Have you ever been the manager of more than 10 people? Have you ever been the CEO of a massive corporations?

If not, then you have no idea how business is done.

I'm sure if Obama didn't golf, that would magically improve the economy.

No, I only have 14 people here to manage......

CEO? Nah, I don't know ins and outs of insider trade raiding (aka stealing legally).

Not saying that at all.

His golfing just gives the impression to the public that he really isn't focused on their most immediate issues - mainly jobs, economy, home losses.

No matter what the reality of the golf / meeting is, it's what the public perceives that sticks.

You're right.

Then again, maybe he's been playing longer?

obama doesn't seem to be very athletic....have you seen him bowling? Wheeeeeee.......

Sarah Palin was a State Champion Basket Ball player....obama, not so much.

His golf "skills" are, well, unskillful.

How about the way he throws! LOL! My daughter threw more like a ball player at 5 years old!

Good grief, you talk as if he's spending the whole weekend golfing. Last week there was a thread criticizing Obama for golfing on Sunday, after he had spent two nights at Camp David with his family.

I look at the golf as Obama's stress management method, kind of like posting on CD.

Bush golfed a lot. He won a second term. Not that many people seemed to care when he golfed. I didn't, but then again I know that a president doesn't have to sit behind a desk 24/7 to do the job. Plus, he's golfing with Boehner. Hopefully the golfing can forge a working partnership between the two men.

Of course, this is probably the first round of golf this year for Boehner, while the fool in chief spends more time on his putting than the economy. Even Bush canceled playing golf while our troops were engaged in combat. Despite Bush's relative poor performance as president, he was light years better than Obama and at least had some sense of decency toward our troops.

I did not like Bush during his presidency and had no qualms about expressing my dissatisfaction (no donations to the republican party during his tenure). However, every liberal defends Obama to the core and supports him, despite his miserable performance. It really leads one to believe that liberals really do not care about the performance of the president and the well being of the nation, as long as there is a democrat in the White House. This, of course, underlies the irrational behavior of the average liberal and is a reflection of the policies that they embrace in general. When one is not able to think rationally, the actions that one takes will reflect that capacity.

Vote for misery- vote Obama.
