Barack Obama, the hardest working man in show business (just ask him), today played his eighth round of golf since the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico commenced on April 20th.The news media, with the exception of The Hill, failed to report Obama's time on the links at Andrews Air Force Base. The Hill buried the mention with one line in their story about Obama's day.
Obama was crticized last month for his administration attacking BP's CEO for attending a yacht race while at the same time Obama was playing golf yet again.
A search of Google News shows that no other news outlet mentioned Obama's eighth golfing venture in the eleven weeks since the oil disaster started. Republicans made an issue of Obama's work ethic a few weeks ago with a video that documented the time Obama has spent golfing and partying since April 20th.
The White House responded at the time by saying Obama's numerous golf outings "does us all good as American citizens." (I think they stole that line from the North Koreans.)
The White House pool is not allowed on the course at Andrews AFB to photograph Obama golfing. The most recent images of Obama on a golf course are from late April in Asheville, North Carolina--the first of two vacations Obama has taken since the oil spill.
