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.

He uses Pink Lady golf balls and hits from the Red tees.

It helps him to think about what to do in Afghanistan... when he's not reading books about the Vietnam War or having DOD people play war games.

The clock is ticking... and that's A-OK with our President.

Don’t forget Obambi’s priority is to attend every bumbF*ck fundraiser and social event... Activities keep him out of his handlers way... They recognize that he is a child.

“...now watch this drive...”

Where in the bloody hell is Michael Moore at this point???

When it comes to nutcases at least Alex Jones is more consistent than Michael Moore and that scares me....

Yup! He's a real Ball flog player. Too bad he can't lead except in FLOG activities!

(PS flog spelled backwards is....)

How 'bout the economy? Afghanistan? Iraq? Deficit? North Korea? Iran?

Your expectations are too high for our first 9 to 5 President and Commander in Chief. Sheesh! /sarc

Didn’t Bush give up golf because he didn’t want to be seen on the Golf course during a war?

Yes, he did.

He said this"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."

Didn’t a member of the DBM do a piece on the “boyish atmosphere” (aka, frat house at 1600 Pennsylvania) in this administration? My god, we could have told them NINE months ago this was gonna happen. I’m starting to wonder if the reason Biden’s there is the party elders knew this was going to happen, and they wanted a harmless caretaker to guide the country after the inevitable impeachment and removal?

He’s looking awefully thin?

Stress is a very effective appetite suppressant. GHWB seemed to manage well with excercise, nutrition and practicing faith. Me thinks Barry doesn't have the right balance.

Imagine the stinging criticism that would rain down on Bush or McCain if they were president.

Agreed. My biggest problem isn't with Obama - he's just being the leftist academic that we knew he was. It's with the news media who let this guy skate by last year, and continue to do so this year. Next, I blame millions upon millions of Americans - including more than a few friends of mine - who refused to do their homework before electing the leader of the free world.

Where is the outrage that he is out playing golf with all the crises happening (many of which 0bama was responsible for creating including unemployment up, deficits through the roof at over $1.4 trillion, Afghanistan war turning bad, Olympics bid for Chicago being lost, etc) that the press corps (idiot parrot libs masquerading as journalists) would mention the down time playing golf. Life when President Bush would go home to Texas for vacation in August. It was never vacation, but he tried to give his staff some time to reconnect with family but he always worked hard.

Eventually, Barry will be held accountable for what he is doing. We are trying hard at it. Maybe the MSM will do their jobs, but I’m not holding my breath.

I made a post for the wrong thread. Of course off to the golf course for President Not-Present. His whole life has been spent avoiding work, so why should the presidency be any different.
