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?

He declares a National Emergency and then goes out golfing?

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.

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.

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.
