With the first lady still on travel, President Obama today went golfing for the second time this weekend, an outing that also puts him at the three quarter century mark for total trips to the golf course as president.
Obama’s 75 times golfing since Inauguration Day includes 17 outings just this year. He made it thirteen weekends in a row Saturday with a trip out to the Andrews Air Force Base course.
The president today is at the Fort Belvoir couse, taking along a couple of his usual crew of younger staffers but also White House Chief of Staff William Daley.
Mrs. Obama is headed home today from a weeklong trip to southern Africa – but not in time to keep her husband off the golf course.
Also golfing today is White House trip director Marvin Nicholson and former Obama campaign photographer David Katz.
Obama last weekend golfed with Vice President Biden, House Speaker John Boehner, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R).

This post is awesome, along with the comments! WHD rocks
Thanks Tim!
Can someone tell me why there is a *fucking* golfcourse on Andrews Air Force Base? Are the taxpayers funding golf courses for the semi-rich, upper-crust, perfumed princes of the military? When did field grade officers in the U.S. military begin acting like rich, elite, Democrat and Republican lawmakers?
The comments here all seemed to have the same underlying theme; frustration with our President who doesn’t seem to understand what’s really going on in our country. It’s not that he’s golfing, who would deny a man a small pleasure on his day off. It’s a tough job, we know that.
It’s that he’s not addressing our concerns, doesn’t seem to be paying attention to the misery that’s spread all over the country.
To think that this president does nothing but throw parties-Travel and play golf.this guy is lazy and useless he has broken more laws than any other president he needs to be impeached. please get this slug out in 2012 we will vote him out
You know, playing a couple of rounds of golf over a three period on average doesn’t seem excessive to me. The guy shouldn’t relax with his friends once in a while. Geez.
