Mitt Romney is turning President Obama’s golf game against him, using Obama’s frequent trips to the golf course to raise money.
A Romney campaign website, fortyfore.com, allows people to donate $18 to Romney “to send President Obama on a permanent vacation.” The website notes that Obama has played 1,584 holes since 2009 and says:
By donating $18, you can help us put President Obama on a permanent vacation. We cannot afford another round of President Obama’s failed leadership
It’s time to have a president whose idea of being “hands on” doesn’t mean getting a better grip on the golf club
The site dovetails with Romney’s campaign theme that “Obama isn’t working” and suggests Romney intends to make Obama’s golf and lavish vacations an issue in the campaign.
H/T to Rush LImbaugh’s Stack of Stuff, where I saw this.

Breaking News: Obama Won’t Go to Hawaii after-all, or so he says today. Let’s see how this plays out after Michelle reads this press release:

For rill? Well, Romney did say last nite that if he were president he planned to work a full day–and let the dog sleep inside (I added that last, but he did say he’d work all day).
- and let the dog sleep inside
A note from someone’s attorney: This is not a real quote LOL
The pooch’s atty. You’ve heard of pre-nups–this is a pre-elect.
The article quotes Obama telling Harry Reid “Michelle and the girls are going to have a great time in Hawaii, they don’t need me there.” Never fear, Moochelle will get her vacation. Obama is probably just as happy…he can eat whatever he wants and hang out with his Hollywood buddies.
Yeah, two jets, five jets, ten jets, who gives a F***.
I am the POTUS. !!!!
Separate jets, helicopters, buses, limos, yeah, tell Moochie, go girl and take your stand, make sure you get us a good room.
Hey Michelle, make sure I have a reservation at the resort, thanks babe.
I’ll be back here doing whatever the hell I have to do to coerce congress to adhere to my socialistic policies.
Be there soon, Barry.
You read my mind, Susan. That will be tomorrow.
Great. Now the taxpapers will be paying for two separate flights that cost how much?
Chances are they will make a deal but I knew when I saw 17 days vacay that he would be doing this.
Yep he did that before no? Took a later flight to hawaii.
How much do you want to bet ‘pass this NOW’ will start coming out like crazy.
ps I still don’t like romney, nice try tho
I am not necessarily for Romney–just anybody but. It could be a nose wrinkler or a nose holder, I don’t care.
And watch – they’ll stay longer so she gets her full 17 days.
What a sacrifice! He’ll stay around and do what? Meet with congressmen? Probably not. Play some more golf while he waits for congress to work? Probably. I’m sorry he’ll only get maybe 10 days of vacation. Poor thing. Ugh. I don’t care who gets the Republican nomination, at this point I’d vote for anyone over O.
Ouch! Seems MrRomney hit a sore spot .
oh yeah
Close as I get to Hawaii is pineapple juice on sale at Walmart.
I don’t care for Romney, but it’s anybody but the current occupant of the WH.
