President Bush golfed a full 18 holes 24 times in just under three
years taking some intense heat about golfing when the country was in
two wars and facing difficulties economically.

President Obama has golfed a full 18 holes 24 times in just under ten
months taking zero heat about golfing while the country is in two wars
and facing difficulties econmically.

You're such an easy target. How many vacation days had Bush
accumulated in his first ten months? I'm thinking it was about five
months.


Not sure in his first 10 months, but he vacationed about 1/3 of his
presidency. Absolutely obscene!

A President is never on vacation.
Except when golfing. Totally decadent pastime.
No redeeming value, and drains the soul of all integrity.
Fishing is the cure.

You need to read "Golf in the Kingdom" by Michael Murphy.

It may indeed be a decadent sport from your perspective but it didn't
come about that way nor is it fair to paint everyone who plays golf
with that brush.

I suppose you know that I'm feeling wet paint on my face...

We WANT Obama to be on vacation.

Bush vacationed plenty and look what he was able to accomplish.

We ended up 8 years behind where we started.

Think I'll remain ignorant about gold. Feels good.

Paintball?
You're right. Golf ain't so bad.
