President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years.

“...now watch this drive...”
“People are losing their jobs to the evil banks, now watch my swing.”
I am waiting for Michael Moore movie with Obama playing golf while soldiers die... I know, i’ll be waiting a long time because the left are hypocrites.
He needs time to smoke cigarettes.
His Neronian Majesty’s preoccupation with his pastimes must relate to his exalted self-image in some way. Time to cue to psycho-historians.
Unlike President Bush, Osama can’t think about policy and golf at the same time.
The *real* reason some sort of concrete decision on Afghanistan takes weeks instead of days or hours.
The more golf he plays, the safer we are. Keep workin’ on that handicap Zero, maybe in 2012 you can go pro!
I’m curious about his parties. Seems like he has a couple parties every week; between ‘dates’ with his wife flying one jet airliner out somewhere, so he can fly AF1 out to join her later.
How many times did GW visit the troops? And how many times a year does Pres. Zero visit his Generals who are in charge of conducting that war?
You do have a point there, Retro. I’m hoping he’ll have all the time in the world to hit the links in 2012.
Better him playing golf then working on national issues.
Sandy: Carl I want you to kill all the gophers on the golf course
Carl Spackler: Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key.
Sandy Not golfers, you great fool. Gophers. THE LITTLE BROWN, FURRY RODENTS
Pray for America's Freedom
Yeah, but i bet he hasn’t cleared nearly as much brush as Bush has!
Didn’t Bush give up golf because he didn’t want to be seen on the Golf course during a war? I guess Obama has no concern about that.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” George W. Bush
I don’t know, but I definitely remember the left caterwauling about Bush playing golf “instead of working”,
and here Barry has played more in his 9 months than Bush in his entire term.
And of course, nary a peep from the left.
I would love it if some firebrand member of Congress were to get up on the floor of the House or Senate and say “0 plays golf while American troops die!” Unfortunately I don’t know if any members there other than Joe Wilson maybe would have the guts. Just imagine the firestorm that would follow. The other side would scream bloody murder about the hate speech. But it would be accurate, unlike the loony rantings of Rep Alan Grayson.
Say this golf ball is the globe, I pick it up and hold it in the palm of my hand...........
CNN reports that “dear leader” hit 18 holes in one!
Another little example of the hypocrisy of the media and the lack of knowledge by the American people
As in all things B.O., it was reported that he cheats so much at golf that yesterday he scored a hole-in-one and put down a zero on the scorecard.
I could care less what a POTUS does in recreation or vacation they are on duty 24/7.
But Obama truly seems to be doing nothing for our economy and job losses but spend money meaninglessly like a kid in a candy store.
He has nothing but radical agendas.Even clash for clunkers is a failure. History will say he ruined our country but got a cool puppy and played golf and had date nights while the country was depressed. He also got a prize for downgrading America.
it’s his way of not going to church.
Now imagine if the so called media actually did their job, I know that is a dream but lets dream for a while.
“Hey Mr President you spent 20 years i that so called church where many comments were anti American and racist towards whites. Well why have you not got a church to go to yet?”
Now I wonder how this bozo would deal with that question without his teleprompter
How long until the race-baiters start referring to him as an “Oreo.”
Politico is slamming Obama left and right. Did the magik wear off?
I seem to remember Bush 41 playing golf the entire month of August 1990 while Saddam invaded Kuwait. Couldn’t bother himself to go to Washington to organize the marshalling of forces.
Because he can't find a church like Rev Wright's church, and even if he could, he'd be under too much scrutiny.
it seems his wife is on vacation every week. Have you or anyone seen her in a role that resembles the first lady role?
I mean not the one hour white house garden with kids form DC but I mean her flying by herself around this country promoting a charity , doing charity work, helping others etc?
I have not but I wait to be corrected , I mean what role in charities is she doing anyway, Laura did education and reading, Hillary did womens rights etc. Just what on earth is this MO doing besides vacation with her freeloading family
Melody Barnes, President Barack Obama's chief domestic policy adviser, left, and White House trip director Marvin Nicholson carry their golf clubs as they prepare to leave the White House, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009 to play golf with President Obama.
Need we forget how the Dims and the MSM would pile on top of Bush when he would travel out to his ranch once or twice a year, when congress was not in session.
Now we have Obummer playing golf every other weekend while the country is going to S@$&, and I don’t hear the Dims or MSM making a big deal about that.
that is why it is up to us to get the message out at every chance.
I’ve struck up conversations in waiting rooms, fairs, events etc with folks I have just met.
I usually make a comment to get to see where they stand like”I wish I could afford a little more but the way this economy has gone in the last few months I have no money(which is true) I suppose if your in the white house having dance night, band night and date night plus having every weekend off playing golf it is alright for them “
Most of the time I get folks who agree who I then carry on pointing out hypocrisies and believe me many do not know about them and they are thankful they found the info out.
We have to give up on this so called media, it is down to us to get the message out.
Dear America - Love all this change you gave us last November. Thanks again! Sincerely, Voters Who Saw It Coming
very true B and we know the truth but to see him try to answer a decent question for a change would be nice
If only someone could have seen this coming and warned people before last Nov 4.... Oh wait, WE DID!
Don’t know how much the rest of you are paying for gas but yesterday around here it was up to 2.85! Article in the paper said it was up 17 cents just in a couple of weeks. So where is the outrage? As tens of millions of unemployed and uninsured are struggling to make it, now gas prices are making that all the more difficult. But B0 doesn’t care as he is off to the golf course. Imagine the stinging criticism that would rain down on Bush or McCain if they were president.
Doesn't he have people to do that?
You sir, owe me one new keyboard...
They are already talking about Chicago hosting Barry Soetoro’s presidential library. (Complete with his ACORN picture)
Even if that were true, a president should hand the war over to the military and let them fight it.
Wars managed by politicians are disasters.
2.67 here and just went up and of course the so called media is silent again.
the two wars are getting worse
economy is getting really bad and has got bad now.
Iran and N, Korea acting up as is Russia.
Dollar losing his value
spending and debt out of control
we have already had tax raises
country going down hill fast
the list is endless but no wait he plays golf, or maybe he loves to keep finding that church.
His wife has to be the laziest First Lady ever and it seems this man is up there to.
They do nothing but entertain themselves with bands, concerts, eating out(M.O. you need to cut the eating out your arse is massive) and go on vacation
Destroying a great nation single handed is hard work.
Give the guy a break, he needs his downtime and relaxation in order to start anew on Monday.
What else would he do on Sunday? Go to church? /s off
Gunner
he’s done with churches.....he will soon be looking for a mosque.
I found a page dedicated to FLOTUS. I could not read the section that said she SACRIFICES.
http://dyn.politico.com/politico44/index.cfm?category=FLOTUS
Wow! All the perks he has picked for himself....Hmmmm! Let’s see:
golf whenever he wants to
AF One trips to You name it...Let’s just go!
Frequent talk-show appearances,
a couple vacations
Wednesday night parties that cost us in the millions per event
etc...etc....etc. What a job!
BTW...who is really sitting at the helm?
If he could get away with it, I’m sure that’s where he’d go.
