No. And he also shouldn't shite. He should have a colostomy bag and shite that way so that he doesn't leave his office. On weekends, he shouldn't play golf or spend time with his family. He should be at his desk, with his colostomy bag working!

He makes it onto the golf course more than all of the lawyers, doctors, and engineers I know.

They have to wait for him to get off the course, since his presence shuts it down for everyone else.
Think about it, Zero on the golf course probably helps get more done for this country than any place else he could be.

Am I the only non democrat voter that doesn't give a shite if the President plays golf? I mean, I'm stressed out in my job, and I don't have time to play golf, but a round every once in a while would do wonders for my stress level.
I can only imagine what the stress level of the President is.
Regardless of what I think of his politics or competency, if playing golf allows him a few hours of stress relief, more power to him.

I actually don't care if he is playing golf all of the time.
However, his people should care and he should care because perception is often turned to reality in the minds of people.
I think the average US voter has grown tired of his reactive way of governing. Nothing every seems to be proactive to prevent problems - it seems to be more reactive once the toothpaste is out of the tube.
Him playing golf all of time only serves to reinforce that perception - whether it is reality or not.

Well said! Have an upvote

I'd like that fricker to qualify for his PGA Tour card.
If he's not leading or following, golf at least keeps his arse out of the way.

If there are members of the military deployed and dying the POTUS should not be playing golf.

or take vacations
i don't care what president is in office, doing those kinds of things while our troops are getting killed just rubs me the wrong way.

Meh, IDGAF. In my perfect world the president wouldn't have enough to do to keep him busy all day everyday.

Rush had a pretty good explanation on all this yesterday.

Obama is a better president when he's on the golf course, on a beach in Hawaii, or on a vacation somewhere.
He's lousy when he's actually trying to do things. He's been a better president as a whole since he's been completely gridlocked.

I think that Presidents are often so removed from everyday reality that they don't understand how certain activities look to regular citizens. All of the Presidents in my lifetime have been guilty of this from time to time.
I personally have no problem with any Presidential vacation as I know the job stays with them whoever they are. In fact I think it was Nancy Reagan that said Presidents don't get vacations, they just get a change of scenery.

So no President in the last several decades should ever have had a break or a vacation?
It's very clear how much the Presidency ages someone.

During his eight-year presidency, Bush did take 879 days of vacation, including 77 trips to his Texas ranch. So far, Obama has taken about 150 days off

“Presidents don’t get vacations — they just get a change of scenery,” Nancy Reagan once said in defense of her husband’s frequent trips to his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.
In the nuclear age, presidents may have only minutes to make a decision that could affect the entire world. They don’t so much leave the White House as they take a miniature version of it with them wherever they go. Some 200 people accompany a president on vacation — including White House aides, Secret Service agents, military advisers, and experts in communications and transportation — to ensure that, while on vacation, the president can do nearly everything he could accomplish in Washington.

Think about that for a minute. The president of the U.S., juggling the American economy and the entire world’s problems — Iraq is in full meltdown, the Middle East is a powder keg, Russia is moving on Ukraine — has played golf nearly as much as a guy whose day job is playing golf.

Please stop with this nonsense…if you factor all the trips to the golf course and flying around for the fund raisers would equal Bush going to the ranch.
