President Barack Obama spent Sunday on the golf course at Fort Belvoir, Va., according to White House pool reports.

The president was playing with regular links partner Marvin Nicholson and two others whose names weren't immediately known.

First lady Michelle Obama is set to visit the Gulf region Monday for the first time since the BP oil spill began.

"I will not rest...."

A pre-vacation vacation (his third since the spill) is planned for Maine next weekend.

I never thought golf was a popular game with Communists.

michelle will as usual surround herself with liitle black kids and tell them a story about tar and feathers.

Then she'll tell them that their daddy isn't working because of the white man.

Then some kid will pop up and say..."My daddy never works because he doesn't have papers so we just pretend to be americans....kinda like the President."

After church, I’m sure.

Now things will get going big time.....can’t hardly wait....
signed, SHEESH!

If only we had a free and independent press to ask him how he defines “not rest”

Like the debt clock in NYC, we now need an obama (small o) golf clock.

I wonder if the green fees are picked up by the taxpayer?

I have no problem with him playing golf - now lying and his general incompetence is something else.

I’m not going to rest — and none of the gentlemen and women who are here are going to rest — or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil on the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of this region are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods

[Arrowhead1952]

BUT, remember his statement "I have been on top of this from day 1". I stand by Rep. Joe Wilson.

"You lie!"

[Oceander]

The gift that just keeps on giving!!!




Just whipped out another golf-related jab at Obuttocks, although perhaps I've mixed too many allusions into this one:

[Deepest South]

I’ve read that lightning strikes are one of the risks of outdoor sports like golf.

Sure hope everyone is careful.

Wouldn't want the President to not enjoy his golf, maybe he should play more often.

A while back, someone posted their link to a page revealing Obama’s golf outings (since being prez) with scores, and other information when possible. If you know of this link, would you post it again? I would like to link to it. Thanks.

Golfin' I can do. The gulf is above my pay grade.

The Kenyan may need to appoint a golf czar.
