Obama and his use of time

Do I care if what a president does on his own time, in the privacy of his residence or room or wherever he is physically located - onvacation or on tour -  nope.
Do I care if the president does not report everything to us every day - nope.
Do I care if the president is just not interested in all the bullshit on any given day/week - nope.
Do I care if a president plays golf everyday - nope.
Do I care if a president goes on one vacatiuon to Hawaii and costs the American taxpayers many millions of dollars - nope.
Do I care if the president goes to a Broadway play and costs the American taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars - nope.
Do I care if a president doesn't keep every promise he makes when he campaigns to become president - nope.
What I do care about is hysteria and for eight years Democrats, and to be honest not all Democrats, mostly the ones on the left side, were apoplectic everytime Bush was in the news.  They kept track of how many balls he hit, how many days he spent at his ranch, how often he snickered or drooled, how many times he slurred or guffawed or ... and it was hysteria.  It was as if the anti-Christ was in residence, ironic given the far left are rarely if ever religious, however much they feign obeisance to some form of religious idea.

Yet their standard-bearer behaves more like Bush on some issues than Bush and I have never read any expression of outrage over the time Obama has spent golfing.

Bush played golf about 24 times in 8 years.  Obama has played 57 up through 12/31/10.  Doubled in less time.



The following from the English Telegraph, April 2010


Barack Obama plays golf eight more times than George W Bush



President Barack Obama has played golf 32 times since he took office, eight more than his predecessor George W. Bush - who was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game - did in his entire presidency.

Mr Obama's latest outing on the links came on Sunday, when an opportunity opened up on his schedule after flying bans over most of northern and central Europe forced him to cancel his trip to Krakow to attend the funeral of Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president.

Mr Bush was shown in the Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11 condemning "terrorist killers" in the Middle East when asked a question on the golf course in 2002. Barely pausing for breath, he added: "Thank you. Now watch this drive."

Mr Bush later gave up golf, saying in a 2008 interview: "I don't want to some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf... And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

The golfing figures were compiled by Mark Knoller of CBS Radio, the unofficial White House statistician.

Mr Obama's Sunday golf game prompted anger in Poland, where the Warsaw Business Post carried a headline reading: "Obama goes golfing instead of attending Kaczynskis' funeral".
