[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama has golfing more than 60 times as president. Let me try to put this in some context for you. At an average of five hours per trip to the links, Obama has spent the[b] equivalent of two months of his presidency's available working time on the golf course[/b]. Of course, that doesn't even count the hours traveling in presidential motorcades to and from the courses. It also doesn't count any time he spends on the White House putting green. Obama doesn't typically golf with top advisors so these are "working" outings. [/quote]

Asinine analysis and atrocious math.

Setting aside the most obvious objection to your very premise -- that he's not entitled to some recreational time, even on weekends and vacations- 60 times five hours is 300 hours.

There are 1,440 hours in 2 months. Even if you allow 8 hours per night for sleep, that's still 1,080 hours in two months. I, personally, define the president's "available working time" to be "every waking hour." But anyway you compute it, it doesn't even add up to "two months of his presidency on the golf course" which is how you're trying to make it seem.

So, first, liar liar, pants on fire. And second, still, SO FUCKING WHAT? He can't golf on Sunday afternoon because that's his "available working time?" What on Earth?
