If he's not, he should give up golf also. Thank God there is only a two term limit for running for president. If not, the crats would fine a way to get that idiot back in office for a 3d term. Ouch!!!

Clarifying Obama vs. Bush on golf and vacation days

Rounds of golf (to date) while President: Obama 222, GW Bush 24
http://obamagolfcounter.com
"Bush played many fewer rounds as president -- 24, mainly because he stopped in 2003, since it sent the wrong message when troops were fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq."
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/aug/23/who-took-more-vacation-george-w-bush-or-barack-oba/
On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled 407 days at the same point in his presidency.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/aug/23/who-took-more-vacation-george-w-bush-or-barack-oba/
Obama has taken 2 more vacations since then to Cambodia and Tokyo.
Somehow, this calculation doesn't account for golf as "vacation days," though anyone who plays golf knows that it takes most of the day to play when all is said and done. If this were the case, Obama has 347 days and Bush 407, where he spent ALL of his "vacation" days at his or his parent's house. Obama has 21 months to go.
COSTS: Obama >$144 million and counting. Bush >$20 million in travel expenses, other?.

interesting. I agree with you with wondering how a day of golf isnt considered vacation when going to your own house or your parents house is.... If Im not mistaken I think W had a fully operational office at his house in Tx. I think the money spent is the most telling factor, but thats me.

He takes work with him wherever he goes.
Pubs rip Obama for golfing, Dems ripped Bush for ranching. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
...I voted for Ron Paul.
