Isn’t it enough to Be the Best?

Tiger Woods is known for his reticence on political and social issues. Therefore, his response to the Dubai jounalist who asked his opinion of Barak Obama should come as no surprise. Tiger, in Dubai for the Dubai Desert Classic (which he is leading by two strokes at -7), responded:
“I’ve seen him speak. He’s […]
