US President Barack Obama playing golf at Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, on December 23. It may have ended in a lame-duck session with Democrats set to lose their majority in January, but the first US Congress of the Obama era was among the most prolific in 40 years. (AFP/Saul Loeb)

My Marine son is stationed at MCBH, Kaneohe Bay. He, like a lot of his fellow Marines, are pretty steamed at Skippy right now.

Seems that Skippy wanted the option to shoot some hoops if he felt like it, so the Secret Service has shut down access of the Marine’s gym to the Marines.

So if they want to keep up with their workout schedule for the duration, they have to drive over to the Navy gym at Pearl Harbor! It’s at least an hour’s drive round trip, IF the traffic is flowing smoothly. Which is rare on Oahu.

So much for Skippy’s “concern” for the guys who’ve just returned from Afghanistan.

Ptui.

i’m sorry... but did he make a Christmas address to the nation at any time?

no time for it, yet plenty of time for golf, a free luxury vacation for the family (did he normally go to hawaii before being anointed?), and he had time for a ramadan speech

quality

“Bill about the same, but only three days a week.”

Bill claimed to require only four hours of sleep a night, IIRC. What was he doing the REST of the time???;))

I am wondering what kind of holy-heck I would catch from my wife/family if I ventured out on a golf course on Christmas day. I guess it wouldn't be as big a deal if I really didn't give a rat's rectal cavity about the birth of Christ like some folks must think.

An hour from K-Bay to NAVSTA? Each way, maybe. If you’re not fighting traffic. I was stationed at Subase (USS Buffalo) back in the 80’s and 90’s and NOBODY tried to go farther than they had to during rush hour. I remember one Friday afternoon going AGAINST traffic for the Submarine Ball it took me almost 90 minutes to get from the base to Waikiki (that’s about 10-11 miles, for those not familiar.)

Taking chubby interns and turning the word "humidor" into a VERB.

For a moslem he sure seems to play a lot of golf. I have been on the Marine base at Kaneohe. It will need sustained
decontamination on his departure. Should be a good drill for the NBC biohazard unit.

Merrry Christmas Mr President. Since you are closer to the Koreas while in Hawaii and in keeping with the spirit of ramadan this would be a good time to reiterate your appeasement plans to the Nork dork.

And while you are at it why not surrender the peoples house—you know, the rent free digs you and the czars homeyboys ghetto up with your african mandella grooves. Ive seen it all—and you are none of it. Best wishes.

Whenever Obama uses a military golf course, which seems to be his preference, it is closed to any of the military in the area, as well. I’m sorry to hear that he’s closed the gym as well. No Christmas vacation for the Marines, I guess.

Gosh Darn! That’s the worst form I have ever seen! You can’t even call that a Girlie Swing like his Girlie Baseball throws! Is there anything that Zero can actually do Properly? No wonder his Handlers have erased his entire freaking past!

I seem to remember reading that lefties have a good chance of dying earlier than righties. Maybe we’ll luck out?

Why can’t the jerk play ball with some Marines? Is he afraid of real men? My guess is there are more than a few who would like a shot at his lips!...and a tooth or two. LOL!
