Obama is not close to being the most frequent duffer among presidents, though. One of them is probably no surprise. But the man at No. 1 may be. According to Good Morning America:
“That title falls to Woodrow Wilson, who reportedly played about 1,200 rounds during his presidency. Dwight Eisenhower is the runner-up at 800, according to his memorial commission
And Obama trails Bush and Reagan in ‘vacation’ days by a huge number.
Tauyen: the two presidents that you mention did not have a world falling to despots and terrorists while they played golf. It is not how many; it is the circumstances.
It’s telling when the mainstream media start their television or radio report on a news story with the line: “Before President Obama left for vacation….”
We see this theme over and over and over…..From Mr. Kelley and several others.
So, Mr. Kelley, here is a suggestion; When the Obama golf cartoon (OGC) date shows up on thee calendar, just rerun the last OGC. You will have the same effect, and get the same enthusiastic response from your base. In fact, your base can then save aa lot of time by just pasting in the comments they just made on somebody else’s OGC of that day.And, with the time saved, you can probably get in a round of golf!
It should be noted the name you have adopted is for comic character who is a psychopathic killer completely devoted to an abusive, mass serial killer. Kinda puts your criticisms in a context.
Hell, my sister had me take down a nicely composed, technically competent photo of her because she didn’t like it. Obama can’t not like a photo and ask it removed? Maybe he was just sorta embarrassed?
Honestly, if Obama worked 24 hours a day, you all would be complaining how out of touch with reality he is because he never relaxes. Critics just gotta be critics.

How many rounds have been played by the Congress? They seem to have a lot of time on their hands.

’Let’s have a bit of perspective here.

It isn’t necessarily a problem that the President plays golf. But when combined with a disengagement from foreign policy events it looks bad.

200 rounds in 6.5 years. I make that roughly one round every 11-12 days, i.o.w. one round every two weeks.
Meh.

200 rounds of Golf pails to George W. Bush’s 2,002.
