You managed, again, to step on your dick.

Run and hide - they proved you wrong again.

Dennis, Trying to get to what I recall is not working, so I will cut and post what I could find and eat crow on the rest...

At the segment's conclusion, co-host Norah O’Donnell compared Obama’s golfing minutes after making a statement about Foley’s murder to former President George W. Bush going golfing after speaking about a suicide bombing in Iraq. O’Donnell observed that: [MP3 audio here; See the video after the jump]

“[T]he president, Obama, took a lot of flack for playing golf immediately after talking about the death of James Foley and President Bush, George W. Bush, got in a lot of hot water when he, after denouncing a suicide bombing, then went and played golf and said, “now watch my drive” and then he didn't play golf for the rest of his presidency after that because of the optics of it."

Bush picked up mountain biking in 2004 when his knees started to go south. Prior to that, he had been an avid runner.

"I wasn't a mountain biker when we bought [the ranch]. I was a runner," Bush said at a press conference before the start of the second day of the Warrior 100K. "I know this is going to irritate some running folks, but I ran myself into premature arthritis."

Bush is also playing a lot of golf, and will often golf and bike in the same day.

There is NOBODY that you can compare Obama with when it comes to being totally helpless with dealing with trouble. His answers are always the same go golfing, go on vacation, go fundraising and make sure you hide from the press---a very usless piece of sh--!!!!!!

This has nothing to do with Obama, but golf has long been an activity that politicians and senior military officers have used to conduct casual meetings with other leaders. I imagine that CEOs and other business leaders do the same. When sharing a cart or walking together, they can discuss business, then have time to digest issues on their own when they go their separate ways to play their next shot. Then they rejoin their partner and continue their discussion.

Back when I was an admin aid to a 4-star admiral in the Pacific theater during the Reagan years, he was more or less ordered to take up golf because senior leaders from Asian countries liked to discuss business while golfing. There was always a fear (on both sides) that offices were bugged, and the open air of a golf course lessened the chances of being overheard or recorded. He had previously hated the game, but he took it up and ended up liking it. I imagine the same sort of thing goes on today.

I don't know if Obama golfs for the pure enjoyment of it, to relieve the stress of the office, or to conduct private meetings. Find out who he golfs with mostly, and you would have a better picture. Remember, Obama did not golf until he became president.

I have a number of supporters on this forum, those that consider themselves progressive. I also am supportive of those progressives in my remarks.

President Obama hardly goes it alone. The majority of American voters gave him a mandate twice and he has the full support of the Democratic majority in charge of the U.S. Senate.

On what planet is that called "going it alone"???

Mouse, I support Brian in nearly all of his postings, As he can more than hold his own against the likes of you, I seldom add anything to what he posts, but I do agree with most of his view points...
