President Obama has played 104 rounds of golf since he took office by the last count. The president is a notoriously slow golfer and takes around 4.5 hours per round of golf. That means that he has golfed for approximately 468 hours since taking office. Given that a normal work week is 40 hours, that means that Obama has spent about 11.5 weeks of his presidency chasing around the dimpled ball." Spending some of his golf time with Congressmen instead of celebrities... what might have been accomplished? Thoughtful Article.

Zer0 has wasted 4 years worth of Sundays. No sympathy here.

Nothing that I would have supported, that's for sure.

It still sucks that he wastes so much time golfing and then talks about how "busy" he's been.

Maybe if he was rational he would do better. But then he wouldn’t be him.

Hillbuzz has an article about what Obama is actually doing when he is “golfing”.

I just got done watching the debate again, and thought that Obama did not do that bad a job. He was a little surly, and he did stare down at his podium a lot, but that was not sufficient to account for the very negative reaction people had to his performance.

I think the key is that people are just not inclined to have a favorable reaction to Obama, right now. They have heard it all before, and they know that he is lying as soon as he opens his mouth. As long as he is being reported on thought the MFM filter, this does not matter so much. But after five minutes, people remember how much they have no patience for this guy, and there is really not anything he can do or say, other than, “I’m outta here” that can lessen that reaction.

I do not believe that O lost because of preparation or the lack of it, but rather because of the accumulated habits of a lifetime.

O counted on pulling all-nighters and b.s. to pass his classes and really never had to work hard preparing for anything in his life. His use of drugs probably did him no favors either.

Everything he ever got was bestowed upon him as a result of his status as a ‘gifted minority’, not because he merited them by hard work.

Mitt’s upbringing and the way he was raised is reflected in his painstaking and detailed approach to his work, whether in grad school or preparing presentations to investors at Bain Capital. It should not be a surprise that O lost the debate. Not ever having smoked dope or snorting nose candy might also be a factor.

Maybe put an obama mask on Axelrod and have him substitute for the idiot in chief!

He went to debate school for three days before the debate. AND HE'S BEEN A SPEAKING prez FOR 3.8 YEARS (TOO MANY).

It's not about the debate...IT'S ABOUT HIS RECORD.

We're being blind sided by "performance".

No amount of “adequate” preparation would have helped obama, as he simply doesn’t have the intelligence, the wit or the desire to engage in the world of ideas.

When you rely on a teleprompter there is no preparation. Valarie Jarrett told us he is highly intelligent, what happened? Empty suit empty head thats what happened.

Top Answer:"He could have put down the pipe long enough to learn there was a debate in 10 minutes..."
