“Please tell me the Tea Party didn’t bring home a Republican House so the President could have a golf partner?”

Barry hates Boehner. This is all phony jive for the cameras.

There are, of course, photographers on the course, and the images are starting to come in. Knowing the importance Obozo places on "optics", it's easy to guess that the visual message is a large part of his reason for this excursion. Obozo has tried before to make Boehner the face of the Republican party. With that in mind, what does the following "optic" suggest to most viewers? (I just saw this picture shown on Fox News)

There is no civility there. It’s for 0bama to keep up fronts and Boehner plays along. After everything 0bama has said and done there is enough there to hit him with the uncivil tag and hateful politics. There is no way he should be treated as if this is just acceptable. 0bama and the Demonrats cross the line. This breed of Republican just carries on like things are peaceful and wonderful and they’re not. They don’t deal with reality. It is the enemy within they take the oath to fight.

I heard Boehner was a 7-handicap and Zero is a 17.

And I do think this bipartisan crap must end until the Rats pony up.

How much is the US borrowing during 18 holes of golf?

The big question I have (aside from why they are doing this), is will O’Dumbo count all his strokes, and will anyone acuse him of cheating? Given the fact that he is incapable of telling the truth, will anyone call him on it?

It's great to get away from the peasants for a while, isn't it, Barack? Maybe we can go riding to the hounds next time.

You nailed it. It gets him away from ‘don’t smoke/eat bean sprouts’ Michelle, and it also gets him away from the demands of POTUS. He likes the perks but he doesn’t like the pressure, so the links are perfect. Also, he has an extremely addictive/dysfunctional personality, so for him golf is like a video game he just can’t leave alone. Every time he misses a shot, he’s that much more compulsively determined to play another round.

He has an extreme aversion to work and pressure, so he decamps to the golf course every chance he gets. He no doubt enjoys the entourage and all the special arrangements he gets as POTUS-on-the-links, but it’s more than that. He has the uber-antsy personality of an extreme Malignant Narcissist, which means he needs to be on the go a LOT. His official caravan to the golf course, his prerogative of driving the cart, and his escape from the confines of the WH all drive him obsessively to the course.

Remember, he’s never stayed at any one job in the past more than two years. This long ‘bit’ as POTUS is driving him nuts. Golf is one of his outlets—booze and other self-medications being another.

golfing isn’t free... someone is paying for it

and when you have a rather large security detail... it costs a lot of money

i’d like to know exactly how much of my money has been spent on golfcart-one’s outings.

i’m fed up paying for president recess and his affirmative, learn on the job, mindset

“I like Boehner okay also, but agreeing to this match is a dumb move.”

Without fail every time Barry has been on the ropes the beltway RINOs find a way to prop him up.

IIRC Reagan and Tip O'Neill would often enjoy a beer together after work.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
