In Wake of Massive Tornadoes, Media Avoids Reporting on Obama's 64th Round of Golf Today
Sunday, April 17, 2011 | Kristinn

While Southern states reeled from a massive tornado outbreak that killed several dozen people, Barack Obama played his 64th round of golf as president today. The White House pool reporter filed reports on Obama's departure for the links at Andrews Air Force Base and on his return to the White House. However there are no reports by the media informing the public about Obama's golf outing.

The closest to a news report is a post on Twitter by CBS News Radio White House correspondent Mark Knoller. Keith Koffler at the blog White House Dossier also did a post based on the pool report.

Knoller also tweeted that Obama spent four hours on the golf course today.

The South got ripped by tornadoes this weekend, gas prices are hitting $4 per gallon, unemployment claims are up, the budget deficit is still out of control, the war in Libya is a cluster as is Afghanistan where our troops are still getting killed.

Yet the media gives Obama a pass by not doing its basic job of telling the American people how Obama spent his day.

THIS JUST IN! North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue says she spoke with Obama today and that he pledged "whatever it takes to rebuild North Carolina." The governor did not say whether Obama was golfing when they spoke today.

Same ‘non-response’ to the Nashville flooding, etc, etc, etc. They aren’t ‘his people’.

Haiti, the Middle East, on the other hand.........

Well given that if he actually did anything it would harm the US I don’t really mind him spending most of his time on the links or vacationing.

Knoller has really revealed many things before about the ‘clown’. I detect some dissent? Maybe??? Is CBS (with the Gunrunner scandal) finally the ‘voice’?

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm....................NAH.

Actually, North Carolina is key to his reelection strategy.

My hunch is more golf = less mischief. It should be encouraged. And more vacations and ice cream.

Omullah is a frustrated checkpants country clubber wannabe.

This president has to be the least family oriented man I have ever seen. Does he ever do anything here in the United States with his kids? I understand avoiding the Wookie, but that is no excuse.

Okay, is he addicted to golf, or something?

If so, I hope he gets some help. I mean doesn’t golfing take time?

Would have been all over the MSM in all forms had it been a White Republican President.

It’s pure arrogance. This guy knows he is up for reelection next year, but also knows his enablers are going to dump a Billion dollars or more, whatever it takes to keep him in the WH to protect their investment in the destruction they have orchestrated thus far during his administration of this Nation.

They have a lot to lose if we don’t fall for their tricks again.

Gotta get it out there that they are afraid of one, and one person only to become the next POTUS. They fear her more than anyone else in the running, and she isn’t even in the running yet.
