When President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office, he would occasionally go to a country club near Washington to have a round of golf — something presidents have done for a long time. But, for some reason, this angered Donald Trump, who back then didn’t have the weight of the free world on his shoulders.

Now that President Trump is in office, he must have decided that “all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S.” have been fixed, and it’s time to play some golf. For the last couple of weekends, he’s flown on Air Force One to his private Mar-A-Largo estate, where he hits the links.

And not a peep from the usual cast of forum righties that whined incessantly about Obama playing golf.

Whither the outrage?

Crickets...
 
When's he going to play some basketball?

Golf isn't even a sport,it's just a way for wealthy men to waste their time while others work.

:lol:
 
Presidents, whether Obama or trump deserve breaks from an important job. Whether Trump should be spending tax payers money flying to Mar a Largo every weekend is debatable.
 
I remember when Obama took a Christmas vacation many Cons here flipped out about him taking time off AND the cost of flying and having to bring the SS with him. For a frickin vacation!

Now Trump's doing the same thing, but just to play golf. But I don't see the same Cons whining about Trump taking time off and the huge cost just so he can golf.

Silence when their cult leader does it.
 
Yeah, but he was just kidding.

(Oops. Well, what goes around comes around. Sigh.)
Well, that was a quick beatdown. :)

At least you have the good humor to admit it. :thumbs:
 
Since this is apparently such an important consideration, do you have a variety of quotes from Donald Trump criticizing then-President Obama for playing golf?

Crickets.

Had you bothered to read the article I linked...you would have seen several.

You can sure tell he is joking!
 
It's been a month. Let's check back in a year to see if he caught up to the dozens of rounds of golf Lord Obama played during his first year.

That's really not the point here. At his pace however, he will blow the doors off.

This is completely unacceptable to the Elite, Trump is going to have to go. I say that they produce Trumped Up charges and impeach him in a kangaroo court.

The way things are going, his little Russian problem way well be his undoing.
 
Never heard a peep from me about Obama. Besides, from what I've heard, whatever Obama was playing wasn't golf. I think they call it "Whack, ****."
