Obama has spent the equivalent of four months’ worth of work time golfing. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy has been stuck in a sand trap.
The Washington Times
The next time President Obama hits the links, it will be his 100th round of golf since coming to the White House.
That’s quite a milestone in just 3 1/2 years. As it takes him about six
hours to drive to the greens and complete 18 holes, Mr. Obama has spent
the equivalent of four months’ worth of work time golfing. Meanwhile,
the U.S. economy has been stuck in a sand trap.
Before Mr. Obama
teed off for the first time as president, he delivered a State of the
Union address that promised his new stimulus bill would “save or create
3.5 million jobs.” At that time, February 2009, unemployment was 8.3
percent and the debt was $10.8 trillion. He kicked off the golf streak
on April 26, 2009, and he played a total of 27 rounds in his first year.
