Just imagine the conniption fits the media would have if George Bush had done this. For bashing the rich all the time 0bama sure loves the advantages of the rich and perks of the office. What a supreme hypocrite he is.

If the media can overlook the fact that Obama was an accessory to murder of four Americans in Benghazi, they certainly aren´t going to mention $1,000 per hour golf lessons.

I´ve seen his swing....

He can´t help him for 100,000 an hour....

I´m sure he´s getting the lessons for free. Poor guy hasn´t had a real vacation in six weeks. How does he do it.

Amen #2. You beat me to it.

Watch the corrupt media cover skinny´s butt when we go back to negative growth. The raise in gas prices, less in everyone´s paychecks, means less to spend at the movies, restaurants and the malls.
Once again its all the Republican´s fault.

I guess they don´t teach French history (as in French revolution) in Indonesian or those expensive Hawaiian schools. Or Columbia for that matter

I suppose president lessons are out of the question.

HEY! Any time Obama´s spending only $2,000/hour, it´s an IMPROVEMENT!

I´m in florida taking $100/hr golf lessons and my wife has jetted off to Aspin to spend some more tax payer money shopping. Life is good, it´s all Bush´s fault and let them eat cake. What me worry, the media will cover for me making fun of Rubio for drinking water during his speech. Everything is going according to my plan. It is my destiny.

So what if I can´t afford to take a vacation.The important thing is that Dear Leader can get some well deserved R and R ...on our dollar. I am happy to give the preezy his fair share while I go without . Mrs. Dear Leader said we will get less of the pie and like it. She was so right. Fist bumps all around.

Livin´ high while the people suffer. What else would you expect from our Emperor?

...can´t think of much better example of the self-centerness and lack of empathy for the citizens, then to have a president, be he pay $1000 an hr or gets a freebie, living the high life on our dime...

...getting to the point of wanting to pick up my baseball bat and practice a swing...

The man knows everything about everything, a waste of $1,000 per hour since no one can tell (teach) him anything.

Taxpayer funded golf lessons for King Putt, and the Misery continues.

By the way, how many of Mooch´s friends are we paying for in Aspen?

#3 Rofl!!! you beat me to it....

Where´s a bolt of lightning when you need one?

And do they really expect the taxpayers to foot the bill for this too?

If he plays golf like he shoots skeet, we may be in luck when the ball hits him in the head.

I miss Hazymac, and posts like this one really make it hurt.

Yes, 18, but you don´t need a weatherman to know how much Obama´a golf game blows.

I knew Mooch didn´t go with him but I also knew she wasn´t sitting at the WH. I wonder if he took Reggie with him. If he spent that kind of money on a management course, I wouldn´t complain but golf!! Even if this was a free trip, what about $185,000/hr for Air Force One that taxpayers get stuck with. This news story came out tonight in ourarea....http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/region_martin_county/palm_city/president-obama-visits-treasure-coast-what-would-a-weekend-trip-to-the-floridian-cost

Husband and wife and separate vacations?
Are we really supposed to believe that Ma Bell likes snow skiing that much.

I didn´t know they made skis that wide...

The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers, livin´ large.

Note to Barbara Tuchman: When stupid and selfish leaders in academia, government and media live lavishly and largely, there is no point in resistance as folly marches on. No one, no one at all, is listening to any adversary.

#23. Love it!
So sick of the 0bamas "Movin´ on Up" saga.

Exactly, #3.

After his golf teacher pays his fair taxes it will cost only about fifty dollars an hour for Obamas golf lessons.

Ever notice that these grifters always vacation in predominantly white resort areas ( Martha´s Vineyard, Hawaii, Aspen ) using predominantly white taxpayer money? I guess that blacks don´t care about the first part as long as zippy is "getting whitely" with the second part.

"getting whitey". Darned IPad.

I´m sure the Harmon School of Golf works with hacks but Butch Harmon isn´t a from-the-ground up guy. He works with top players, tweaking, not looking to make wholesale changes. Maybe a thousand bucks an hour but not many hours with people at that level.

Obama is the antithesis of everything Harmon is, I´m hoping this is a case of Butch being between a rock and a hard place. All of this said, once again our miserable, horrible, disgusting excuse for a human being president shows the world his backside.

The difference between Obama and GWB (well, one of myriad) is that GWB grew up rich, while Obama was born a po´ black child.

