Obama Praised for Golf, Bush Demonized

Barack 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?
