President Obama got in yet another round of golf Sunday, his fifth since landing in Hawaii nine days ago.
This time he played with his core group of friends – Hawaiians Bobby Titcomb and Mike Ramos and Chicagoans Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt. The latter two seem to plan their own vacations around Obama.
Also on hand for the round, played at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay, was White House trip director and Obama golf buddy Marvin Nicholson.
This is Obama’s 45th outing of the year and the 156th since Inauguration Day 2009.

These vacays are like a tacky version of ENTOURAGE.
And we the taxpayers pick up the tab.
Birds of a feather….jail birds.
I thought Whitaker was under investigation. I wonder where that stands.
EricHolder is looking into that, personally. /sarc/
I see no difference between what Obama does while on vacation and what he does while not on vacation.

just nothing but the best .. the WH and DC are so drab and boring over the holidays.
Let’s be fair; if we were friends with any Preezy or the First Family and we were invited to spend the holidays with them, who could refuse?
Sometime ago, his closest advisor ValJar told us that MrO is easily bored and she knows him well. If that’s true, then he must find golfing to be very exciting or engaging. How, isn’t clear to anyone else, but..there it is.
I think golf and bowling both seem “doable”–with a little more effort, a little more luck–of course, experts know they both take skill and practice–that the on “any given Sunday” idea is sort of a myth. But people keep chasing it–playing against themselves.
We should all be afraid, very afraid:
Obama on Syria: Being President is Boring and Hard
Snipped:
“Even as the debate about arming the rebels took on a new urgency, Mr. Obama rarely voiced strong opinions during senior staff meetings. But current and former officials said his body language was telling: he often appeared impatient or disengaged while listening to the debate, sometimes scrolling through messages on his BlackBerry or slouching and chewing gum.”

How does it really work with the golfing entourage? I can’t imagine the wives and children of Obama’s golf buddy group want to pack up and schlep to Hawaii and give up family traditions from their homes so that their husbands can play golf with the president? I sure wouldn’t. And do we pay for the house rentals of the golf buddies? I’d like some spreadsheet accounting please. Or as Obama calls it, transparency. Right.
Happy New Year to all!
I tried to throw in the towel but here I go again:

Hey! Missed you, welcome back.
Me, too. I’ve been wondering for weeks now where you were off to, Granny Jan.
I’ve been in mourning since Jihad Kitty went to the happy hunting grounds but for two oldies my husband and I are doing well.
GJ – so happy you are back, but so sorry to hear about Jihad Kitty. I hope you visited the Rainbow Bridge, Boo Kitty will be 15 next year: I treasure the time we have remaining. Welcome back! I missed you.!
Thanks! In retrospect I should have written that Jihad Kitty got its 72 virgins.
There has been written that we will see the pets that we loved in Heaven.
My wife and I have loved and lost several cats through the years, We know what your are going through.
Give them love, and they love you right back.
We have a rescue cat that is now three years old and he is a great companion.
Another masterpiece, Granny Jan! It is good to see you back in the saddle again. Sympathies on the passing of Jihad Kitty, but good to hear you and your husband are doing well.
Wecome back, GJ! So sad to hear about Jihad Kitty. Her spirit will always be with us.
Thanks for Macho Man – a welcome New Year’s gift!
Thanks Susan and Girly1. I’m so glad you liked it.
So nice to have you back. Condolences on the loss of the kitty. But good on the kitty for the 72 virgins.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Such a beautiful place, Hawaii. Yet every vacation the same. Golf, morning workouts (with massive motorcade), golf, outing with family, golf, visit with marines, golf, shave ice, golf, zoo, golf, dinner out, golf, golf, golf.

Nice map of “things I did on my Winter Vacations” by BO.
Personally, I applaud the President’s persistence in playing golf, as it is perhaps the only matter capable of holding his attention for any significant space of time in the last five years!
And he probably is still at or under par as often as he got the ball into the basket on Easter.
