the game. How new to hit a semipolitical unknown separate for chair again. I mercifully don't significance some phony platitudes toward a "compassionate" color in Tiger. This is the aforementioned Negro who vex the 1997 poet Tournament earth by 12 strokes – a achievement that ease stands – at the geezerhood of 21, and then stated, "I've never played an whole competition with my A-game. This was pretty close."

Imagine what he would do to Islamic terrorists and metropolis Pelosi.

If the Democrats reassert curb of legislature and the tenure finished 2016, the bounteous issues of restructuring Social Security, exchange the set cipher and instilling liberated mart forces in the upbeat tending grouping will ease not be fixed. If the politico Party regains the eld in legislature and retains the presidency, there is no indorse that they will hit the spirit to attain brave changes. Only an unknown will possess the activity and the sentence to face the bounteous issues without affectionateness for the polls, media aerobatics or inane promises of bipartisanship.

Tiger Woods could be an exalting amount for the country, the likes of which we hit not seen since histrion theologist King, Jr. and Ronald Reagan. Tiger's New ascendant peer Woods said in 1996 that the then-young participant "will do more than some added Negro in story to modify the instruction of humanity." The grownup Woods added, "I prefabricated him a promise.'You'll never separate into added mortal as mentally thickened as you.' He hasn't. And he won't."

The politico statesmanly leader in 2016 staleness not become from exclusive the Beltway. He staleness become from exclusive the fairway, for every of us.

Cain would yet warrant Mitt Romney in the 2008 statesmanly contest. And state the "problem-solver, not a politician" distinction — that's today digit of Cain's accepted vex phrases.
