I do condemn him for playing THAT much of it. Golf's an incredibly time-consuming game and he's been playing it all the time lately and has amassed 185 rounds during his presidency. That's 925 hours at least. That's irresponsible.

If he earned the money to buy the ranch, then yes.
Has O bought a ranch?

For a guy who was so on message and so in control of his image throughout his campaigns the fact that his administration is SO bad at managing the optics of this and other incidents like it is astounding.

I would imagine the ranch where he spent all of his free time away from the White House probably had a fairly complete alternate office set up, as opposed to whatever temp shite they have to throw together wherever across the world obama goes on his vacations.

If he works out an hour a day, that'd be over 2,000 hours so far in his presidency. Is that irresponsible, too? Impressive the things you find to gripe about.

family ranch
Pathetic example.
Prairie Chapel Ranch was not always a vacation for Bush. That private residence hosted a lot of world leaders....some of whom refuse to speak to Obama.
