Just a reminder: Obama played golf 0 times in first 90 days

Journal by DeathMonkey

Trump voters don't believe he has played more golf than Obama in first 3 months

During his first three months in office, Trump spent 19 days at a golf course and played golf on at least 13 occasions, according to The New York Times.

The Times found that Obama spent no days at a golf course during his first three months. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton also spent either no time or very little time golfing during their first 90 days — Bush made no trips to a golf course, while Clinton spent three days at courses.

A smattering of hypocritical quotes from Trump:

    That funny looking orange bastard has been playing for a long time. He actually has a handicap. No one has ever given Obama a handicap. Hell, he only learned how to hold a golf club after he was elected. Someone at the Pentagon goaded him into learning. "Mr. President, you know that every president in memory wasted half his time in office on the golf course. If you don't learn to play, they'll say that the first black president was just to stupid to learn the game." THAT is when Obama decided to learn how to golf.

    Meanwhile, golf is still a silly damned game. I spent my first summer after high school tagging after my boss and workmates on a golf course. I slowly learned how to play the game, and was starting to get good enough that they wanted to give me a handicap. But, I just couldn't see the point in it. It's sillier than getting two teams of 9 players together to toss and whack a ball around a diamond, and to occassionally run around some bases. Just silly. A guy can get more exercise, and maybe put some food on the table, if he hikes around the hills with his shotgun, or his .22 rifle. Golf might have been more fun, but they wouldn't allow me to drive my Jeep onto the course, so that my shotgun would be close at hand when we spooked something out of the roughs. Just silly.
