Just going by the greens fees this komrade claims he's paying and what those fees are here in my area I'd say he's talking about putt putt golf, not real golf. Claims he's walking the course too and I don't doubt that but being that he cites San Diego as the scene of the mime I'll wager he's omitting his ten year old illegal alien caddy from the account.
(both accounts, the story and the expense account, the one his CPA keeps in the other file). I wouldn't bother with a caddy to carry a cheap putter around on the indoor/outdoor carpet between the windmills, clowns and koi ponds but to each his own.
Anyhoo, the libtards are right to be apprehensive about scrutiny of Glorious Comrade Leader's lust for the links as we head into the most important election since our pre Dealy Plaza days.
Many of our Presidents have enjoyed a round of golf, some 15 of them, nothing wrong with that. George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton both took up golf while in office. A wise old man once told me "everything in moderation, nothing in excess". Words to live by. Ike had a putting green installed outside the Oval Office. Many an important icebreaker has been achieved in arguably the most relaxed bipartisan setting available, the golf course. Too much of a good thing though is not a good thing.
George W. Bush recognized that. He eschewed any more golf out of respect for our troops in harm's way, playing his last round in office in Oct. '03 after he took us into Iraq. Ronald Reagan played very little golf while in office. Once in 1983 while playing a round at Augusta a warped mind crashed his pick up truck through the gates of the club, caused a scene and brandished a pistol. He took hostages in the pro shop and fired a shot into the floor. He demanded to speak with the President. Via radio telephone from a Secret Service vehicle by the 16th green President Reagan established a connection, identified himself and attempted to arrange the release of the hostages. He was hung up on three times yet eventually the perpetrator surrendered. Upon that President Reagan remarked that he could not abide innocent people being hurt for the sake of his pleasure and he never played another round of golf again while in office.
George W. Bush was our President for eight years. In that time he played 24 rounds of golf but swore off it as cited above. Since Glorious Comrade Leader has assumed office he has hit the links seemingly at every turn, whenever he can. As of March 2011 he has chalked up 71 rounds, the latest date I could find figures for. Perhaps the MSM has realized this is a touchy subject and decided to conveniently omit further coverage on the subject?
So the score between G.W. and G.C.L. for those who are counting stands at 24 to 71 confirmed.
Being that the last reported round as of late is not as of late and the fact that spring has sprung and we are into another summer I feel it is safe to say that we are being kept in the dark. Of course he has been on the course, I'll bet there have been more sightings of this elusive creature by surprised weekend duffers haplessly coming upon men in black wearing sunglasses hiding behind rhododendrons and having their cellphone cameras wiped clean on the spot as our hero plays through.
We have had Presidents who enjoyed a round now and then and that will continue with future Presidents no doubt. What we are seeing now though is a cavalier attitude in light of the myriad crises now rampant which our leader should be addressing fully. We, the people, don't seem to be too high on the list of his priorities nor are the pressing problems on the world stage. It's all good when you've got a good lie.
Let them eat cake.
