Obama’s one achievement — outgolfing Tiger Woods
Washington Times ^ | August 13, 2014 | Joseph Curl

As Barack “Eldrick” Obama approaches his 200th round of golf since his election as president, here’s a fact to put that into perspective: Since January 2009, Tiger Woods has played 269 rounds of golf.

And Tiger, beleaguered by injury, is almost certainly done for the year. So that means the president, if he keeps up with his pace of play during his 15-day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard (a round a day) and his normal weekly round, will pass Tiger sometime next spring.

Think about that for a minute. The president of the U.S., juggling the American economy and the entire world’s problems — Iraq is in full meltdown, the Middle East is a powder keg, Russia is moving on Ukraine — has played golf nearly as much as a guy whose day job is playing golf.

You Freepers shouldn't be too hard on the Idiot ... besides reading off a teleprompter, campaigning and fundraising, what else is the community organizer capable of doing?

Has anyone heard any reports of his golfing prowess, or more likely, a lack thereof? I would guess not, his golf ability is probably a closely guarded secret like the rest of his past.

The Daily Mail had a story about Obama taking only 1/3 of the vacations Bush did at this point in both their terms....Not sure I want to believe that.

I’ve always said, knowing the ginormous ego of Caliph Baraq, if his SATs and LSATs were great, they’d be framed in gold and hanging on the wall of the WH Press Room.

I’d wager you could say the same thing about his golf card.

Bush and Reagan went HOME to their ranches to do work that ranches require......the media calls that a VACATION! HA! They also hosted world leaders.

Yes, Ann. The article was very pro-Obama and negative Bush. Much like their coverage of the Israel/ Hamas coverage.

Set down your drink, click this: Obogey - Obama Golf Game, and judge for yourself.

Why be so modest?

I think to make the article fully pro-Omaba the Daily Mail deliberately counted night’s Bush spent at his actual HOME (which he did not have to lease and where he did actual work as well). To my knowledge, Obama as President has not over-nighted back at his Chicago home (where we would not be paying mega bucks for his stay-—unlike his beach front resort stays).

At least when this pinhead is golfing, he isn't as involved in destroying OUR Country.
