President Barack Obama, Michael Jordan Feud? Huge Golf Battle Between Two Of America's Most Powerful Men
President Barack Obama is one of the most powerful men in the world, but he's going toe-to-toe with NBA legend Michael Jordan, who owns the Charlotte Hornets. What would these men fight over? Women, money or power? Nope, it's all about golf.
Last week M.J. said: "I've never played with Obama, but I would. But - nah, that's OK. I'll take him out. He's a hack. Man, I'd be all day playing with him." After further questioning about what he'd said, he replied, "Don't worry about it. I never said he's wasn't a great politician, I just said he's a s***** golfer."

Perhaps Obama has bigger concerns and would let it fly, nope. Barack has hit out at the legend, and he's held nothing back. Obama replied, saying, "Mike and I, we know each other but I've never played golf with him. Michael wasn't very well informed about this, I think he might've just been trying to give Ahmad [Rashad] an extra ratings boost on his show. But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case. He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats ... or the Hornets."
At the time of Barack hitting back, the Hornets sat at 1-3, struggling indeed, and it seems Obama wasn't about to let Jordan forget that was he? Will Jordan fire back, and how will the pair settle this dispute- perhaps with a game of golf?
