Obama Back on the Course

I am so glad he is on top of things. No need to let a few catastrophes interfere in his recreational time. (but, of course, he's not Bush)

Just Warm Enough for Golf, Obama Back on the Course

March 12, 2011 2:38 PM

ABC News' Tahman Bradley reports:

President Obama just could not wait for spring weather to arrive.

For the second week in a row, the most powerful man in the world stepped away from the White House to hit the golf course.

Even as his administration and the U.S. military help Japan recover from a devastating earthquake, and as the world worries about Fukushima's nuclear reactor, the president could not resist taking advantage of the 48-degree weather in the Washington, D.C., area.

The president left the White House Saturday afternoon for a short trip to Joint Andrews Base in Camp Springs, Md.

With cloudy skies, it's not the best weather for golf, but Obama loves to spend his Saturdays on the greens. Last fall, Obama went golfing darn near every weekend.

These are never quick "work on your swing" trips; usually the president plays 18 holes, as he did last week.

BushIIe pledged not to play golf during a time of war. Read my lips: BushIIe lied.

quote:
President Bush said with a straight face this week that he gave up golf in honor of the fallen soldiers in Iraq, claiming that he quit after the bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad in August 2003:

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "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."

I doubt Bush was constructing a lesbian of any type.

You are going to be so disappointed in 2013. When the Tea Baggers get finished with their shenanigans in the next three years, the President will be re-elected by a landslide. The Democrats don't have to do anything but sit back and watch the circus that the Republican party has become.

6 November 2012, the beginning of the end of an error. And, its less than 20 months, not three years. Democrats, english majors, not math majors. No wonder they don't understand the massive deficit facing the nation.

It is highly probable tyhat there will a revolutuion in this country before then. I predict quick hangings for both party memebers. Kinda like Chauchesku.

I must be getting complacent because who cares that President Obama plays golf? I also didn't care that Bush played golf. Or drank beer. Or went to Crawford. In this age of technology it is foolish to believe you can't reach the president on a golf course.


YOU SIR, are a sensible man!!!!!!!!!!!

It speaks volumes that the most rabid of the right wing radical rethugliteacons have two threads listed on the recreational activities of the president.

The THUGS are slipping, maybe getting tired of defending Michele Bachmann and Sister Sarah, of course the rethugliteacon code of hypocrisy mandates that this is NEVER admitted! Roll Eyes

You hit the nail on the head.

Well, it's not like there a possible nuclear melt down about to happen and radioactive dust may move over to the California coast. Or Libya is committing homicide on half it's population.

All the dems agree, it's not our problem.

most people I know are ready to go.


You might want to take a look at the Patriot Act and see what the government can do to folks who are big talkers like you before talking treason in a public forum. You could be called an enemy combatant, which would allow the government, which you show such disdain for, to lock you up for years without being charged with a crime of seeing a lawyer. You might ask some of the dudes locked up in Gitmo what that feels like. If you feel like starting a revolution, go ahead on. We can all see that you can TALK about it.
