Obama Golfs for the Fifth Weekend in a Row
The 2011 Obama golf season is off to a a roaring start, with the president headed out today for the fifth time in as many weeks.
This is Obama’s 66th time golfing as president and his eighth time this year.
After a Hawaii vacation session at the beginning of January, this year’s Obama golf season officially got underway with two chilly outings in March. Obama resumed play on April 3, and has hit the links every week since.
While there are no official statistics being kept, it’s probably safe to say that no president has ever golfed five weeks in a row. It’s not even clear that Dwight Eisenhower, who also loved to hit the greens, ever pulled this off.
The weather at Andrews Air Force Base, where the president is playing, is a pleasant 60 degrees, with a chance of rain by mid afternoon, though he should be done by then.
Along with him is his usual posse – junior White House officials Ben Finkenbinder and Marvin Nicholson, and the Energy Department’s David Katz.
Golf is just another place to hide!!
There's a DEEP underground factor to this administration. Scarey...
Why must you make me throw up a little in my mouth? This emmer effer needs to be taken out, as in tried, convicted and hung for treason.
Of course he's playing golf. What's he care what we think? He's got it made for life.
Priorities! Alabama, Libya, gas prices, raging unemployment, inflation, gargantuan national debt...
...nope. A black tie dinner with the swells the night before and golf the next afternoon. Unprincipled, undisciplined, self-absorbed trash.
Golf — just another thing he is no good at.
Our man is a record setter: While there are no official statistics being kept, it’s probably safe to say that no president has ever golfed five weeks in a row.
What I object to is complete lack of understanding for the golf course. They are apparently overworked, and in need of a vacation from the usurper. Can’t he give them a weekend off now and then?
Ike may have the record...
As long as our thunderstorms are moving east, I have no problem with 0 standing out in the open holding a lightning rod over his head and steel pins on his feet.
Ike may have the record...800 rounds in 8 years
He did 5 fund raisers, an evening of yucks with the MSM and round of golf this week compared to a 3 hour fly-over of Alabama and stonewalling the Texas Governor’s emergency aid request.
David Katz was a photographer. Now he’s with the energy department??
Better things to do.
Mean while families with unemployed fathers are dining on hot dogs and beans for five weeks in a row!!
Why not, there are no pressing national or international issues on his desk.
