The President's Golfing Trips

From the Washington Times

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation's president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.

On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio's Mark Knoller.
...
Mr. Obama has played golf far more often than former President George W. Bush. In his eight years in office, Mr. Bush played just 24 times. His last time as president was Oct. 13, 2003.

He said in 2008 that he gave up golf "in solidarity" with the families of soldiers who were dying in Iraq.
...
Since Mr. Obama took office, 397 soldiers have died in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Another 151 have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom.


President Obama: Perhaps you should golf everyday and continue to call the Tea Party Movement the "true threat" to the United States.

And Democrats continue to say that former President Bush was the uncaring, insensitive person. Life must be nice being a Democrat: No matter what you do, you continually state that you "Care More" and "Look out for working Americans." Unfortunately, many working Americans have lost their jobs, and are still looking for work.
