Obama gets whiney about the golf

Last time we got a look at reliable numbers, which was last July, President Obama had spent something like a month of his presidency on the golf course. He had also spent an additional few weeks on vacation. He has played a lot of golf and gone on a lot more vacations since then. And now he’s whining that people have noticed that he’s really not much of a worker.

“I just miss – I miss being anonymous,” he said at the meeting in the White House. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can’t take a walk.”

He says he enjoys golf but is not the fanatic that some have portrayed.

“It’s the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours at a stretch,” he said.

There’s an easy and obvious solution to all this: Don’t run for re-election.
