Obama Plays Golf, Press Gets Left Behind
The Hill ^ | Saturday, May 26, 2012 | Jamie Klatell

President Obama played a holiday weekend round of golf on Saturday, but on the return trip the motorcade ditched the press pool that traditionally travels with the president.

Obama's motorcade left the White House shortly before 1 p.m. ET for Andrews Air Force Base, a course he plays at frequently. The press pool trailed the president to the base in Maryland, as usual, and this weekend's reporter, National Journal's George Condon, held at the food court to wait for the presidential foursome's round to end.

In a breach of long-held tradition, however, Obama's motorcade left Andrews without the reporters in tow. The president returned to the White House shortly before 6 p.m., according to the administration, and the press vans got there about 15 minutes later.

Wonder what his hurry was...

Iranian enrichment? Hot date? The aroma of Kobe beef kabobs fresh off the grill coming from over the trees?

Was the National Journal reporter perhaps too conservative by half for Mr. Obama’s taste? Midht ask a question that was uncomfortable or something.

This is not the first time he has done this, and not an accident. What is he hiding? I hope someday we find out. I won’t hold my breath though, given the corrupt media.

History is being rewritten.

Remember the statement “while Rome burned?”

Well, we have a new page in history “while America collapsed.”

New history will not cite “fiddling around”, it will cite golfing around.

What a piss-poor piece of crap he is!

As everyone elese said, Choom Gang releated or instead of a foursome he picked up a twosome, etc.

And no, that was no soccer match he attended which was mentioned in the article because there was no game scheduled that day. It happened right after the Kenyan Parliament stated he had been born in Kenya and their embassy was very near where he had sneaked off to. So, who knows what this freak is ever up to.
