Obama to golf on Father's Day on plush greens in a desert during a drought...
Conservation is for the little people...
PALM SPRINGS, CALIF. —One question for President Obama as he heads for Palm Springs, Calif. this weekend: whether it's appropriate to play on plush green golf links in the desert amid a severe drought.
"This administration's commitment to helping those affected by the drought is second to none," said White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz Thursday in answer to a reporter's question on that topic before the president headed to the West Coast.
"I know that many courses have taken water mitigation steps aimed at water conservation," Schultz said.

Army couple forced to change wedding plans with 24 hours notice so Obama could play golf...
Barack Obama has done a lot of shameful things, but this is certainly one of the worst. Obama is a narcissist who cares only about himself. Earlier, Obama had a beach closed so he could use it privately.

Via The Hill:
Edward Mallue Jr. and Natalie Heimel had planned to tie the knot on the 16th tee at Kaneohe Klipper golf course when management informed them that they would have to wait a day so the president could hit the links.This was a double win for Obama. He got to play golf and stick his thumb in the military's eye at the same time.
Kaneohe Klipper is an 18-hole championship course on the military base that offers views of the Ko’olau Mountains and Pacific coastline.
The episode is the second time the president’s golf game has caused a commotion since he began his vacation last week.
Over the weekend, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak had to defend his recent golf outing with the president after being criticized back home.

Obama blows off aunt's funeral; plays golf...
Priorities...
The New York Times reports:
After Zeituni Onyango, the woman President Obama once called Auntie, died in a South Boston nursing home this month, her closest relatives gathered her belongings at her nearby apartment. There, framed photographs of her with the president covered the wall.Weeping before a polished wood coffin at her wake this past Saturday, they described Ms. Onyango, the half sister of the president’s father, as “the spirit of the Obama family” and talked about raising money to send her body back to Kenya. Mr. Obama helped pay funeral expenses and sent a condolence note, Ms. Onyango’s family members said, but the president did not attend, as he was golfing.

Obama skipped 'Nutroots Nation' gathering to go play golf...
They booed Nancy Pelosi. Obama was to lazy or chickensh*t to show up.
Via Red Alert Politics:
Via Red Alert Politics:
President Barack Obama skipped the largest annual gathering of progressives again this year, as he spent his weekend keeping an important engagement — with the golf course.
The POTUS once again recorded a video greeting to be played at Netroots Nation on Thursday night. And while he had other events on Thursday and Friday, the President’s schedule on Saturday only included a trip to the links, per the White House press pool. It’s clear that Obama wasn’t exactly making it a high priority to keep his progressive base happy.
But since the President’s video appearance at the keynote on Thursday was met with some boos, it’s no surprise that he made other weekend arrangements.

Desperate Obama tries golfing with Republicans...
Bonus story: Obama lost...
Via Politico:
Via Politico:
White House press secretary Jay Carney says there is no specific agenda for President Obama’s golf game with GOP senators Monday, hinting that the president is simply continuing his gambit to find members of the “common sense” caucus who are willing to work with him on any part of his agenda.
“He’s willing to try anything,” Carney said Monday while Obama was hitting the links with GOP Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Bob Corker. “And whether it’s a conversation on the phone or a meeting in the Oval Office or dinner in a restaurant or dinner in the residence, he’s going to have the same kinds of conversations.”
Carney said the president has been speaking with Republicans lawmakers at least weekly about a range of topics, including gun control, immigration reform and reaching a fiscal deal that includes both spending cuts and revenue.

Golfer-in-Chief: Obama plays 114th round of golf...
Obama and some of his 1% buddies are living it up in Palm Beach. As for the rest of America, not so much...
PALM CITY, Fla. — President Obama got some tips Saturday from Tiger Woods’s former swing coach during the first day of a guys’ weekend golf outing here on Florida’s Atlantic coast, which included three men who have contributed to his past political campaigns.
Also in the Saturday group was Milton Carroll, another Houston businessman who is chairman of CenterPoint Energy, a public-utility holding company. Carroll, too, has given to Obama’s presidential campaigns, though not on the same scale.
Rounding out the group were Eric Whitaker, a Chicago doctor who is one of Obama’s oldest and closest friends, and departing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Butch Harmon, Woods’s swing coach for more than a decade during some of his early glory years, joined the group for several holes and provided tips – not that it was clear any of them needed it. Woods and Harmon parted ways in 2004 on not the best of terms.
