Everyone is missing the point... Obama’sgolf games have NOTHING TO DO WITH GOLF, it IS about making unseen, unheard DEALS that will secure him, his family and his political toadies financial, and power futures in perpetuity.
Bingo!
Maybe there is room for more than one point.
Sure, deals can be made on the golf course. But those are done without the public watching.
Obama's golf games have to do with trying to put on a 'show'. He's a WANNABEE!
Other Presidents played golf. All the RICH AND FAMOUS play golf. All the MOVERS and SHAKERS play golf.
Obama is trying to IMITATE them so he can be 'accepted' as a member of the un-named,un-registered, non-existent club of the RULING ELITE.
Obama likes basketball, and has a skill level about the same as a 12 year old kid from the ghetto. Enough to play decently, as long as the opposition 'goes easy on ya'. Problem is, only his staff (required duty) and Big Stars who need an inside hook to snatch a big chunk of stimulus money play BB with him. So, he plays golf because that's where the big dogs hang out.
You never saw President Bush play golf. Know why?
That was all done before he got elected.
