Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, submitted legislation which would make it illegal for Obama to use federal funds for commuting to and from golf outings until the White House resumes tours. Reopening the White House for tours would only cost “one or two golf trips less” for Obama, he argued.

What a useless gesture.

Good luck getting this legislation through the Senate or getting Obuba to sign it in to law.

The only purpose this bill has is to embarrass the president in the press and the press is unlikely to report on it give its real purpose.

Given that media has reported the Gohmert bill, what is your downside?

The jerk in the White House takes every chance he can get to try to embarrass conservatives. I see no reason at all why legislation can't be introduced that hits him right in the middle of the 18th fairway.

Not to worry. Your friend Boehner killed it so you don't have to be worried about being embarrassed.

Politicians think they look “tough” when they propose laws like that. Instead, they look like the little loser bookworms they are. You want make a scene? Go golfing with him and walk off the course halfway through and go to a press conference calling him out to be the loser he is.

Ridicule him, and any one who golfs with him. Endlessly. In public. And use the most direct and non PC language possible.
