    Obama immediately played golf after learning about the first American beheading at the hands of ISIS. Now that is out of touch.

    That wasn't the only time you posted about his golf playing. Trump played golf immediately after learning about
    (supposed) Watergate level corruption and lawbreaking by a President of the United States.

    He will ignore this, of course, and say something like "Typical libs detract from..."

    Again, because certain posters refuse to admit when they were wrong (whereas some of us do), here's what he should say:

    BigTexxx: "Yes, I was wrong on that. President Trump is golfing even more than President Obama at this point. I was incorrect, and I apologize."

    Considering he won't say that, the only right thing to do is to speak for him.

    ...and then the next 50 years were a glorious time of geopolitical peace and harmony. Of course, ISIS is not Nazi Germany and Putin is not Stalin, but other than that it's a great comparison.

    Obama is absolutely terrible at golf despite repeatedly shirking his duties as President to play. Trump shoots in the 70's and is the best golfer to ever serve as President. Can you imagine playing behind Obama's foursome while he looks OB for his shanked balls in his mom jeans? I'm so thankful he is no longer embarrassing our great nation on the golf course.

    GOOD DAY

    Of course it is fair game, but can you explain your thread title? You are presenting this as fact.

    BigTexxx: "Yet, I was guilty of the same thing CNN, Fox News, etc. does - puts out a misleading headline like "Obama Bugged Trump Tower Before Election" instead of "Trump Accuses Obama of Bugging Trump Tower..." I apologize for that as well.

    Very weak "comeback". Two of Obama's lowest points in his presidency were 1) When he immediately played golf after the first American ISIS beheading and 2) When he made fun of Special Olympians on nationally televised tv.

    [Deluxe Combo Meal Post]:

    Another deflection.

    Pointless post.

    He is far from the best golfer among all time world leaders:

    Not weak at all. He's exactly right. You have made it a point of criticizing Obama for playing golf during what you perceive to be a national emergency, among other times, and then say nothing whatsoever when Trump does the same. Maybe, instead of complaining as you did about partisanship, you shouldn't be contributing to it so blatantly.

    If this claim is false, POTUS needs to be held accountable for his statements. From millions of voter fraud to Sweden to his landslide win to fake news to something as small as it not raining at inauguration, he's been full of it since the beginning. We can't have a President persistently making false statements only further polarizing the citizens. Regardless of your political views and opinions on his policies, he's not who needs to be in office. Put him back on reality TV where he belongs.

    BigTexxx's Obama Golf Comments: A Sample:

    This clown has been out playing golf while the unemployment rate soars, Europe implodes and the US is about to hit a fiscal cliff.

    Obama forced this wedding to be moved on a day's notice so he could play golf. What a selfish ass.

    it's because he's chilling with the family instead of meeting with lawmakers. Oh ok. That and 100+ (literally) rounds of golf. We need a leader who's willing to actually roll up his sleeves and work to get something done. Not the selfish guy who chooses to play golf and chill with the family.

    Leadership. Wonder where the president was over the weekend as the government neared shutdown? playing golf, of course.

    Bush stopped playing golf while in office out of respect for the troops. Obama laughs and keeps teeing off...

    What what Mr Castro failed to realize is that Obama was very very busy that week leading up to the deadline. He was playing golf with Tiger Woods and other 1 percenters including Jim Crane.

    unemployment is a national disgrace. The economy is slowing. Glad that Oblamer can muster the energy to convene some meetings on jobs, finally. How many golf games has he played since January?

    Rudan's joke was that he plays golf half the time, which isn't racist.

    Apologies, but this post needs to be in the appropriate font size:

    If this claim is false, POTUS needs to be held accountable for his statements. From millions of voter fraud to Sweden to his landslide win to fake news to something as small as it is not raining at inauguration, he's been full of it since the beginning.

    If trump woke up today and decided to make this up then he should be held accountable but if he has insider info and the accusation is credible then Obama should be held accountable.

    Then those who feel that way would still feel that way just like those who felt that way about Obama always did. This is the result of the divided country we live in today....at some point we'll have to elect a competent president to help bring things back together....but we've had quite the string of losers.

    If it's right, the President should have presented it with a factual basis to support it rather than continuing to just tweet stuff out.
