A - I have no problem with a little golf now and then, but no one has played more golf than obama, and this at a time of desperate national and international turmoil.
B - Mr. Bush stopped playing golf altogether after 9/11 to devote all of his time to his duties.
Are some of you that incapable of drawing distinctions and using discernment to properly judge one's performance or behavior?

I have a feeling he realized his "big news" wasn't gonna play, so this was his last minute replacement plan.FatHobbit;1303520 wrote:So when is he going to reveal the real big news?

So it's only golf that's the problem and not vacation days at all? Because Obama has taken fewer vacation days than those guys did.QuakerOats;1303550 wrote:A - I have no problem with a little golf now and then, but no one has played more golf than obama, and this at a time of desperate national and international turmoil.

Now, I think it's a stupid thing to criticize anyway but as long as you're going to do it be consistent.

This guy is just a turd with a wig and money, isn't he?
If I were the president, I seriously would release everything. Make him look stupid and look like the good guy in the charity department. If you're looking for a way to position yourself well in this election, The Don just handed it to you on a silver platter.
Hmm ... maybe that was Trump's plan all along. Maybe he secretly wanted Obama to get re-elected. If so, he's doing a good job!

If you want to help the poor so much why not take him up on the offer and take the evil rich guys money?

Just to spite him, I'd have him split it between an LGBT non-profit and a charity/ministry for women seeking counseling after having an abortion.elitesmithie05;1303932 wrote:If you want to help the poor so much why not take him up on the offer and take the evil rich guys money?

25 work days.
However, with two work-from-home days a week, it feels like more.

Exactly. This ought to be duck soup for obama: take $5 million off a billionaire jet owner, and redistribute it to the less fortunate. What's obama's hold up? :laugh:

I am curious to what he is hiding. Not that learning he took a bunch of socialist/marxist classes would surprise me or strike me as particularly newsworthy. But failing an economics class or two would be a hoot.QuakerOats;1304261 wrote:Exactly.
