President Obama is SCREWN...
Obama finds defender in Dan Quayle
By: CNN Political Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) - When President Obama headed to the golf course last weekend – the 61st time he has done so since becoming president - critics pounced, saying it was inappropriate for the commander-in-chief to indulge himself when several crises abroad demanded his attention.

But at least one Republican is coming to the president's defense: former Vice President Dan Quayle.

Speaking on Fox Business Network Wednesday, Quayle – a fellow golfer – says there's no reason why Obama can't play golf and run the country at the same time.

"I'm glad he's out playing golf. I happen to be a golfer. I think presidents deserve down time. And believe me, he is in constant communication with what's going on," said Quayle. "I mean, what do you want him to do, stay in his house and be on the phone with the ambassador to Japan all the time?"

Well, Quayle does have a point.

7. Nope....
At DU the Clenis has been replaced by Obama.....not congress' fault, but Obama's fault because we all know he is king and the constitution has been suspended and he does not need to work with congress....he can do whatever the hell he wants to whenever he wants too....

3. This is a dumb thing to be upset about.
There are other reasons to be upset with the President and this isn't one at all.

6. I agree....
I am upset that Obama insists on following the constitution of the USA and goes out of his way to work with congress to get approval for his legislation.....he is a king and does not need anyones approval for anything....everything is his fault, not congress because congress is irrelevant according to the constitution. DUers are right about this.....:-(

10. Actually President Obama is NOT playing enough golf.
Okay, he has played golf 61 times since January 2009.
There have been around 110 weekends since Obama took office.
If he were to have ONE day off each week, let's say Saturday, and if he played golf every Saturday, then that means he should have played 110 times and not 61 times.
Obama is way behind in his golfing by 49 games ;)

Presnit Boosh gave up golf as his way of acknowledging the sacrifices of our boys that died defending our borders in Iraq.
