RNC: Obama Terrible Golfer, President

Obama Has Played 186 Rounds of Golf in Office

Over the course of Obama's 20 vacations in office, he has now played 186 rounds of golf, often in luxurious locations while staying on 17-room properties.

According to CBS News Correspondent Mark Knoller's tally, George W. Bush played only 24 rounds of golf during his entire presidency.

Critiques of Obama's golfing have mounted recently as crises around the world call for the president's attention. Even liberal columnist Dana Milbank remarked sarcastically on Wednesday, "If he could be as stubborn as he is about continuing his golf game about some of his domestic policies, I think we might get some results."

But despite the many critics of Obama's golf habit, ABC’s Jon Karl reported that the White House is "entirely unconcerned" by these optics.
