Tiger Woods has one powerful person rooting for his comeback: the leader of the free world.
President Barack Obama weighed in on the golfer's rough several months with an optimistic note.

"Tiger has acknowledged that he betrayed his family and that's a personal issue they've got to work out," Obama told Fox News on Wednesday.
"I hope they work it out and that he returns to golf," the President said, adding that Woods "is still going to be a terrific golfer."

Tell Us What You Think
14I was so disappointed. He was JUST answering a question???? He didn't have to answer any question, for God's Sake. He is the president of the USA; he shouldn't be asked and he shouldn't answer this kind of questions. He has, or at least should have, more important things to do. Doesn't he have advisers? Well, if he doesn't he realy needs one. When asked about this matter he should have politely declined to answer or simply smile and say:"I have a (sinking)country to run"! Next time he is going to be asked about other couples in Hollywood. He bought this. He thinks he is a star, but he is te president. Get real!
Like other people said, Obama was just answering a question that Fox asked. Come ON, people. It's FOX NEWS. What do you expect? They're too showbiz and not enough news.
ANY HAPPILY MARRIED MAN/WOMAN WHO WISH ANOTHER COUPLE WELL! Haters-shut-up You lonely old hags!
He was asked a question, he answered, what is wrong with that? He is doing the best he can with the situation in the country. Running for President, I have come to realise is the easiest part of that job. God help him.
HELLO LEADER OF THE "FREE WORLD" GET BACK TO WORK ON THINGS THAT MATTER AND FORGET ABOUT TIGER AND HIS MANY TRANGRESSIONS!!! GET TO WORK ON HELPING OUR UNEMPLOYED, HOMELESS PEOPLE, PEOPLE LOOSING THEIR HOMES, HUNGRY CHILDREN, NATIONAL SECURITY, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ETC.!!
Well, maybe you could employ the South Park method... destroy the alien wizard hiding in Liberty Hall and everyone will be free from the evil sex addiction epidemic. Then everything will be alright.
why is he always trying to ACT LIKE A celebrity he is not one... GO RUN THE COUNTRY ,,, !!!
He was asksed a question and answered it. What must he say.."no comment" People forget that he is also a human being that feels for others in crisis! get over yourselves..seriously!
That's Obama's opinion, and he's entitled to it!
Obama, you're being dumb to concern yourself with Tiger. Can you please focus on creating jobs?
I am pretty sure that our president cannot control what he is asked about. I don't think he just offered his opinion with no one asking for it.
It seems to me that JOBS, NATIONAL SECRURITY and STOPPING THE ILLEGAL CONGRESS..would be more along the lines of things our 1/2 black so called president should be worried about.
Obama should concern himself with fixing our economy, giving us universal health care and keeping us safe from terrorists. Tiger Woods should be the last thing coming out of this man's mouth!
And WhY is Bama weighing in on the golfer's twisted mess - HeLlO! Lets focus on the US of A - your not hollywood dude -
