#1 Wish I had time for 150 rounds of golf . Too busy though , perhaps Obama should take note of what hours and effort stock Americans put into living their lives and adjust his holiday ridden timetable suitably . That being said , its probably safer for the whole world that hes on the 12th green juggling his balls

#2 trite, insipid and rote commentary removed.

Do have a nice day.

#3 Other than getting the approval of Congress and the UN, your personal 'international' law seems to be confined to your mother's basement and the limited cranial space you inhabit. However, please keep it up, as Bearing False Witness is one of the three fundamentals of Progressive Socialism. We need the examples laid before us regularly to remind us of its bankrupt principles.

#4 Real golfers don't make that pose. Especially missing a relatively short putt.

"All that for a threesome?"

#5 That pose reminds me of this. His alter-ego perhaps?

#6 I don't begrudge him, or anyone, golf playing time. It's an excellent way to get away from the pressures of problems one has caused oneself, or crises one is not mentally or emotionally capable of dealing with.

#8 The more he golfs, the less time he has to make things worse for the rest of us.

#9 "The No talent" should change jobs and try to join the PGA. Please dog, do us all a favor.

#10 300 rounds by the time he leaves office?

#11 The more he golfs, the less time he has to make things worse for the rest of us.

That notion assumes he is in charge, he isn't. He is just the facade, the real power is ValJar and whomever is giving her, her marching orders.

In fact, if you view Obama as the distraction and misdirection that he is, then one has to wonder what VJ and all those 40+ Czars are doing behind the scenes.

It ain't good.

#12 Very good point SAM - One of the few times where Obama made a decision - Osama bin Laden was killed. Since then ValJar and his other handlers have kept him on a very tight leash.

#13 I'm reluctant to give Champ any credit on OBL. At the very best it was about getting reelected -- as in someone looked at the polls in early '12 and said 'the only way we're going to win this thing is if we kill OBL.'

And that's by far the most generous intepretation of events.

#14 I think Pappy has a great point. Only a self starting volunteer would have the right stuff to handle all this. Voters realizing he is just a face man is the number one concern.

Wonder what Duffy the High Score Slayer's call sign would be?
