Well, the mercury has crept back up above 60 degrees here in Washington, and so it’s time once again for President Obama to head out to the golf course.

This is the president’s 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 president’s activities, Obama played 30 rounds in 2010, 28 rounds in 2009, and two this year, including today.

George W. Bush gave up golfing in 2003, explaining why he did it in a 2008 interview with POLITICO.

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

60th Outing as President

Yet he still swings like a spaz and conducts himself like a lost little boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9m3GyDh6M8

I remember Glenn Beck saying about a week ago that there are members of his cabinet who he hasn’t seen at all since being anointed. I wish I could find the source he got for this. The point is that whenever some tough decision or situation happens, Barry always seems to claim a scheduling conflict, yet he’s spent the equivalent of 2 months playing golf. 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?].
