Congratulations to Obama For Another Historic Record: 97 Rounds of Golf In Less Than 3 1/2 Years

Loading

Let’s assume, optimistically, that each round of golf takes a total of only four hours including transportation to and from the course. This means the president has spent more than 48 work days on the links. That’s nearly seven weeks of 8-hour days!

Best of all, his latest round was with a lobbyist.

…Well, a lobbyist by trade, anyway.

Hunter Biden, who is golfing today with President Obama and his dad, Vice President Biden, stopped lobbying in 2008 once it became clear this would become a problem for the Democratic ticket, which had a zero-lobbyist policy.

Would you rather have a non athlete like Nixon at the helm?
