President Obama earned his title as "golfer in chief" over eight years, becoming the first duffer who spent the most time on the greens since former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller, who keeps an accurate database on presidential movements and actions, said Obama has golfed 333 times during his eight years, the last few outings in Hawaii during the first family's Christmas vacation last month.

Obama can take more than four hours for a round of golf, and friends said that he always kept an accurate score, refusing do-over shots, or mulligans...

So he spent one out of four days golfing. If you calculate based on a five day work week and pretend that he worked all weeks (and didn’t take numerous long, long vacations), he arranged one-third of his time in office around golf games. Say, did he really go to the greens every other day, or did he often just sneak off someone else? One can’t trust the official calendar to have the full or true story.

Lewis Grizzard once remarked how his father never forgave Ike for all the time he spent golfing at Augusta National.

God only knows what Grizzard would have said about Obama.

But if he cheated twice each time, that would meet his quota.

No one ever commented on BO’s golf score. Perhaps because the limp wristed pantywaist can’t break 120???

Lewis Grizzard!

What a fun read!

I still recall a column he wrote about his old dog swimming across a pond.He was worried about the distance and the condition of his dog.

You just knew he was writing about his less than robust heart.

I guess his job is only half done at 333.

Every time you see a pic of Obozo walking on to the green, he is carrying a handful of clubs, a sure sign of a hack that chunks his way to the green.

Every time you see a pic of Odumbo putting, he is kicking his leg up like a Rockettes dancer because he “just missed” a putt - by three feet.

The ONE time a vid slipped out of him on the driving range, he was chunking the ball 50 yards while gouging the range like a backhoe. They’ve never let anyone near the course or range since then.

His swing is a shadow of himself, weak-kneed, limp-wristed, uncommitted and indecisive. He fails at golf just as he fails at leadership.

And since he had a caddy, that’s 666 person-events. Coincidence? I think not ...

Almost a year of golf in eight years of office.
