Yes, we know: President Bush played golf too. But while we usually count on CBS News Mark Numbers Knoller to keep track of the presidents visits to the golf course and with whom, he hasnt tweeted today. So instead well rely on the Washington Examiners Paul Bedard to keep us up to date.
As Twitchy noted, President Obamas golf date with Bill Clinton on Marthas Vineyard this weekend suggested to some that an indictment of Hillary Clinton was even less likely than earlier suspected.

Smart you. She is so besotted about money and power that there is literally nothing in my opinion beyond her.
Evil . . sin. . .shows on your face, as Oscar Wilde described.
One prominent example among many in the media was Michael Moore:
“Bush was also constantly ridiculed and criticized for playing golf, most memorably by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11. In August 2003, Bush gave up the game, believing it sent the wrong message to grieving parents of soldiers killed or wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of course, he was ridiculed for that as well.”
Don’t get me wrong, I do think Bush made a conscientious decision not to play. I don’t think he is respected for the decision. I think he was harangued about the topic prior to decision in ways President Obama is not harangued.
I think this double standard is at the heart of what is destroying this nation. Patriotic individuals must adhere to a standard of perfection. Politicians who think America is far from exceptional and argue that way are granted exemptions in conduct. That cynical spiral allows our interpretive elite to tear down this great nation.
It disgusts me.
