@real plastic trees - it's my understanding the south garden has been turned into an organic vegetable garden which will grow food for the white house and also some locals.

I consider my country the "Make hay while the sun shines" example, but this shot just doesn't depict that belief.

I have, and would love to continue, believing in the Obama change we can all believe in, but between this shot and his Jay Leno appearance, I don't see my President understanding the conditions me and mine deal with here in America every day.

Not a sermon. Just a thought.

@Martin Look at i that way: If Golf would be #1 priority for a president, then, at least, he has no time to start a war. Not necessarily the worst thing on earth, is it?

@_mokai_ For a Leftie, putting left hand down is the normal thing to do, same as right hand down for a right handed player.

gregpaulhus says:

To all those people saying 'Get back to work!', you obviously aren't aware that humans actually work more effectively if they take short breaks throughout the day. You'll get more done in a day by taking a few short breaks than trying to work straight through. The brain is also more able to think creatively when you take short breaks like this throughout your work day.

@ sonofdy,

I would suggest that instead of you posting childish comments on Flickr...you go have a meeting with the rest of the lunatic fringe group that is now the Republican party to actually come up with some ideas that aren't scaring people into switching parties.

You lost the election...get over it already. The people have spoken.
You have an opportunity to put an Archie Bunker or Barney Fife back into the White House in 2012. Good luck with that. ;)

No. I will continue to expose your fraud of a president. BTW the new budget removes obamas 13 dollar a week tax cut.

stingray9813 says:

@sonofdy,

ah okay, good luck with that. He has high approval ratings and you have? ...no ideas, no plans and a party that is on the verge of no longer being a national party. (21% is very sad)

btw, I will happily give up the 13 dollar a week tax cut...as long as I know an intelligent, competent President is at the helm. ;)

let me know when you find one because so far this one has done nothing but mess up. Funny how you assume I am a republican.

Oh and the rest of your taxes are going up as well. The bush tax cuts expire soon and have NOT been renewed. That means everyones taxes go up. And where do you think obama the idiot will get 1.3 trillion this year alone to fund his deficts???

SUCKER!!!

@sonofdy,

I'm not rich, so the Bush tax cuts didn't make my life sweet. If my taxes go up a little...I'll suck it up and know that its because a certain administration made a big fat mess that can't be cleaned up for free.

I assume you're a conservative republican because:

1-You using their talking points. No intelligent debate or thoughts...just attack anything and everything.

2-You came from a site called michellemalkin.com(theme is: bash Obama & bash Mexicans) and everyone knows what kind of a site that is. The blogger herself linked this Flickr and encouraged people to say nasty things about the President.

I can't be a sucker if I willingly chose change.
Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

sonofdy says:

@stingray,
1/ What you mean the way that Bush was attacked in the last 8 years? You mean that was a bad thing?
2/ If you actualy bothered to READ Michelle Malkin you would see she is just as hard on the GOP as the DNC. You can read right? Or did you just get YOUR talking points from moveon.org/huffpo/dailykos???

You want a plan? How about NOT spending America into bankruptcy in the next 10 years. Oh and dispite what your leftist masters told you, the bush tax cuts effected EVERYONE.

So obama will be rasing taxes on everyone. Look it up.

So you choose change, change to WHAT???

This president is a facist by the dictionary term. He is nationalising industry left and right.

Caeser fiddles while Rome burns. Funny how Obama was preaching doing homework this a.m., and yet he clearly has not.

@stingray, you confuse your own side with the opposition. You also are using ad hominem attacks, which means you have no arguments, only hatred.

> 2-You came from a site called michellemalkin.com(theme is: bash
> Obama & bash Mexicans) and everyone knows what kind of a site
> that is.

this is how the Nazi's responded to their opponants, also. Guilt by association with people/groups/orgs the Nazi's claimed were evil (using made up "wrongs," that were always lies.)

Democrats voted for the "Bush Tax cuts," and they affected EVERYONE, not just the "rich." The last time we raised taxes "on the rich," it wiped out the Yacht building industry, and several towns. Put your hate away, and stop the class warfare.

How ironic that you trumpet your "ability" to change (you claim this makes you "sucker free"), and yet you are now stuck with your "change" that is failing, and now you won't change. So what does that make you? Mindless, or a sucker?

@sonofdy,

You do realize that you're in the minority right? The last time I checked...there was an election and the people chose. I knew what I was getting when I voted and I have no complaints so far.

Go back to your blog and photoshop racist images of the President and his wife...and stop being childish on here. I'm ashamed I got caught up in responding to your nasty comments here.

striatic says:

it's interesting that the obama whitehouse would release an image like this.

the politics of presidential golf have always been interesting.

woodrow wilson gave up golf for a short period during world war I, for public relations reasons, but took it back up based on doctor's advice. there wasn't any political fall-out to speak of.

people liked to poke fun at dwight eisenhower for the amount of time he spent playing, although he presided over a fairly prosperous economy and the korean war ended earlier in his presidency so this was more teasing than condemnation.

bill clinton was and is also an avid golfer, and like eisenhower presided over a relatively peaceful, prosperous time. more teasing than condemnation.

the second president bush was also an avid golfer, but largely stopped playing golf in the wake of the iraq war because it might look bad. bush said "playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal". of course this was after his infamous "now watch this drive" moment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3p9y_OEAdc

maybe obama is trying to signal a more relaxed posture or maybe he just hasn't had a ridiculous "now watch this drive" moment to recoil from, but it is interesting how symbolic golf is, politically speaking. i mean that i'm sure george w bush's mountain biking consumed as much time as obama's golf will, and at least while playing golf you can discuss things with the people you're playing with and maybe get a little bit of policy discussion in as well. that said, golf represents a particular lifestyle and detachment from nature, as well as representing a kind of leisure that mountain biking does not.

when you think about it for two seconds, there's very little difference between a president playing golf and a president wheeling around on an over-priced mountain bike.

when you only think about it for one second though, golf "feels" way worse, which is why i'm surprised obama is being so public about it.

much of this comment takes information from the following radio interview about golf and the presidency: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId =90534281
