Even the MSM knows Obama is a goof off fraud

Read Dana Milbank of the Washington Post:

An excerpt:

According to Mark Knoller of CBS News, Obama has left the White House to play basketball 16 times so far, in addition to the countless times he has played on his home court. He's shot 44 rounds of golf, gone fishing and played tennis. Total sporting-related events hosted at the White House: 45. That's about six times the number of news conferences he has held.

Obama's foes have mocked him for playing golf more often than his sports-mad predecessor, who played only 24 rounds during his entire eight-year presidency. "Obama skips Polish funeral, heads to golf course," was one Washington Times headline. Liberals who once mocked George W. Bush's "watch this drive" moment on the golf course now speak of the need for Obama to clear his head.

Whatever the merits of head clearing, (or in Bush's case, brush clearing) Obama's bachelor-birthday weekend at the White House set some sort of standard for presidential game-playing: the golf at Andrews Air Force Base with his buddies, then basketball Sunday with pros (and former pros) such as Grant Hill and Bill Russell (and Kobe Bryant watching from the sidelines) and finally, first thing Monday morning, the adoration of the Saints.
