Bush says Obama shouldn’t be criticized for golf

Former President George W. Bush says President Barack Obama should not be criticized for the amount of golf he plays. …

“You know, I see our president criticized for playing golf. I don’t—I think he ought to play golf,” Bush says in the interview. “Because I know what it’s like to be in the bubble. And I know the pressures of the job. And to be able to get outside and play golf with some of your pals is important for the president. It does give you an outlet.” …

Obama attacks bush (blames him for the world’s problems) every chance he gets. And how does Bush respond? By sucking up to him!

Bush needs to travel to Russia and take some “man up” lessons from Putin.

Well, there goes the last little bit of respect I had for him.

It looks like the Washington Elite Establishment (WEE) is going into a panic mode over the delivery of the ‘Cruz Missile’ descending on their cozy little bunker.

They can shake the Bushes all day long to distract us but the American people are beginning to see the light and that light is called truth.

My two votes for Dubya are among my biggest regrets.

Back then, I just hadn’t fully accepted that there’s not a dimes worth of difference between the rats and the rinos.

I don’t think Dubya would criticize Zero if the SOB ran through the halls of the White House screaming allahu akbar, torching every room. It’s as if he has ascended, no longer concerned with worldly affairs, impervious to our suffering.

That is how I took it. I think all presidents should do things that they enjoy to get them out of the White House and relax.

I am sure obama abuses this by golfing, constantly campaigning, and celebrity parties at the White House each week. However, there is plenty of more important things to criticize him about.

The guy just has no fight in him, I guess what he thinks is being noble, I call being a pure elitist fool.

I no longer have any respect for him.

Pompous, aloft, above the fray is bullshit in these times when the future of the country hangs in the balance.

He could help make a difference, but he won't, the hell with him.

Lol.

Seems to be strange stuff going on every time I’m awake. Keep popping in and out of sugarland and falling asleep.

So he thinks Obama is under pressure in the bubble? Go figure.

“My two votes for Dubya are among my biggest regrets”, At the time did you have ANY other choice.

At the time did you have ANY other choice.

Dubya vs Gore or Kerry wasn't a choice. There's no difference between them.

The only real choices were to vote for (1) Dubya/Gore/Kerry (take your pick), (2) a 3rd party candidate or (3) not vote.

By the spring of 2012 as it became obvious the GOP was going to shove rino Romney down our throats, I had figured out that there was no real choice in a Presidential election between the Rats and the GOP. However, in a post on FR, I postulated that the GOP might be better at picking Supreme Court Justices. But, I went on to say that how the Supreme Court ruled on Obamacare in June, 2012, would tell the tale. Well, we know how that ruling turned out.

Like I said, there's not a dimes worth of difference between rats and rinos.

I think the point is, Mr. Bush, that BO’s job is golf. His “outlet” is POTUS.

Anybody have any stats on how many times Bush played golf vs how many times Obama has played? IIRC Bush wasn’t able to play much at all after the press went after him in ‘03 and ‘04.

That’s the way I see it....Reagan was a hard act to follow, but he was our last real President.
