Best of all, his latest round was with a lobbyist.
...Well, a lobbyist by trade, anyway.
Hunter Biden, who is golfing today with President Obama and his dad, Vice President Biden, stopped lobbying in 2008 once it became clear this would become a problem for the Democratic ticket, which had a zero-lobbyist policy.
The young Biden, according to Politico, had ”an office near K Street, a blue-ribbon roster of clients, and his firm, Oldaker Biden & Belair, made $1.76 million in lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006.”
And then he “got clean,” as they say of Democrats who stopped lobbying for the sake of The One. I’m sure Hunter will never touch the stuff again.
Also on hand today is White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, a regular Obama golf companion...
The Official Obama Golf Counter helps all Americans keep track of the President's tireless work on the links. Remember: he's doing it for the children.

Given the responsibilities of the job, as well as the stress, I don't really have an issue with the President playing golf. Although, he does seem to do it way too much.
And besides, the more time he spends on the fairway, the less time he spends destroying the country.
Since he's now 'officially at war with the Church' no more need to go to Church he can as well go golfing i guess?
But does he golf any better than he governs ?
Eisnehauer was criticized for golfing too much too.
But he was a Republican so that was vaild.
Any idea how the relative golfing records stand?
Woodrow Wilson is the undisputed king of the presidential links with nearly 1600 rounds of golf a in 8 years as president. Eisenhower comes in with 800. That is according to Don Van Atta in his book Guest Off The Tee .
