Friday's other big number: Obama plays 248th round of golf as market tanks
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/21/15 | Paul Bedard

President Obama golf carted closer to his 250th round of golf as president Friday, a day when an even bigger number was making news, the 530-point stock drop.

At the tail end of a 16-day vacation, Obama golf for the 248th time as president, more than most, but a long way from catching other presidents famous for hitting the links like Dwight Eisenhower.

He played the Farm Neck Golf Club with former NBA great Alonzo Mourning, basketball free agent Ray Allen and Cyrus Walker, cousin to Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.

They played for four hours, 52 minutes, about average for a round of Obama golf.

As two SEALs fought abandoned until their bloody deaths, Obama turned in early, the better for Vega$ golf with a rapper.

Headline should read:

“Obama Prances Around Course With His Girly Man Legs Hanging Out While Playing His 248h Round of Crappy Golf”

Too wordy?

After the Fort Hood shooting (12 dead), his “somber” speech begins at 53 second point to give a happy SHOUT OUT to an Indian guy named “Crow”:

Can we get the amount of days he has played golf as a percentage of his time in office?” It is around ten percent, is that correct?

The epitome of uncontrolled, unaccountable, anti-American, criminal liberalism.

I would think the best thing that could happen is that zero would stay on the golf course until he is replaced.

By the end of his presidency, Obama will have spent a full year of his 8 years as President on the golf course.

Actually, I’d rather not have Barky meddling in the free market. He’d only make it worse. Stay on the golf course Barky.

I absolutely loathe Obama; but, at the same time, what was he supposed to do yesterday—Go on TV and wring his hands while watching the market drop?

I read a tweet from some NBA guy who played golf with Baraq.

It was something like “with 50 Secret Service agents on each hole, it was really difficult to enjoy playing”

Rodeo clowns serve a valuable purpose: to protect the cowboy from the bull if he falls.

The other one...
