Barack Obama is more of a catcher than a pitcher...

President Barack Obama has played golf 32 times since he took office, eight times more than his predecessor George W. Bush - who was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game - did in his entire presidency.
Mr Obama's latest outing on the links came on Sunday, when an opportunity opened up on his schedule after flying bans over most of northern and central Europe forced him to cancel his trip to Krakow to attend the funeral of Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president.
Mr Bush was shown in the Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11 condemning "terrorist killers" in the Middle East when asked a question on the golf course in 2002. Barely pausing for breath, he added: "Thank you. Now watch this drive."
Mr Bush later gave up golf, saying in a 2008 interview: "I don't want to some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf... And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."
The golfing figures were compiled by Mark Knoller of CBS Radio, the unofficial White House statistician.
Mr Obama's Sunday golf game prompted anger in Poland, where the Warsaw Business Post carried a headline reading: "Obama goes golfing instead of attending Kaczynskis' funeral".

And can’t throw a First Pitch either
Well, with so many Czars and other sycophants surrounding him ... he has very little to do!
So true and if the Masters was run by a buch of redneck, right-wing, homophobe, racist he have a green jacket by now!
And they never reveal his score, either! What a boob!!
They’re comparing Bush’s 8 years of presidency to Obama’s 1.2 or so. Doesn’t that mean he plays over 25 times the amount of golf, given his current pace?
Who gives a rats about how often he plays golf. He only needs to be around to claim credit for something or blame Bush or deny he had anything to do with it. The less I see or hear him the better.
But he’d getting so much work done on the golf course dontchaknow! Like OJ looking for Nicole’s killer (Ooops, OJ’s in jail now).
Barack Obama is more of a catcher than a pitcher...
If Obama has played 32 times, and if that is 8 times as much as Bush, then Bush must have played only 4 times in 8 years. That seems surprising to me, but I guess he only played in the first year or two of his first term.
....and not mention vacations every four months....
He looks as jerky as he is...
That whole “repairing our image overseas” mumbo-jumbo just seems so laughable now.
—wonder how he compares to Ike—he caught a lot of flak over golf—
IIRC, “Obama” is a Kenyan or a Hawaiian word meaning, “Is it tee time yet??”
;-)
And his lifeless spaghetti arms still can’t hit the ball 100 yards off the tee.
The ONLY story he is abot the media HYPOCRACY
I dont care how much golf he plays
But I do care that the media would have had a caniption fit if Bush had played that much golf.
He’s a Tiger Woods wannabe.
