Obama invited the billionaire mayor to play golf with him on Martha’s Vineyard last Friday. The president had been vacationing there.
The foursome at the Vineyard Golf Club also included White House trip director Marvin Nicholson and Washington powerbroker Vernon Jordan.
Bloomberg said Tuesday that the foursome had a friendly wager and that he and Obama lost. He did not say what the wager was or how much was bet. He insisted it was not a “substantive amount of money.”
Bloomberg has a fortune estimated at $18 billion.
All we can say, a bunch of losers….
Actually Vernon Jordan is a great golfer for somone of his age and has a relatively low handicap. Bloomberg is very competitive but from what I’ve seen on a few video clips, his swing is not anything to rave about but he has a good short game.l
isn’t betting illegal in the U.S.?
What a gang, Obama and Bloomberg. We in New York are double losers because we have both Obama and Bloomy. We need to get rid of both of them.
To no. 3:
Obviously not. There is a federal law prohibiting internet gambling but betting on horseracing is legal throughout the country and we have casinos in 18 states Doesn’t your shul or office have pool for the NCAA championships or even the weekend NFL games??
Obama and bloomberg are both out of touch
he is making such a mistake and he is himself a mistake. if he would serve truth and justice, he might make something of himself.
