Obama in 4th round of golf on Martha's Vineyard
WaPo ^ | 8/26/10 | Glen Johnson

OAK BLUFFS, Mass. -- Seizing on a day of bright summer sunshine, President Barack Obama headed to the links on Thursday for another vacation round of golf.

The visit to the Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs was Obama's fourth golf outing since he arrived on Martha's Vineyard last week for a 10-day vacation. It came a day after skies over the island off Cape Cod finally cleared following four straight days of drenching rain.

In the president's foursome at Farm Neck were White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, Obama's Chicago friend Eric Whitaker, and Cyrus Walker. White House aides could not immediately provide background about Walker.

Probably breaking news on ABC. With Geithner keeping score.

“10 day vacation”?! After all the other vacas he takes another 10? This is being done on purpose. He’s showing the rest of us that he’ll do whatever the hell he wants because he’s the “emperor”. We’re to shut up and deal with it!

I’ve never had a 10 day vacation in my life.

I can think of four scenarios to try and make some sort of sense out of this out-of-touch and aloof behavior from OBumbles.

1) He lives in such a vacuum that he doesn't see how this behavior plays to the voting public.

2) He knows the fix is in this November, and is willing to call the bluff of the voting public once the obvious fraud elects Democrats.

3) He knows he can't possibly win in 2012 and is just going to start ruling like Nero or Caligula, with increasing odd behavior, until January 2013.

4) He doesn't at all care how the public feels about him being on a permanent vacation while they're trying to feed their families.

Of these possibilities, the 4th seems the most likely to me. This man is a sociopath.

After the One gives his Bush-Bashing-Katrina-Remembrance-Speech and his Back-To-School-Be-Like-Barack-Speech in the next couple of weeks, we will be wishing the fool was on the links 24/7.

Did he pick up Aunt Zeituni and show her the Vineyard?

Other than staged photo ops, does anyone really believe Obama plays golf?

As someone above suggested, I actually think it is a good thing for this guy to be on vacation. As a matter of fact, I wish he would take a permanent vacation until November of 2012.

Looking at the pictures of him pretending to play, no. I doubt he could hit the ball that far in the first place.

Well, that's probably because you have a real job. An important one where your presence is needed because of your expertise and ability.

Maybe after this be needs to chow down some ice cream and maybe a watermelon as he plans his next vacation. I hear Japan would like him to come to Hiroshima. Maybe he could revive his apology tour!

I wish ... his minions behind the scenes are working hard to destroy our country. If they don’t come through or screw up, they get thrown under the bus.

Why stop at 11/12?

It ain't permanent if there is a 'date'

Just think ... we still have Carter and Clinton ... you want to add this mulatto sociopath to the ever America bashing mix?

5) The kind of backroom deals he is making and the people he is meeting with, cannot be done in the White House. Too many eyes and ears.

Notice that there is an ‘unknown’ person with obama on the course, according to the article. As if the MEDIA has no way to identify or trace someone, even being given their name.

For all we know he could be planning the Campaign to install Islam as the National Religion in the US at these GOLF outings. Or offering bankers another huge slush fund, as long as they guarantee a 40% kickback.

What I’ve been able to SEE obama do on a golf course, I wouldn’t call golf. So what is he really doing there?

I have another theory for Obama’s 10 day vacation, having to do with the upcoming election.

First, his bosses obviously know that Soetoro and his Marie Antoinette wife are taking huge heat from the public regarding their constant vacations, ritzy dinners, private parties, etc.

But, they also know that Dems all across the country facing re-election are distancing themselves from Soetoro, which looks really bad.

So, they have made the political calculation that Soetoro and Marie Antoinette Obama take an extended vacation, so that he is “busy”, and CAN’T make it to campaign appearances.

Making the best of a bad situation.

But, I also think that the “I am The One, and I don’t give a damn about the Little People” theory is a good one.
