Well...here's the definitive word on Obama golfing...shut the Hell up about it!

I don’t remember, but I assume that I was one of the many Democrats who gleefully took shots at President George W. Bush for the time he spent at Crawford—and if so I regret it. Presidents are better for having time out of Washington, even better for time away with their families.

In Liberal Speak - He attacked Bush for the exact same thing, but now that Obama is doing it he understands why and it's perfectly fine.

Which makes me ask, why didn't he come to this conclusion when Bush was President? What is the difference about the President taking a vacation then, and now?

Just juxtapose his face in the Foley presser...and five minutes later with the Jim Carrey smile/shades in the golf cart.

Golf has told us more than all of Obama's talk put together.

Um it's written by an Former Obama staffer and he explains how the WH works when Obama is away:

[quote]On daily conference calls that began for us at 2 a.m. Hawaii time, the president’s team began assembling information that would be used to brief the president and the press corps. (Unfortunately, the local Starbucks was not keeping the same hours we were, and we were far too decaffeinated for hours of the first calls.)

Excellent article. Thanks.

An out and out lie. Sorry, no way around it. But he did learn a valuable lesson (I have done the same as a young NCO and officer, running my mouth when I had no idea what was going on above me). At least he admits regret, something I respect.



All in all, a good article.

Van Jones actually had the balls to say, on live national tv, that Obama hasn't played anywhere near the amount of golf as Bush did when he was president

They'll defend this guy to the grave.
