White House spokesman Bill Burton stood before the press on Monday and defended President Obama’s obsession with golf. We assume that Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “Even I can’t go out there with a straight face and defend this one. Bill, time for you to step up to the big podium.”
The Hill reports the President’s efforts to plug the 18 damn holes:
White House spokesman Bill Burton on Monday said the president deserves some time to relax, and he doesn’t “think that there’s a person in this country that doesn’t think that their president ought to have a little time to clear his mind.”
During the weekend, Obama played the 39th round of golf of his presidency, according to reports.
White House reporters joke among themselves about who might get stuck with weekend pool duty, which seems more likely than not to include a few hours sitting at the food court near either Andrews Air Force Base or Fort Belvoir while Obama hits the links.
But Burton dismissed Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s criticism that Obama should stay away from the links.
Speaking at the daily White House briefing, Burton said Obama needs some time to himself after dealing with the business of his office.
Yes, the President needs time to himself. Well, himself and the other three guys in his foursome, that is. For the country’s sake, we hope he gets a lot of time to himself beginning in January, 2013.

If Obama is not evil just greedy and he really doesn't care if he is a one term president is because he will retire a very rich man. He doesn't give a flying finger about us. He enjoys being President but doesn't care for the work a typical liberal freak. They are ALL alike. This is the ONE time that I say that. Because ALL committed liberals that I have talked to, love the perks of the jobs but if it gets too hard they dont want to deal with it and pass the buck.

Gibbs was at his gynecologist having a papp smear!
Nope, he had to be at his proctologist!
I have seen Obama's golf swing, & I will just say that considering how often he tees it up, his swing is awful. 1 of the shittiest swings I've seen this side of Charles Barkley for a guy who is supposed to be athletic. I guessing if he was honest about how he keeps score, his average score should be around 115-125 for a round. He might want to get some coaching as well, it's not like he has anything better to do.
