I voted for Obama and I thought calling him Golfer-in-Chief was pretty funny (mostly because I don’t see ordinary working folks ever go “golf” for a sport and it also seems pretty disconnected from the forgotten man).
I wonder why we don’t think it’s funny now, you know, just for continuity.
They’re being ginned up to forget their problems by being afraid of Scary Brown People, hate states that have recently changed their abortion laws, and wait with baited breath the latest reveal of Deep State Corruption.
Well of course you need the boogeyman, but also I’ve wondered why Obama was considered elitist but Trump isn’t. This thread is a pretty good example of that.
If Obama was elitist and out-of-touch because he golfed, then Trump doing it doesn’t excuse it because Obama did it—it should just mean that there are now two consequent Presidents who are out of touch. But doesn’t seem to work that way, does it? This is basic Socrates logic (“All men are mortal…”).
And don’t get me started on Teleprompter-in-Chief… that’s cool now.
Ah, the old complaint about Obama warmed over for Trump. Wonder when the last time was that the opposition didn’t object to Presidents taking vacations.
Obviously, whether he golfs has nothing to do with whether we desperately need a border barrier constructed or not.
I don’t do questions on demand. Do you have some reason to believe he should not be on vacation at the taxpayer expense, as every other President in my lifetime has been?
And I’ll answer your question. I don’t have a problem with a president taking vacations generally. But I absolutely think it’s wrong for a president to declare a national emergency, then jet set away for a weekend of golf the same day.
