Golfing did absolutely nothing for Clinton's 'character'.
Expect the same result here.

Neil, I agree with you that it's no big deal about the golfing habits of PrezBo; but on an interesting side note: What's the one thing that people remember when presented with the name NERO? They remember that "Nero fiddled while Rome burned." ?Obama golfed while America burned?

"... maybe it would be nice to remind the people that Bush said that he didn't particularly want the Commander in Chief to be on the golf course while troops were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan."

I agree Neal. The golf thing is unimportant. But, if the right really wants to criticize the president, and do so in a "fair and balanced" way, they should mention all the days Bush spent away from the white house compared to Obama. How many weeks on end he spent clearing brush on the ranch, managing our nation during a time of war via faxes and the interwebs. Bush also spent more time bicycling than Obama term-to-date I bet, so are we going to start hearing how Obama is promoting bad health with his anti-exercise agenda? ...seriously, where is the real news?

Instead of making an argument one way or the other, Gavin Volaire does the same thing he accuses the GOP of doing. It is obvious that the press is reporting differently for Obama than for Bush. Whether it be spending, special interests, limits on personal liberty, freedom of information, the wars or golf, an action that was criticized under Bush is reported in the most positive light and even praised with obama.

I don't care, either. I just want the left-wing MSM to pillory Yobama the same way they did Bush every time he peed.

1. send Prezbo to HugoLand to play golf
2. Let BN and SFC MAC handle Afagninstan

Word is that is golf game is like his bowling game. Bowled what 37. Golf 37, then moved on to the 2nd hole.

one thing to say about osamabamas golf game...............

HE CHEATS!!!!

You know, playing golf is not a big deal. The big deal is further on down the Nuze in the "Where's the outrage?" link. Prezbo plays golf, basketball, throws White House parties, vacations and takes more trips than any of his predecessors at the same time that the can barely cut out 25 minutes in 9 months for the guys running the war in Afghanistan. THAT'S whats wrong. Instead of chilling on the golf course, he ought to reading one of those 1500 page health care overhaul bills that he has vowed to sign. Just as important, though, is the reaction by the MSM.

This is how they treated GWB on the matter:
-------------------------------------

On Aug. 5, 2002, The Washington Post wrote about President Bush golfing near his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine. Under the headline “Before Golf, Bush Decries Latest Deaths in Mideast,” staff writer Mike Allen described Bush as he “sprang from his golf cart at 6:15 a.m. and said he was distressed to hear about the latest suicide bombers in Israel.”

“Bush, wearing khakis and a knit shirt, was holding a driver in his gloved left hand,” Allen wrote.

“However incongruous the setting, the president plunged ahead,” Allen wrote.

“There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started, and we must not let them,” he [Bush] said. “I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers.”

“His business out of the way,” Allen wrote, “Bush barely paused for breath before saying, ‘Thank you. Now watch this drive.’”

-------------------------------------


With Bush, it was a daily body count and harassment any time he took time off. With Obama... not a word. If nobody brings attention to Prezbo's antics and reminds us all how GWB was treated, nobody sees the left slant of Main Stream Media.

Frankly, Presidents DO deserve time to decompress. They also deserve equal treatment by the supposed unbiased news media. Until every liberal rag runs their story slamming Prezbo and giving daily body counts due to his inaction in Afghanistan (and those bodies dying now are NOT the fault of GWB), then the rest of the world has to be vocal about it.

Big Whoop. He's probably played more basketball than Bush, but probably has run fewer miles than Bush. I agree with Boortz on this one. Who gives a flip?

- attributed to a dead wise guy named Sam Clemens.

If he's playing golf he won't be screwing up?

De spiro, spero! (as I breathe, I hope - some long dead Roman wise guy)

Now I am wondering how many strokes Obutthead records on his scorecard versus his ACTUAL number of strokes. I'd bet you a bucket of The Colonels spicy chicken wings those numbers are as bogus as the rest of the numbers he swears to.

Anybody know what 'O' shoots?

Why the Hell not? It gives him a chance to think away from the fray. If I had to deal with Pelosi and that bunch of nutsacks in Congress, I'd do it every chance I got. I will stand up for the man on this point. I'll bet he hasn't hit anyone with a ball yet either.

What I find extremely disturbing is that Obama has played 24 rounds of golf in 9 months. If I do the math here: 9 months x 4 weeks = 36 weeks therefore, he plays golf almost once per week which takes about 4 hours. Tough job or not, he asked for this job. This is just one more notch that can be counted on how he is such a complete HYPOCRITE. Spending tax payer dollars at an alarming rate and then telling bankers, execs and others that they make too much. What a complete moron.

I agree about the president needing an outlet...it's a tough job with high stress and I don't have a fundamental problem with golf as the activity to provide that stress relief. Where I have a problem is the 100 or so hours he's spent on a leisure activity compared to the time the Teleprompter-in-Chief's spent with his military commanders, or the feet dragging on a decision on A'stan to figure out if his lunatic base are going to tar and feather him for sending more troops into the region. It's disgusting and embarrassing to think that soldiers are dying in theater while he reads polls to determine if more military involvement in the war will cost the Dems the governor's office in VA and NJ. Cynical? You bet. Inaccurate? Doubtful.

I work with the Government. Except, as my career has taken me into greater positions of responsibility, my work has actually gotten more stressful, and I have less time to goof off.

I'm glad to see that at the even higher levels the stress can be cleared off with "On the Job" games like golf. And a lot of golf. (And dallying with girls with blue dresses. Let's not forget that. Doesn't take a genius to spot the stress relieving potentiality of that game.)

Sign me up for that career track. Upper Echelon, here we come!

(Just don't tell the taxpayers. It'll be our little secret.)

With all the Obama photos of b-ball, golf, dancing, partying, "jetting"; and campaigning against American citizens, businesses, talk radio, cable news and free speech when does this man actually do anything reminiscent of governing or consulting his military leaders for more than 25 minutes?
Apparently, that is left to the FAR LEFT. the New England Snobs and the Chicago Thugocracy. Pathetic Example of a president with a "Max Headroom Ego" and a Thin but Teflon skin.

Personally, I wish Obama would play golf every single day; at least that might DELAY BRIEFLY the Marxist jerk's mission of economic and military destruction. All you need to know about Obama is this: with two war fronts, the only thing he's cut spending on is....(drumroll)......
THE MILITARY. I hope all you frigging dolts who voted for this disgraceful joke of a man are happy.

You're right that people shouldn't go apoplectic over how often the president plays golf, but it's part of a bigger picture. The focus on fundraisers, the Olympic trip, the NY trip all add up to what seems like a part-time president. Added to that the frequency of televised speeches make it appear that he thinks that the bully pulpit is ALL the presidentcy is. Added to That, the several world leaders who've commented on his being amaturish and/or ill-prepared make me think he might oughta put down the sticks & focus on the job a bit more.
