Your thoughts on President Obama's Golfing
I expect the fire bombs from some DUers however...
With the poor economy, high unemployment, failed HCR, the wars & possible terror attempts I wish he would curb his golfing.
Just imagine the posts condemning a repub president if he were golfing during these turbulent times.

1. What he does on his leisure time doesn't concern me.
Everyone needs a hobby.
Except President Bush, right?

I agree 100%
I don't begrudge any President their hobbies and/or leisure time, because truth be told, they're never really on vacation, even if they are away from the White House.
Except President Bush, right?

6. Ditto. I didn't care what Bill Clinton did with his time-off, and I don't care what Obama does now.
No mention of President Bush?

25. Right on. Now Bush's golfing pissed me off, but they claimed he quit playing after 9/11. Always
wondered why we never saw pictures of him golfing. Figured he wasn't any good.
A little honesty.

2. Impeachment is the only answer....
It was when President Bush was in office.

3. I never had a problem with W* golfing..............

His running the country in the ground for eight years had little to do with his choice of sport.
But it bothers you little that Lord Zero continues to dig the grave of the US?

5. Hell, I never had a problem with Bush "clearing brush"...
The frequency with which he felt the need to clear brush, yes...but never the act.
Pretty sure that Lord Zero has spent more time away from the WH than President Bush did in a comparable time.

Well we know what Clinton did on his time off. He was getting off with a pudgy intern.

Well how about working up some real outrage... you know, like the outrage you worked up every time Bush took a vacation?

When Bush was prez all they could do was complain when he was on vacation or engaging in recreational activity. To claim otherwise is an out and out lie.
Com'n primitives, at least make an attempt to hide your hypocracy.

Everyone talking about presidential recreation brought one of my favorite images to mind.
Gotta love a man who rides in on a white horse!

BTW this lovely animal's name is El Alamein for anyone who may be interested. He was a gift to the president from then Mexican president Jose Lopez Portillo y Pachecho in 1981 and was a purebred Arabian stallion. President Reagan had a gift and was a natural horseman.

I've got 2 mares I would love to breed with that fine animal! Both are pure Arabian. Although one is just a little nutz!
