Remember when the Lefties always threw one of their hissy fits whenever Bush would go to Crawford or go golfing or something even though he had all his communications equipment with him at all times? They said it made him seem out-of-touch, uncaring.

Well, The Messiah can golf, party, travel, bow to Kings, whatever...and it's all OK. So, let's throw it right back at 'em!!! :mad:

Obama gets in a round of golf on a sunny morning

ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. – President Barack Obama took advantage of the summer weather in Washington on Sunday to play a round of golf.

Before he left for the course, Obama received an update on the swine flu virus, said White House spokesman Reid Cherlin.

Obama played for about five hours in nearly 90-degree temperatures on the rolling lawns of a course at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

He arrived at the course wearing sunglasses, a cream-colored baseball cap, a short-sleeved shirt and khaki shorts, with his Blackberry clipped to his side. He shook hands with a few other golfers and waved to other onlookers before stepping into a golf cart driven by the course's general manager, Mike Thomas.

Joining the president were Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and presidential aide Marvin Nicholson.

The Courses at Andrews Air Force Base is a popular destination for presidents because of its proximity to the White House and the security it offers on a military base. Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush have all played there.

So...what was he supposed to do after being briefed on the swine flu? He's not a scientist, he can't find a cure for it.

Perhaps Reg feels the need to compare Swine Flu to 9/11?
