Obama Praised for Golf, Bush Demonized

POTUS Golf Comparison Chart ThumbBarack Obama has already matched George W. Bush’s 24 rounds on the golf course in 10 short months what took Bush 34 months.  Eventually, Bush quite all together because of media criticism.

As USA Today points out:

The Oval’s good friend Mark Knoller of CBS News reports that Obama on Sunday played his 24th round of golf since his inauguration Jan. 20 — matching Bush’s presidential total, which he racked up in two years and 10 months. …President Bush played his last round in 2003, telling reporters he didn’t think it was appropriate to play the game with the  U.S. at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Previously, Bush’s mixing of golf and foreign policy had gotten him into trouble.

Despite two war locations, a massive recession, 10 percent unemployment, and a runaway spending, Obama’s golf game is not criticized by the media.  However, when Bush played golf he was demonized.  Can somebody say “double standard” out there?

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
