Hypocrisy cracks me up when it comes to politics and pundits. For 8 years all the complaints about POTUS Barry’s weekend golf trips, that the majority were local, or vacation trips are swept under the rug for POTUS Donnie.
No one should care if a POTUS takes a vacation or plays golf, bowls, eats a bowl of corn chips, but they should care on the taxpayer cost – PB/TK
Washington Times Columnist Who Regularly Attacked Obama For Golfing Suddenly Decides Presidents Playing Golf Is No Big Deal – By Kyle Mantyla | March 29, 2017
Joseph Curl, a columnist for The Washington Times, published a piece today asking everyone to just chill out about all the golf that President Trump has been playing in his first few months in office because, hey, presidents like to golf:
Presidents play golf. It’s that simple. They have since George Washington hit a 3 hybrid over the Delaware River to within six feet of the pin, and they will when George Bush XII hits a virtual 6 iron into the hole on the new Mars International Links in the year 2274.
Then there was Barack Obama, who truly loves the game. He’s terrible at it (although he claimed an “honest 13” handicap), but he loves it. Just listen to the expert commentary in this video of his golf swing for an honesty take on his form.
Obama played 306 rounds as president, the most since Eisenhower. And he took endless heat for it. It seems that while everyone is allowed to take a little break from time to time (like two days off for every five days worked), the president should never have a moment to himself.
Now comes Donald Trump, perhaps the best golfer to ever inhabit the White House. Even at age 70, he’s said to play to a 2.8 handicap (that means he’s pretty close to shooting even par every time he plays). He’s known as a nifty putter and a skilled player from inside 100 yards. And he can pound some drives (listen to the oohs and ahhs when he hits one at a pro-am tournament).
