WASHINGTON (AP) — So much for overshadowing your rivals, Mr. President.
Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss didn't seem fazed by a rare congressional invitation to golf with President Barack Obama Monday, sinking a hole-in-one on the par-three 11th hole.

The above headline and summary is what appears in gooble news
The true story:
“The ace shot helped lead Chambliss and GOP teammate Sen. Bob Corker or Tennessee to victory over the Democratic duo of Obama and Colorado Sen. Mark Udall on an outing meant to strengthen ties between the president and Congress.
Chambliss told reporters upon his triumphant return to Capitol Hill that “everyone went crazy” when he made the shot and there were high-fives all around. The president retrieved the Chambliss’ ball from the hole, while Corker took a picture.”
I’m so happy that our President and a few useless US Senators can play golf on a taxpayer subsidized course while the country goes to hell in a hand basket. I don’t suppose Bengazi came up, or Fast and Furious, or the billions of tax dollars pissed away on “green” energy payoffs.
God I hate these people, every single one of them...
A Holes in One.
Well, Taxby finally found a use for himself. Beating Obama at golf. I expect the little Kenyan prince was more angry over that than he was when 4 of our guys died in Benghazi.
I knew he was a three hole’r
Three senators and one hole (A, that is)
Pretty hard not to hate sell outs like Chambliss and other republicans that did this.
Wonder how much money they pocketed and what deals were made?
Dear Leader
Gosh, it sounds really fun being a GOP senator. Glad they are fighting so hard for us (by partying with the man who works every day to enviscerate the constitution).
They say Arafat was the same...
As much as I despised, (and dispise) the Clintoons, my disgust for them has never quite risen to the level of what I feel for the ursuper in the white hut.
When I look back on it, I never had the conviction that Bubba would purposely wreck the country to gain his agenda.
I am completely convinced that Bathouse Barry would do anything to advance his Marxist agenda and is committed to ruining this great Nation.
The loathing I feel for this traitorous SOB knows no bounds.
After all these years, senator Saxby Chambliss makes a ripple in Washington DC circles. Georgians take note.
That would be funny if it wasn’t so accurate.
I feel sick.
I am convinced that about half of our reps are being blackmailed or bribed.
Nothing else explains such in your face cowardice and complicity with Obama’s Marxist agenda.
In the sense of fairness, Saxby was asked to give his score on the hole to Obama.
The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) released a report on Sunday titled “Presidential Calendar: A Time-Based Analysis” that analyzes how Barack Obama spends his time as president.
The report examines “how much time President Barack Obama has spent in economic meetings of any kind, Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs), and personal recreation (vacations and golf outings).”
The data collected by the GAI reveals that Obama has spent more than twice as much time golfing (976 hours) as he has in meetings about the economy (474.4 hours) over the course of his administration up to March 31, 2013.
The report’s key findings include:
President Obama has spent 3.6% of his total work time in economic meetings or briefings of any kind (assuming a six day, 10-hour a-day workweek) throughout his presidency
President Obama has spent a total of 474.4 hours (or 47.410-hour workdays) in economic meetings or briefings of any kind throughout his presidency
In 2013, President Obama has spent 6 total hours in economic meetings of any kind
The number of days with some sort of economic meeting have declined significantly throughout President Obama’s time in office.
Throughout 2009, President Obama had 140 days with economic meetings. By 2012, the number of days with a scheduled economic meeting decreased to 29 (an 79% decrease)
President Obama has attended a total of 645 PDBs (intelligence briefings) since taking office (42.1% of the 1532 days we reviewed)
Throughout his time in office, President Obama has played 115 total rounds of golf and spent 86 days on vacation, for an estimated combined total of 976 hours.
Obama has taken criticism for the amount of time he spends vacationing as well as how much it costs for the First Family to do so, costing tax payers millions of dollars each time, and as the above information shows, they vacation quite a bit.
Saxby has decided to retire. Now that he really doesn’t have anything to lose, he’s doing only what the good RINO and politician does and set himself up for the remainder of his life while I work my a$$ off at 2 jobs... I’m sad to say that I voted for this turd...
Just wait... Johnny Isakson is next... expect a replay when his time to retire comes...
