Obama: Tee-ing off nation, 1 Sunday at a time

EDGARTOWN - Another Sunday, another missed opportunity for President Obama to prove to America he’s not a Muslim.

But instead of attending church services at one of the dozens and dozens of quaint, island Christian churches yesterday morning, the commander in chief hit Our Lady of the Fairways, aka the Vineyard Golf Club, yet again, to play 18.

Obama again teed off with Chicago pal Eric Whitaker and aide Marvin Nicholson . Rounding out the foursome was Bill Lewis, a regular Vineyard vacationer who played with Obama and Whitaker last year. Once again, the press corps was kept far, far away from the presidential golf party.

Perhaps the Leader of the Free World is a little sensitive about his game. Because our spies report that Barry was hacking away at a ball in the bunker on the 12th hole - a la Judge Elihu Smails - before giving up and throwing it onto the green. Shades of Bill Clinton!

Freeloader in Chief.

the weird thing about these golf trips is that you always see the bam but not likely to see his golf partners . he’s smiling in this one & taking his mulligan- i wonder how his pals feel about this?

Since they have decided to play with him my guess is that they adore him and probably don't even "notice".

This man really is the sickest human being that ever gained this office. His ego trumps everything else.

nobama is incompetent at everything: being president, being a father, being a husband, golfing...

You forgot the 37 he got at bowling.

Truly a Loser at everything he does.....except convince much of White America they need to feel White Guilt and elect him President.

"Say, Michele. I'm looking at my sinking poll numbers.Uh, about
that vacation house you bought for us on Marbella, the one next
door to the king? The one you bought with the stimulus millions
Rahm stashed offshore for when we exit this crappy WH."

Maybe he couldn’t find a pastor in one of those quaint churches that would scream “God damn America”.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

you’re dam* right

[popdonnelly]

The President is completely out of touch with the American people.

[Red Badger]

That’s a noticeable departure from previous presidents, such as George W. Bush and Clinton, who were on their knees every Sunday."

With Clintoon Somebody was always on their knees...............

“The president’s handlers have said Obama doesn’t attend services regularly because he doesn’t want to be “hugely disruptive to congregations.””

I guarantee, it is much easier for the Secret Service to provide security at a small New England Chapel, that to be able to monitor every grassy knoll on a 69 acre golf course. Having personally witness some of the planning the Secret Service has to go through for even a short POTUS visit, he is really testing their endurance to keep up.

Obama Mocks Bible, but said he’s Christian.

This is not only a trait of our Muslim President,
but something common to "liberal Christians" nationwide.

Yes, we know "liberal Christian" is an oxymoron, but many libs do think they are saved, say they are Christians, and reject the exclusivity of Christ's sacrifice for us. They also MUST reject the authority of His Word, because the Word rejects all of the premises of liberalism,

especially the core motivation for even BEING a liberal - self superiority and the affirmation that you're "a good person".

[Vaduz]

The one you bought with the stimulus millions.
On target wonder how many freezers he has?.

[MrB]

Gee, I wonder why all of America thinks he is a Muslim?

More telling, why do 99.99999% of Muslims think he's a Muslim?

[ishabibble]

The Obamas do not celebrate Christmas, either. Just think back to last year when Barry played in the waves in Hawaii while the undie bomber tried to slaughter Americans in Detroit.

“Obama: Tee-ing off nation, 1 Sunday at a time”

The Boston Herald just came up with a great bumper sticker or Tea-Party sign slogan. I like it.

[Liz]

Heh-—the Cong w/ the freezer cash is now in jail.

Whitaker left the Ill. state payroll and joined Obama’s wife Michelle as a high-ranking executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center. When he was hired, U. of C. was seeking permission to expand its children’s hospital — one of five expansions the university sought from the state while Whitaker was health director. All were approved by the planning board. Whitaker and the U. of C. said he had nothing to do with those approvals.

[Vaduz]

So should Obama.

0bama takes mulligan, same day NYT says he doesn't.

President Obama takes a mulligan after failing to hit the ball out of a bunker on the 12th hole.

Lessons for President Obama, and No Mulligans

August 22, 2010

EXCERPT

Mulak later watched Obama play three holes. What did he think of the first golfer’s game?

“He’s a trouper, that’s what he is,” Mulak said. “He accepts that it’s a hard game. We had another president — I’m not naming names — who liked to play a lot of mulligans.”

A mulligan is a term for a do-over golf shot, one meant to replace a poor shot. Former President Bill Clinton vacationed on Martha’s Vineyard and was known for frequently using do-over shots — they became known as “Billigans.”

Mulak said: “When President Obama hit his ball into the junk out here, he went and found it and hit it again. He did that wherever his ball ended up. You have to respect him for that.”
