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.
Unconscionable.
No photos. Filthy corrupt lamestream press, but where’s the *new media* with cameras?
Nothing but golf and fundraising for the near future. It’s good to be the king....
Unlike Carter, Obama is going to be a GREAT ex-president. He kind of already is.
As I remember, NC voted for Obama in 2008...much to my surprise!
Our bogey prez is still trying to reach his goal of destroying America before reaching Par. Unfortunately he may make it because we have become such dumb shits and have allowed guilt to supercede the game.
This is what figureheads do.
Did you miss all the pictures from their spring vacation in Brazil, Chile, and other assorted countries?
No media allowed with Obama on course at Andrews.
I guarantee you if a tornado hit the South side of Chicago he’d be there.
Ah. He purposely played there!
Not on *golf* Sunday.
Oh, I guess the *Christian* also overlooked Palm Sunday?
He’ll have to force himself to attend *Easter* services for the photo-op at least.
Had these tornados ravaged his favorite “Chocolate City” in Lousiana, you can bet your ass he would have been down there in an instant.
Are you sure he wasn’t in church for Palm Sunday?
Palm Sundae is a weekly ritual between Reggie Love and the president. It’s really more of a technique.
Entitlement Mentality
Wow. Proof they truly don’t care. The news media in this country are without shame. The WH press corps may as well be the WH press corpse. They’re dead.
Corrupt bastards all.
