Dayum... But I'd disagree with the last one, I really think President Eisenhower played more- He was a golf fanatic!!!

Maybe so, but during most of Eisenhower's administration we were between wars and the economy was humming along - plus he led us to victory in Europe during WW II. I'd say he earned those days of golf.

Once obama accomplishes something similar he can play golf all he wants and I won't say a word.
