is going to be some trip. The gloves are off now. This guy is not only teflon; now he is untouchable. Executive privilege. Executive orders. Threatens Congress in his State of the Union. Two nights of all night WH parties with the stars after his coronation. Now, the day after he takes the Queen out for a $900.00 dinner for two they are off on separate vacations. He is heading to my neck of the woods in Palm City Fl. for an extended weekend of golf with Butch Harmon and others to be named later while the Queen takes off to Aspen for a long weekend. They just got back from two weeks in Hawaii one month ago. Reach for your wallets!
Obama Hits The Links For The 114th Time Since Taking Office… Hey, it’s not like we’re fighting a bloody war and the economy is still in shambles… no, wait? 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.

Today he is playing with U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk – known throughout the trade community for not having negotiated a single free trade agreement of his own during his four years in office – Obama Chicago pal Dr. Eric Whitaker, and Marvin Nicholson, the White House aide who is Obama’s most regular golf partner.
