Soaked by storm clouds of controversy in the past week, President Barack Obama took two Cabinet secretaries out for a round of golf yesterday — in the rain.
The White House said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood joined the president at Andrews Air Force Base. LaHood is running the Transportation Department until the Senate confirms Obama’s choice of successor — Charlotte, NC, Mayor Anthony Foxx.
Reporters saw Sebelius climb into the president’s SUV before the motorcade left the White House. She’s overseeing the president’s health-care law.
Before he got into the vehicle, Obama looked up at the grey sky with an outstretched hand. A steady rain was falling by the time he arrived about a half hour later.
White House assistant chef Sam Kass completed the foursome.
