You know you're losing the people when none other than Maureen Dowd of The New York Times pens a scathing piece on your failed presidency. But first, let's review the activities Obama spent time participating in over his vacation. If his first term was lots of golf, his second is totally out of control. If I didn't know better I'd think he uses golf as an escape from his duties as prez...Ya think? He's closing in on 200 rounds but it's really not the high number, it's the fact that Americans have seen no improvement in just about every area of government. It's one thing to be a golf obsessed president but entirely another to be such a failure...

THE GOLF ADDRESS - Maureen Dowd NYTs
FORE! Score? And seven trillion rounds ago, our forecaddies brought forth on this continent a new playground, conceived by Robert Trent Jones, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal when it comes to spending as much time on the links as possible — even when it seems totally inappropriate, like moments after making a solemn statement condemning the grisly murder of a 40-year-old American journalist beheaded by ISIL.
I know reporters didn’t get a chance to ask questions, but I had to bounce. I had a 1 p.m. tee time at Vineyard Golf Club with Alonzo Mourning and a part-owner of the Boston Celtics. Hillary and I agreed when we partied with Vernon Jordan up here, hanging out with celebrities and rich folks is fun.
