Barack Obama's Chicken Wing of a Golf Swing

It is slowly becoming a rule in the presidency that if you're going to stand behind that seal, you better know how to stand behind a five-footer.

White House hopeful and confirmed baller Barack Obama appears to enjoy his time on the links, hitting some shots around Hawaii that KGMB-9 TV caught for all to see.

While he sure can pull off that snazzy khaki and white shirt look, the golf swing could use an extremely large amount of work. His swing (beginning at the 1:02 mark) starts off fairly well, but once he gets it halfway back, it almost looks like some invisible being yanks him forward. Following through almost straight vertical, the ball looks like it's on the quick route off the golf course.

Take a look yourself and give us your golf swing advice. Maybe Obama will be the first president ever told to take two weeks off and quit the game.
