Obama golfs fourth week straight
Politico ^ | 6/29/09 | DIANNA HEITZ

Barack Obama hit the links again on Sunday, making it four straight weeks where the president has worked on his golf game.

This week, Obama played at Andrews Air Force Base. Obama's group comprised Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and administration aides Marvin Nicholson and Eugene Kang, according to the pool report. The team played 18 holes, on account of the mostly mild weather. Last week, the president was at Fort Belvoir where he teed off with Vice President Joe Biden

Trying to destroy a country is taxing. (No pun intended.)

Personally, his golfing doesn’t bother me at all. Any number of Presidents participated and Eisenhower was known for spending a lot of time on the links.

The reason isn’t to play golf....it’s to get and give instructions......

When he’s out there, do military families have to wait for him to play on through?

Too bad the MJ news blocked the other girl shot over the weekend and the vid of Basji shooting at people from the roof:

“Personally, his golfing doesn’t bother me at all.”

It would bother you if you played the game...it’s like watching a four year old in his big brothers shirt pretending to be an athelete...

We had initially been told the group would only play 9, but Nicholson reported that the weather held up and there was no need to quit at the turn.

Who won?

"You'll have to ask Gibbs,'' Nicholson told your pooler after arriving back at the White House.

He added that everyone played well.

Always with the "spin." They can't ever report a golf score without checking which way the wind is blowing. BTW, if someone could post the hacker in chief's swing, NOT on YOUTUBE so we here in cubicle land could see it, I'd really appreciate it.

Eisenhower didn’t work 9-5, M-F, and took weekends off. He also didn’t do a big spread in Parade magazine about how Dad’s should spend Father’s Day with their children and then go golfing.

Ike worked and used golf to relax.

Also the media went after both Bush’s if they golfed when something was happening but ZERO gets a pass. Double standard at play or most of us wouldn’t say that much.

ZERO will do anything to get out of the WH and didn’t golf until he became President so now it is a way to get out of the WH and away from the phone so to speak. Cannot have world affairs interferring with his weekend.

I would like for him to STAY on the golf course! He is about as presidential as an Elliot Spitzer ho’.

This makes me so angry. Anyone remember how mainstream media & even the RATS hounded former Veep Dan Quayle a because he golfed. MSM made him look unintelligent while the world endured one crisis after another. Yet, obozo the clown who really is an idiot goes golfing while the world burns & MSM goes “ho hum.”

I didn’t say I watched him play the game so I can’t comment on that. Besides, anyone watching me play golf would think I was out to kill snakes the way I hack so I’m not competent to judge anyone’s game. ;^)

Obama must be doing something during the week. He’s bankrupting the country at a record pace. Thank goodness for the weekends when he’s not concocting some new socialist nightmare.

Typical third-world behavior.

Get elected, ACT like you are a leader but play and do nothing, and if you do something, you pay back your cronies and the country be darned.

African third-world politics “at play.”
