Over the weekend, Obama played golf with Tiger Woods and was entertained on the private yacht. He spent 8 HOURS getting golf lessons with Butch Harmon (Tiger's former golf pro). Those lessons, by the way, go for $6,000 per hour.

This is the same president who disbanded the job council, as he was "too busy". Bush,(even though not a big Bush fan) refused to play golf at all as long as US servicemen were engaged in combat.

Obama has shown us his priorities- golf. What are yours?

No- just a competent president.

When one is hired for a job, one does not expect that "employee" to spend all his time on the golf course. Nor does one expect that a POTUS would ignore the most pressing issues of the nation- unemployment and spending- for golf.

Listen- I love golf. However, if I played as much golf as Obama, my practice would go bankrupt. Incidentally, that is what is happening to the nation as a result of Obama's neglect.

So you want him to reconvene the jobs council? That's more government.

No- it's not "more government". It is simply doing the job he was hired for. Such actions, by taking efforts to create a better environment for business, can SHRINK the government. More jobs- less food stamps, less unemployment, more federal revenue, lower taxes- less government.

If you hire an employee, do you expect them to do thier job, or to play golf?

If Obama wanted to play golf, and not tend to the nations problems-

a. why did he run again?

b. why did over half of the voters foolishly re-elect him?

c. were you voting for a golfer in Chief, or a POTUS?

Might be cheaper in the long run to let him go golfing every weekend.

Did we add or lose jobs last month?

How much of the American Jobs Act has the Congress brought up for a vote?

And this would all be solved by reconvening the jobs council?
