How do you think this round is going? LOL. Expensive caddy service throughout that course today. Our Celebrity in Chief gets to tee it up with Tiger. You wonder who set that up.

Nothing but bromides and regurgitated talk-radio. Read a newspaper. Meanwhile, I hope everyone is happy wih their hate. I do not understand why if someone disagrees with another the word hate is implied. Cannot one have a different view and not be branded a "hater"? As to reading a newspaper, i am a voracious reader plus during my education years I have been mentored by people of both sides of the political fence. One thing I was taught was to keep an open mind and to "digest" whatever is presented. I was never one to take face value of something that is being fed to me. "If we can but prevent the governent from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy". Thomas Jefferson I'm humming "God Bless America" as I type this with a tear in my eye and flag in my hand. America is truly a great land. Thank you Mr. Jefferson for giving us those freedoms and to proudly be able to demonstrate my freedom of speech by saying, "Our President is a complete and utter Jack@ss." If you disagree with Jaypet you should practice tolerance! |

Wow this was a fun forum. To get back to the original point. I am not a fan of the President, but I have no problem with the guy golfing...or golfing with Tiger.
Does the President take a lot of vacations...yes. But he also has the hardest most stressful job in the country...and lets face it he is not very good at it so that makes it even more stressful. I think his choice of vacation time is a bigger deal than if he takes vacations. As for golf addicted Presidents I will take Eisenhower. The man installed a putting green in the White House lawn, he belonged to Augusta National and he wore metal spikes in the Oval Office. My favorite story about Eisenhower. It was said that when he left office and JFK came into office, that JFK had to have the floors redone because of all of the spike marks. I heard that JFK had a plank removed and sent it to Eisenhower (not sure if it was a joke or an insult). If there is one piece of Presidential memorabilia I would like...its that plank. |

I have no problem with folks disagreeing with policy, but much of what I read here is simple hate. I was hoping for more than name-calling from my fellow golfers. I have plenty of criticism for O, but he'll never hear it because I can't afford a donation to get face time. Had my chance in '94, long before he became a politician. Had dinner at his place. Great conversation. I knew he had Elvis in him then. Perhaps when he retires, I'll see him out a local muni here in Chicago and I can give him an earful. Hate. Let me tell you when I first saw it. March, after the '08 election. The last payphone on earth exists on the fifth at my local 9-holer. When we approached the tee, a man slammed down the phone after screaming expletives at whom he later explained was United Airlines. He then went on to tell us it was Obama's fault: "That fuckin' N***r!" Off his hinges! Later it seemed every jamkoe was blaming everything on Obama, very little of it legitimate. It hasn't stopped. People are making fortunes on the radio/TV trying to find a smoking gun to exploit. None of it has stuck as O's was reelected, his ratings are going up, the economy is getting better, and we're getting out of the hole we were put in from the from the mortgage crisis (remind me to ask him what took Holder so long to prosecute the banks who really caused said hole). So, I have no other conclusion but to think most of the hate is irrational. Some of us are Callaway, some of us are TaylorMade. Obama isn't your brand. Fair enough if you can admit that to yourself. Hate the policies, not the man and you'll have my respect. With that being said, we can hate Callaway or TaylorMade. We can also hate on Obama for his policies and for that matter Obama himself. Nothing personal here but I can't stand the SOB. I appreciate your view on him. Thats your view. Its respected. All Presidents get blamed. This one seems to blame everyone else. Don't they usually call those type of people spineless? Just curious. I know one thing, I sure am happy "his wife is FINALLY proud to be an American". When you or I lie or be deceitful, its looked down on. When a President lies its just Politics. Go figure. One thing we have going for us all is we only have 3yrs. 10mo. of Celebrity in Chief left. Hopefully America can still recover from the debt. There is nothing personal here. Just personal views. Be thankful we have views from both sides. Best! |

He's a frigging idiot.
His only claims to fame are that he got to hang with the Miami Heat and Tiger Woods. Great resume for a POTUS. Ha ! He blames everyone else for his failures. Oh, and he moderated a beer drinking pow-wow with a white cop who was simply doing his job and a brother professor who had a racist attitude. Really? Why is the POTUS even getting involved at the local level? Oh, I know the answer, ...because he's a racist idiot. In just over 3 more years his name will be forgotten for all time. Skinny Socialist Idiot. ( I never said I hated him )........just my opinion which the Constitution of the United States of America allows me to have. ( insert middle finger emoticon ) |
