REPORT: OBAMA SPENT TWICE AS MUCH TIME ON VACATION/GOLF AS ECONOMY

According to a new report by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI), President Barack Obama has spent over twice as many hours on vacation and golf (976 hours) as he has in economic meetings of any kind (474.4 hours).

The report, “Presidential Calendar: A Time-Based Analysis,” used the official White House calendar, Politico’s comprehensive presidential calendar, and media reports through March 31, 2013 to calculate its results.

GAI’s findings may actually understate Obama’s recreational hours.

Last year, Obama told CBS News that playing golf is “the only time that for six hours, I'm outside." But instead of six hours, GAI counted a round of golf as taking just four hours. Likewise, for presidential vacation hours, researchers attributed just six hours of any day of vacation to leisure activity.

The object of golf is to get the ball in the hole. Obamas attention should be on getting the country out of the hole.

Maybe not a bad thing considering everything he has ever proposed/done to stimulate the economy has been a dismal failure and has ended up costing tax payers much more than any benefit received.

FRAUD is so right 817AM. I can't stand when I read all of those liberals saying that he is the best President we have ever had in office - makes me ill. Our great country is going down the tubes a little more each day and to watch him and his communist staff destroy us is sickening. I am so tired of him blaming everything on someone else. It's what the Liberals do it seems.

Now ponder this:Every time Obama takes a golf vacation Tiger Woods opts out of a tournament that was scheduled in the same time frame.Those tournaments pay millions to Woods if he wins or places.Would he forego that opportunity for free?
