As the House moved Saturday toward passing legislation that will likely result in a government shutdown, President Obama excused himself to play his customary Saturday golf, a round that set a record for most golf outings in a year since he became president.
It is perhaps emblematic of his declining influence on Capitol Hill that Obama chose not to work to affect the outcome of one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in years and instead engaged in his favorite recreational activity.

Though the first year of a president’s second term is the most crucial for getting things done before lame duck status starts to set in, Obama as of Saturday has played golf golf 35 times in 2013, eclipsing the previous mark of 34 he set in 2011. And there’s still plenty of golf weather left in Washington. Meanwhile, he may well hit the links several times more once he gets to Hawaii for the Christmas holiday.Read the full story HERE. Also, there is a website that has dedicated itself to keeping track of Obama's Golf outings.

You can't say that Obama doesn't have priorities...it's just that they're not the same as ours...the best interests of the country and it's citizens.
If the media actually did their job, we wouldn't be stuck with the worst president ever. We are in deep trouble until the press decides to actually be the press. There isn't anything he can do that will get a rise out of them. Not even spying on them, and charging a fellow journalist with crimes.

Indeed, he'd better ease back, as hes on track to out vacation W and Regan.
