With Oprah throwing her weight behind Barack Obama, Will Smith practically declaring he’s willing to endorse any one who will have him, and Sean Penn going … well, crazy Sean Penn, there’s only one thing missing from this presidential race.
When is the best golfer in history, the top athlete on the planet really (with apologies to Roger Federer), going to stick even a little toe into world affairs.
Tiger has been around long enough, dominated more than consistently enough, to be comfortable stepping into the fray. I don’t want to hear anything about Woods having to worry about his endorsements and not offending anyone. Tiger’s bullet proof when it comes to racking in big corporate bucks - or big Dubai bucks.
Besides, Tiger’s shown he’s not afraid to offend. See his rightful blast of soccer.
It’s time for Tiger to use his influence for something besides making himself crazy money, putting his name on junior golf academies and slapping down big-mouthed fools like Woody Austin.
In a time when no one can agree on anything, almost everyone seems to concede that the 2008 Presidential Election is going to be the most important election of this era.
It doesn’t matter which side or which candidate Tiger chooses to back. Personally, I’d think it’d be hilarious (and true to much of his actions) if he endorsed a Republican. Giuliani seems like a Tiger choice (Rudy certainly has that overbearing Steve Williams view on security, he’d probably slap the fan who’s camera he yanked).
It would be fine if Tiger endorsed some obscure Green Party candidate though. Does the Green Party even have a candidate this time?
Heck, Tiger could stay out of the whole fray and just urge young 20-something golfers to vote.
Just do it. Something. Anything.

THIS GUY NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING...MOVE ON! VOTE FOR ANYONE ELSE! http://www.obamatruth.org/ "Barack Obama continues his hard-edged, negative campaign - against his own staff. Passing blame down to anonymous staff ranks has become something of a tic for Obama. Obama pointed the finger at unidentified campaign schedulers when he had to address a New Hampshire firefighters union by telephone, instead of meeting with them in person. Obama told the gathering. "My staff had scheduled things and “they” couldn't wiggle out if it. And after media attention turned to the "Hillary Clinton Obama's campaign was producing bogus research memos/statements about Clinton's such as lies about having ties to the Indian-American community, Obama called the "unnecessarily caustic" document a "dumb mistake on our campaign's part" HE STARTED THE LIES AND NEGATIVE POLITICS…A former cocaine junkie and muslim. WE DO NOT WANT THIS GUY LEADING OUR GREAT COUNTRY; MAYBE LEAD HARPO PRODUCTIONS, SINCE HES OPRAHS DREAM… WAKE UP AMERICA! Its time we stop playing with Oprah and elect a QUALIFIED PRESIDENT!!! not just a man because he’s black and oprah says so,
