Obama is in - Tiger is out..

[ddeclue]

Buick has fired Tiger as their spokesperson - they aren't sponsoring him any more on the golf tour after 10 years.

Interesting..

1. Only one "the Black" at a time.....

Or hadn't you heard?

2. If GM wants to cut costs why not cut

the CEO's pay? :shrug:

[awoke_in_2003]

20. That is why you will never make it in management...

you speak sensibly. You must not wear a tie for a living (they cut off oxygen to the brain :) )

[blonndee]

3. Bet they can't afford him any more.

I'm sure Buick isn't doing too well and they're slashing their ad budget. Celeb endorsements of the Tiger Woods caliber don't come cheaply.

6. Rachel said Tiger was being paid $8 mil a year. That's a lot of cabbage...(nt)

[lapfog_1]

7. $7 M per year

10 year deal... ending 1 year early.

I don't have a problem with them either seeking his endorsement, paying him $7M for his appearances, or cutting costs by terminating it early.

There is a good chance that he will not appear at any PGA events this year as his various surgeries heal and he has to learn to swing a club again.

4. Why keep a spokesman when there might not be any more Buicks anyway?

5. While they are at it they should fire Glen Beck as their ambassador.

8. I wish I had 1/millionth of Tiger's money

How much is that, like...a million dollars?

[ddeclue]

9. Tiger's new job? Head of the President's Council on Physical Fitness anyone? n/t

[RollWithIt]

10. This is such a moronic "conspiracy" thread... you do realize GM owns Buick....

And GM is broke. Buick is a completely dead brand. America doesn't make anything good anymore. That's the DU meme.

[ddeclue]

12. Who claimed any "conspiracy"???

:shrug:

You are reading too much into this...

Geez...

[firedupdem]

16. You say Obama is in......as in he's signed a contract to do the

commercials Tiger was doing? I'm lost...:shrug:

[ddeclue]

17. Again no that's reading too much into it..

It's like short hemlines are in... turquoise jewelry is out...

Not short hemlines are in because they are replacing long ones.

[democracy1st]

22. I got ur post it was a good sniping joke I'm sure you were not trying to send hidden messages

[crimsonblue]

11. Give me a break

Tiger was not fired. Let's get that straight. Stop reading too much into it.

[ddeclue]

13. He was "fired" about as much as anyone at his level ever is...

college or pro football coaches, cabinet secretaries, movie stars, CEO's etc...he wasn't hauled into Buick's head offices and given a card board box...they just aren't completing his contract.

[FrenchieCat]

14. I'm still trying to figure out what Obama has to do with Tiger......

other than the are both biracial hot men gifted in their respective fields.
That's what I'm still trying to figure out.

[ddeclue]

15. That's about all - oh and one is on the upswing while the other is on the downswing..n/t

[bridgit]

18. So you're saying Obama's on the fairway and Woods has sliced in a sand trap...

:dunce:

[Clio the Leo]

21. The only thing I can think of .....

.... is that they both have cool names.

[AspenRose]

19. If you have a copy of the Time commemorative edition with Obama on the cover

you'll notice Tiger is on the back :-)
