The real reason Romney lost

[Liquid Karma]

It's the golf, stupid

Here’s the scorecard for the race to the White House since 1980:

1980: Ronald Reagan (golfer) defeats Jimmy Carter (non-golfer)
1984: Ronald Reagan defeats Walter Mondale (non-golfer)
1988: George H.W. Bush (golfer) defeats Michael Dukakis (non-golfer)
1992: Bill Clinton (golfer) defeats George H.W. Bush
1996: Bill Clinton defeats Bob Dole (non-golfer)
2000: George W. Bush (golfer) defeats Al Gore (non-golfer)
2004: George W. Bush defeats John Kerry (non-golfer)
2008: Barack Obama (golfer) defeats John McCain (non-golfer)
2012: Barack Obama defeats Mitt Romney (the anti-golfer)

Meaningless, yet amusing. 1992 is the only time a golfer lost.

GHWB was a bigger golfer than Clinton...but yeah, that is weird.

Has President Obama become more of a golfer since 08? I don't remember him being much of a golfer (not that I would have) when he was a Senator or candidate.

They don't just let black people play on any course. You'd have to be the President or something.

Why don't people play golf ? So dumb not to play golf.
