Barack Obama reaches out to the 'GOAT of Golf'

Barack Obama @BarackObama 31m
Sending my prayers to @TigerWoods and his family tonight—here’s to a speedy recovery for the GOAT of golf. If we’ve learned anything over the years, it’s to never count Tiger out.

He always tries to do the right thing.

I don’t like Tiger Woods. I don’t think he is a good person. I’m glad he didn’t sustain life threatening injuries. That’s all I have to say about it.

...is his concern for the man and his family, without any apparent reference or regard to his past trangressions.

That's why I posted it.

I’m not a golfer or a fan, but I was amazed at some of the stuff I read.

All of it was very on brand. Plus, if you get between some folks and their main lining of politics/cable news into their veins 24/7 there is usually hell to pay.

I think you may have hit that particular nail right on the head.
