Well, the mercury has crept back up above 60 degrees here in Washington, and so its time once again for President Obama to head out to the golf course.
This is the presidents 60th time golfing as president, meaning Obama has spent two months of his presidency on the golf course.
The rounds usually take about five hours, including motorcading back an forth to the course.
According to statistics compiled by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who keeps close tabs on the presidents activities, Obama played 30 rounds in 2010, 28 rounds in 2009, and two this year, including today.

God only knows how much more time was spent on basketball & parties. This asshat is looking more like King Louis XVI of France everyday.
Privately, figuratively, imaginationally [to coin a new word worthy of this asshole] I’d like his next ‘hole-in-one’ to be up his ass in the ‘Gerbil’ sense [figuratively, of course - we can alarm the sensibilities of of the US SS now, can we?].
