politico ^ | 10/26/09

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.

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.”

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

no surprise...after all, he is the man who was mostly counted as “present” for votes when he was a Senator; he is known for his tardiness to every committee meeting; he was able to skate into power by his liberal funders/friends such as Soros, Hollywood, misguided white upper class Americans, illegal foreign contributions, ACORN and SEIU thuggery, shenanigans at the DNC in arm-twisting delegates to vote for him and not Clinton, deal-making all the way to the Oval Office. Wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to claim Camp David as his own personal property once he's served his term (and let that be one term, please God!) Let me not go any further and be cited as a racist if I make any comments about his propensity toward sports...meanwhile, our country is flat-lining...

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.

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?

I have a totally unscheduled and not a real stressful life. I can mostly afford to play golf when I want to; but that said, I can't seem to take the time to play 18 holes with the regularity of my dear leader. How does he do it?
