EDITORIAL: The Golfer in Chief - Washington Times

EDITORIAL: The Golfer in Chief - Washington Times
"Marathon golf sessions often with high-roller partners are only one aspect of Mr. Obama's growing image problem.
While America suffers, Mr. Obama is hosting gala events at the White House, hanging out with rock stars, making pro-forma photo ops and then returning to Washington to 'clear his mind.'
We're surprised to hear that his mind is cluttered with anything, but he does have a busy travel schedule.
Last week, for example, Mr. Obama spent between $500,000 and $1 million of taxpayer money to fly to Ohio to deliver a 10-minute speech touting his purported achievements.
Because of the presidential presence, the work site Mr. Obama visited was closed for the day, taking work hours away from the working man.

'That's $200 we are missing out on,' said construction worker George Harrison.
'Everybody needs to eat, right?'
Eat cake, George."
