An Apt Comparison But…
Some Americans have made a number of disparaging comments about how President Obama has been and still is spending an inordinate amount of time golfing as opposed to dealing with any of critical matters of state that currently piling up and awaiting some form of response from him.
Some now equate Obama and his golfing habit with Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
While this is arguably an apt comparison between the two men, I think it’s foolish to publicly make such a comparison between Obama and Nero.
Do you really think it would be better if he did his job? At least on the golf course the amount of harm he can cause is somewhat limited!

So witty! So true!

Thanks.
While delivered this in good, if snarky, humor, it’s a true distillation of how I feel. Obama serves the country best by staying away from decision making since almost all of his decisions have been bad ones and many had to be reversed later.

This bullshit has NOT aged well. You might want to update it with an image of golfing Trump.

The facts speak otherwise, Chuck.
When the GDOTR comes, I hope you found a good hiding place.

No, Chuck has it right, and the FACTS are on his side. Look who's hiding now, not been seen since his twitter account has been canceled.
