Keeping busy, Mr President? Obama heads out for his 60th game of golf since reaching the White House… as he also takes up brewing his own beer

According to statistics compiled by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who keeps close tabs on the president’s activities, Mr Obama played 28 rounds in 2009, 30 rounds in 2010, and two this year.

It is far more than his predecessor George W Bush managed in his entire presidency.

However:

Mr Bush announced he was giving up golf in 2003 because of the war in Iraq, explaining, ‘I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.’

Obviously, Obama doesn’t give a flying how his extra curricular activities strikes the public in general. He is, after all, Teh ONE, and he can do what he damn well pleases. Should we add up all the parties, and vacations too? Just how often does he actually behave like the leader of the ‘free world’? I would have to answer that with a big fat…..NEVER! Not once has he ever appeared to be a leader of even a Boy Scout troop.

While I don’t begrudge a president having a little down time now and then, it would be nice if we had a president who had a little ‘up time’ now and then. I guess his behavior is an indication of what he’s up to while he SHOULD dealing with world crisis’, out of control spending, gas prices going through the roof, and the price of everything following along. After all, making your own micro brew and playing golf is a lot more fun that dealing with reality, isn’t it.

    IMHO, Obama wants to ruin America and seems to be doing a successful job of it.

    I would guess that he feels that he can take a lot of time off; because, he has been very sucessful in doing what he wants done!!!   :(

    Yep Gary….he’s succeeding at what he set out to do.  I don’t know if we can survive another 2 years of that fool, but we’re a tough breed, for the most part (exclude libtards).

    Blue, are there enough Reps with cajones to even start the impeachment process?  He’s sure done enough to warrant it.
