Trying to keep up with World Events, President Obama shot 115 on the links at Andrews Air Force base,barely keeping ahead of the body count in Mexico, Chicago, Indiana, Philadelphia but a tad behind Caracas.
With the slaughter of 18 at a birthday party in Mexico near the Arizona border, the violent death toll in Mexico for the past 3 years is above 24,000.
Meanwhile, Mexican President Felipe Calderon continues to blame Arizona for trying to enforce Federal Law and keep crime from further escalation in the embattled state.
A recent celebration in Obama's home city, Chicago, accounted for 54 shooting incidents over a 3 day weekend, and at a joyous 'Black Expo" in Indianapolis, only 10 people were shot after an argument broke out when a fast food restaurant ran out of Chicken McNuggets.
Meanwhile in Oakland, no human deaths were reported during a high spirited celebration after a Police Officer was convicted of Man Slaughter after a suspected law breaker was shot while in custody, but a popular shoe store noted for its athlete sponsored sneakers was looted and the small business owner claimed 'the business is dead....they didn't even leave me anything to start over!" The closing leaves 6 more unemployed.
Since claiming the Presidency and proclaiming that 'business as usual' was over, Obama has carded 39 public rounds of golf taking at least 4,485 shots,
not including practice on the range , gimmee putts, and 'do overs.'
Former President George Bush, who was a good golfer, in the last 2 years and 10 months of his Presidency carded 24 rounds in deference to declining world affairs and ongoing fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, putting Obama on a pace to play more rounds in the first four years of his presidency than John Daly.
Obama, said to be a 35 handicapper, has vowed to bring that down to single digits before he leaves the White House and moves on to international politics either for the European Union or in Dubai with the UAE joining former President Bill Clinton.
Said one former professional golfer, now a prominent sports announcer and keen observer of politics, "Barry is bringing his handicap down, but as far as the US goes, we haven't made the cut in the last 4 international disasters....right now, our biggest handicap is Barack Obama...he's killing us with all his hacking around!"
