    Obama plays 100th round of golf as president




    President Obama is spending Father's Day in his hometown playing the 100th round of golf of his presidency. After a late night at the wedding of senior adviser Valerie Jarrett's daughter Laura, the president was out of the house just after 10 a.m. Central time for a round with frequent partners Marty Nesbitt, Eric Whitaker and Marvin Nicholson, the White House trip director.


    Mark Knoller, CBS News's longtime keeper of presidential data, says it's Obama's 100th round since taking office. And the president picked a nice course -- he's playing at the historic Beverly Country Club the southwest corner of the city.

    How is the SOB at golf? He seems really uncoordinated so a sport like golf seems like something he'd struggle at.

    He's OK, but not great. Supposedly a 17-handicap. I'd kill for a 17-handicap myself, but I suck at golf.

    The general counsel at the corporation my dad work's has played much more golf than that in 4 years, and the main brass of that corporation has also.

    Golf courses are where a lot of money changes hands.

    There is Sauna politics, and golf course business meetings/deals.

    Are you new to earth?

    How many vacation days did Bush take ? Think it was around 900, and that's not a joke or exaggeration.

    Now watch me hit this drive.....

    Hey Gnu you are the epitome of a hypocrite.

    He should just go clear brush on a ranch. That would be fine.

    Compare Obama's golf rounds to Bush's vacations - pre 9/11. Google it and do some math on the time spent. That was W's first term and it doesn't even register by comparison.
    Fail partisan OP, and failure at being human.
    Also, W's stupidity allowed 9/11 to happen - and then went to war in 2 places where they didn't attack us.
    Good game. F'n partisan hack.
