Barack Obama, the hardest working man in show business (just ask him), today played his eighth round of golf since the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico commenced on April 20th.
The news media, with the exception of The Hill, failed to report Obama's time on the links at Andrews Air Force Base. The Hill buried the mention with one line in their story about Obama's day.
Obama was crticized last month for his administration attacking BP's CEO for attending a yacht race while at the same time Obama was playing golf yet again.
A search of Google News shows that no other news outlet mentioned Obama's eighth golfing venture in the eleven weeks since the oil disaster started. Republicans made an issue of Obama's work ethic a few weeks ago with a video that documented the time Obama has spent golfing and partying since April 20th.
The White House responded at the time by saying Obama's numerous golf outings "does us all good as American citizens." (I think they stole that line from the North Koreans.)
The White House pool is not allowed on the course at Andrews AFB to photograph Obama golfing. The most recent images of Obama on a golf course are from late April in Asheville, North Carolina--the first of two vacations Obama has taken since the oil spill.
The list, ping
Supposedly it’s his daughter’s birthday today.
He celebrated by getting out of the house and away from his family.
and the MSM and liberals used to complain at how much time Bush spent on vacation. But in Obama’s case, it doesn’t matter, since he’s been on top of the spill since DAY ONE and has learned whose butt to kick.
Something is fishy here, sounds to me like Obama is using his golf “escape” to meet certain people. Either that or to perform some sort of activity that he wants kept private.
Bumped to front page.
I’m frankly surprised The Messiah plays at golf anymore since, certainly he’s better than Kim Jong Il. Kimmie got something like 13 holes in one the first time he played and just found the game too boring, not challenging enough. But I’ll bet that The One racks up at least 16 “1’s” per round, right? Total score for 18 = 20 +/- 2?
Its the only time he can choke down a pack of menthols without anyone chronicling it.
Then he wrapped it up with a BBQ.
It’s good to be the King
Must be nice to be able to take TWO vacations between January and June.
I guess you can do that when there’s so little real business to attend to as president. /sarc
He is the worst golfing president ever. NO...the worst president ever. He is terrible. He needs to resign. Old Plugs couldn’t screw it up this bad. Has anybody ever read crap coming from Houston’s own, Bob Cavnar? He is on Keith blOlbermans sometimes.
Obama is taking up for the brother since Tiger Woods is a bust. Cut him some slack /s
A leader leads by example. If Obama ain’t bothered, why should anyone else bother?
LOL, don’t give the O any ideas
