Yes, I think Obama encompasses the American dream also, hopefully his integrity and self worth are better the tigers, however, not ever kid believes he can grow up to be president, an athlete however, seems much more attainable.

As a former athlete who played sports at a rather high level but not the highest in my sport, it isn't easy to attain, is it harder than becoming President, no idea, but most kids who dream of being athletes end up like me, toiling in minor leagues wondering what went wrong.

You don't know me, or my husband, therefore, of course I don't matter to you, however, something about tiger interests you or you would not be posting here either. It's all cool, I don't think his a miscreant personally, I just think he really f**ked up. And were I famous, say like Lindsey Vonn, or well maybe Bullock, you may find that a bit more intriguing as most of us do, like a peek behind the curtains of somebody's life, especially somebody we envy or find impressive, if people weren't curious, magazine wouldn't sell, hell half the world wouldn't sell.

People don't know Tiger either, I mean some do, but most passing judgement on his character don't, they just know what the Nancy Grace's of the world have on her 'news program'. Tigers golf game is of interest to me, like I said before I don't care what athletes do on their own time, Pete Rose bet on baseball, Bob Probert got caught with coke, Grant Fuhr same thing, Michael Vick fought some dogs, MIchael Irvin smoked some crack, Kevin Stevens smoked crack with a hooker in a hotel room, doesn't take away from what they did or do in their chosen fields and didn't change my opinion of them. I do agree he did fuck up with his actions, but he isn't the first athlete or public figure to cheat and he won't be the last.
