Yes, it is a canard, as Bush's vacations were. With modern

some after only nine months. IMO, he can golf all he wants.

Yes and no. It becomes a political issue when one side makes enough
of a fuss about it to cause a President to react by not participating
in a "relaxing" activity. What's fair is fair - you make it a
political issue, then it becomes a political issue.

Frankly, I honestly don't care either. However, again to be fair and
balanced, the media and the Left made a big deal about President
Bush's golf outings during times of economic stress and two wars. So
why aren't they making the same comparision for President Obama who
has, as of today, made more golf outings in the first nine months of
his Administration than Bush did in three years of his administration
under the same conditions?

D O U B L E S T A N D A R D ! ! ! ! Oh, and the complete and
deliberate failure of the minority media to report honestly.

Interesting...

"Obama?s unannounced 25-minute meeting with Army Gen. Stanley
McChrystal"

"It was Obama and McChrystal?s first meeting in person since the general
took over all American and NATO forces on the ground in June."

"The fact that Obama had not talked with McChrystal since his report was
submitted at the end of August generated criticism"

Well, well. Seems I am not a liar after all. Forget the "behind closed
door" meetings. He has spent more time on Sunday morning talk shows
alone than...

And then there's this..

"The strategy McChrystal has promoted is based on the one unveiled by
Obama in March"

....But never implemented, why not? That's what I would like to know, I
bet a lot of other thinking Americans would like to know that too...
