Yep; the count is up to 25 rounds this year...I think that is more than Tiger has played.

This weekend Obama took a break from his "pass this bill/spread the wealth/tax the wealthy" tour and packed his golf clubs in a 12-limousine calvacade to play with health food guru Sam Kass (also WH chef).

It was a beautiful day of golfing for the Slacker In-Chief !

Only 468 more days and counting down.....

Another deceptive article - what has Obama been doing the last 5 weeks??? Traveling and hitting the road- had you been not watching Faux news and listening to Rush you could have caught him in dallas last week Whirlway- also- Obama has a long way to go to catch up to Bush's vacation days:

In reality we are better off if the campaigner in chief stays on vacation. Costs less than paying for him to travel around giving campaign speeches.

I hear he's teeing it up with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Odds are looking like he will not be able to catch up .... Bush had 8 years.

I don't like President Obama, but let's be fair. The President never has a vacation. His work follows him wherever he goes. I criticize the job he's doing, but it is a tough job. Michelle, however, that's another story.

And was at his ranch, Camp David, or his parents 1000+ days. More than 1/3 of his total time in office.

Where are your math skills?

Nothing in your CBS link adds up to 1,000 days of vacation time for Bush.

But it does prove that Obama has already played more rounds of golf in less than one year than Bush did in eight years !

Your math skills equal your reading skills. Also, good to see your powers of analysis are as sharp as ever.

How many days is that? How many fund raisers? How much money raised?
Why am I asking you? You can't add anything but rounds of golf.

Number Of Visits To Camp David: 149, totaling all or part of 487 days

Number Of Visits To His Texas Ranch: 77, totaling all or part of 490 days

Number Of Visits To His Parents' Home In Kennebunkport, Maine: 11, totaling all or part of 43 days.

Still waiting for whirlaway (or any of his cronies on this site) to explain how taking the time to play a round of golf is any different than taking the time to go on a bike ride. Or watch a movie. Or any of the other dozens upon dozens of leisurely activities Presidents (all Presidents) partake in while in office.

You will probably have time to play a round or two of golf before you hear from him. Maybe even a thousand days for vacation.

Playing golf, watching a movie, riding a bike, boinking Michelle, whatever. The President is never off duty. Reagan took more time off than anyone, but he had good people (not great), on average, working for him. Well, good for government work. All right, they were idiots too, but it looked better.

The President is never more than a minute from communication gear that allows him to speak with anyone he needs to. It's like you say. He is never really off duty.

See, Munch? We CAN agree on something! Cool, ain't it?

Whirlaway · 10-12-2011, 08:15 AM
