Did You Know...

President Obama, Sheriff Joe Biden, John Boehner and John Kasich hit the links this morning. What does this mean for America (other than in the unlikely event a meteor were to strike the course, Daniel Inouye would be president)? I have no idea:

The long-awaited golf showdown between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner is underway this morning: The pair, along with with Vice President Joe Biden and GOP Ohio Gov. John Kasich, hit the links around 10 a.m. Saturday at Joint Base Andrews.

It’s a skins game — unfortunately the skin is ours:

SAO PAULO (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for U.S. economic growth on Friday and warned Washington and debt-ridden European countries that they are “playing with fire” unless they take immediate steps to reduce their budget deficits.

Fore!

Update: More on the round here.
