Rob's House Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/262438/president-takes-bogey-jonah-goldberg?page=1 Another great bit by Jonah. On the budget and questions of our long-term fiscal survival, he’s AWOL. On Libya, he talks as if we’re doing everything in our power to “tighten the noose” on Qaddafi, while it’s very clear that tightening the noose means running out the clock. Gas prices are skyrocketing, but all Obama does is claim credit for increased oil production that entered the pipeline under his predecessor.

DC Tom Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 And he does play a lot. In his first year in office, Obama played more rounds of golf than George W. Bush did in two full terms. He’s now close to tripling Bush’s eight-year total, though that’s misleading since Bush vowed to stop golfing in 2003 because “playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signals.” That clarifies the golf stats, but not exactly in Obama’s favor since we’re still at war and the president has been nothing if not abundantly clear that he considers himself a greater moral exemplar than his predecessor. Seriously? No, seriously? A comparative analysis of presidential golf frequence required TWO PARAGRAPHS???? Even better...go to the National Review's home page, and they currently have TWO DIFFERENT STORIES about Obama's irresponsible golf frequency. Seriously?

Even better...go to the National Review's home page, and they currently have TWO DIFFERENT STORIES about Obama's irresponsible golf frequency. Seriously? It's not just golf. It's that he plays golf all the time, he seems to know more about women's college basketball than he does about the middle east, can't seem to muster a coherent thought about any major issue lately, and that he's a thin skinned whiney little man child trying to play President and doing a piss poor job of accomplishing anything other than demonstrating that he's in way over his head. He acts like he's an international playboy and being President is his part time job. As far as NRO, I won't vouch for them, but I will vouch for Jonah. The guy's solid.

Yeap, solidly took part in scaring US on bogus Iraq WMD claim, rushing us into a war not in America's interest ----------------- Jonah Goldberg was a cheerleader for the unprovoked, unilateral US attack on Iraq. The reason he repeatedly gave was that Iraq was close to having a nuclear weapon ..... Jonah Goldberg: We've just seen this last week what a problem North Korea is once it has a nuclear weapon. Once a county has a nuclear weapon, it becomes almost impossible to deal with it using military force. And then that country can basically blackmail the world for whatever it wants, and that's what North Korea is doing today. . . . we do not want to take to ignore problems in the world before they become insurmountable, and that's why it is a proactive approach to try to keep Saddam Hussein from becoming the North Korea of the Middle East, and he would be extremely dangerous if he did that.

You mean the time Bush took off the whole month of August 2001... August? That is before 9-11, right? Yeah, it is ridiculous... But man.... Where can I get a job that offers a month off druing the first 8 months! I jest of course, I jest.... But boy does it make nice fodder. It is amazing that people rehash the same crap all the time..

Yes, in fairness to Rob's point, there was a story in the MSM almost weekly about how Bush was golfing/at his ranch/on vacation/etc when Iraq/9-11/floods/famine/locusts were devastating the country. I've yet to see much hub-bub over Obama's leisure schedule, but maybe that's because everything has gone so wonderfully for the country over the past 2+ years.

Rob's House Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think half you guys just read the headline and start posting. It's not that he vacations a lot, it's the bigger picture. He can play golf every day for all I care. I'm actually glad he's too preoccupied with NCAA brackets, trips to sandy beaches, links, and whatever else gets him off, to "do something" about the multitude of major issues facing us domestically and internationally, because his "solutions" usually fall outside the range of that which could be considered not retarded. I'm not much of a Bush guy, so the double standard talk won't hold up here, but it is interesting that the same shrill puppets of media that were wringing their hands at the fact that Bush spent a lot of time in Crawford (which apparently doesn't have phone service, fax machines, or the !@#$ing internet) can't stumble overthemselves fast enough to defend their laid back, speech reading, good timing man child. Bush never sounded particularly bright, but he did seem engaged, impassioned, and strong, even when he was off the teleprompter. Who knows what this guy thinks? As the column states, he could be working tirelessly behind the scenes, but I see nothing to indicate that, and when he does speak lately he comes off more like a guy who spends more time watching sitcoms and reality TV than getting informed on the issues that are important for a man in his position.

This argument is akin to saying that a player's twittering somehow detracts from their play on the field or film study, etc. Its a moronic argument, no matter who is in office.

So are you arguing that Obama plays too much golf, which interferes with his leading the country...or that he doesn't play enough, which interferes with his !@#$ing up the country?

So all of a sudden a player tweeting means he's hitting up the clubs every night and not studying the playbook? Thats just as moronic as saying that the president golfing or going on vacation means he's not keeping up with world affairs or paying attention to the country, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 If Rob was up on things he'd realize that Obama only plays golf courses that are Aligned in such away that the player always faces Mecca, What very few people understand is that the Knights Templar brought golf to Scotland along with Scottish Rite Free Masonry from the Holy Land. Golf is symbolic of a Muslim practice of Shai-reereeree. After a Massacre of Christians they'd dig two pits a suitable distance away from their living center, one pit was for the headless bodies which were dragged or carted, the other pit was for the heads which in the practice of Shai-reereeree children wacked with sticks until the heads fall into the pit. The 18 holes symbolize 18 great massacres celebrated by the Knights Templar because they were making dead kings and keeping score no matter who was getting Massacred. btw this is the reason Golf courses have sand traps no matter where on earth they are located.