Regardless of how much money his grandparents had, what private schools he went to, or what many advantages he had as the grandson of his white grandparents, he presents himself as a po´ black man, down with the struggle.

And those truly born of slave ancestors actually buy into it. That he´s spending a grand per hour on golf lessons is, to all of them, just their guy gettin´ his from Da Man.

OPM -- ain´t it great.....

"What me worry"? says our relaxed and confident young President Kingfish. "A mere $1,000.00 an hour is pocket change for Uncle Sugar. You right wing squirrels just never get it. In this new Age of Aquarius money grows on trees."

Good one, #8.

Shhh! Quiet on the green while the putz putts!

Pretentious little poseur.

Nothing´s going to help Zippy´s golf game, not all the practice or all the lessons in the world. That basketball-prowess talk is pure racism, and the baseball throws prove he doesn´t have an athletic bone in his body.

Maybe when they return from their Vacations; The Marine Band, instead of "Hail to the Chief" should learn how to play " Movin´ On Up!" (Theme for The Jeffersons)

Certainly,More appropriate for a pair of slugs; who are intent on (Sticking it to The Man!) and obviously have no concerns for the Country.

#23, Great, right out of the park, or links.

If the president is not being charged for his golf lessons, are they not then a "gift in kind" as these lessons surely have value.
Hence, are these lessons not a taxable event if the president does not pay for them?

Obviously this behavior from the empty chair is just what the "citizens" want. They streamed out of the woodwork and voted for it!

I thought gifts to officials were supposed to be worth than $25. Golf lessons can hardly be considered part of official duty-dom (if BO has any concept of that), so if free, they are gifts of a personal nature. I would say the IRS would go after any private individual who received that kind of emolument. However, since the IRS (or at least the last 16,000 of them) have been bought and paid for by The Won, fat chance they will have an interest in this.

I wish he would spend a little money and take a course in remedial macroeconomics.

The fool wants to be good enough to play with Tiger... I have a feeling he has been told no to that suggestion and "damn it I will show him how I am a worthy partner on the course" all the time on the course trying to prove something..Look at the top athletes he has made sure he has been around...Tiger has been the one he would covet..

Don’t knock that $1000.00/hr. Anyone who must endure helping bath house Barry practice his swing deserves to paid that or more.

#43 - although it was well publicized that Tiger turned down invitations to play with Bill Clinton, he jumped at the chance to play with Obama. Maybe Tiger shoud change his name to Colin, after Colin Powell who exhibited similalry odd behavior. /s

BTW, Obama can get all the lessons he wants but he will never be able to play golf as well as Tiger. The best amateur player in your state wouldn´t stand a chance on the PGA Tour - those guys play a different game than us mere mortals!

He´ll still play from the red tees.

If the golf pro is Tiger Woods, Michelle better worry.

This is actually a good thing - I want the guy to take long vacations and spend time taking golf lessons - keeps him from dreaming up ways to tax the living*schlitt out of people like me.

I think the comparison to "The Jeffersons" is unfair. The Jefferson´s started with one dry cleaning store, lived in a small house (assuming as neighbors of the Bunkers they had the same type of house), and through hard work earned their own money that enabled them to "move on up".

There is no way Obama is like the Jeffersons.

But does he have to pay? This is way more than a thousand dollars worth of free publicity for this pro. That said, I think the POTUS should be spending more time on the economy than on his golf swing (but on the other hand, maybe it´s better that he doesn´t focus on the economy, given his proposed fixes).

Those families who do not have enough to eat must be thrilled.
Even muzzie moolahs and commie chinese thugs do not advertize their callousness to this extreme degree.

1000 for VD dinner at exclusive DC restaurant with his Beard.
1000 for goldfish lessons.
Marie Antoinette was set up on a fake jewel scam.
These two don´t need to be set up -just honest reporting.

No, #28, I don´t think most blacks (or even most whites) know the kind of elitest behavior the Obamas engage in. If they happen to hear about any of it, they either think that all Presidents do that stuff or they think it is just lies from his detractors. I don´t think they really know what is happening. Most people don´t even know who the Vice President is!!!

It isn´t just the price of gas that has more than doubled. The price of everything, especially food, has doubled. Who can afford $6 for a gallon of milk?? Or $3.70/lb. for TOMATOES??? That is what we used to pay for steak!!

Aha! Now I get it. He wants to beat Boehner at golf.

If he had a fiddle, he´s be taking lessons from Itzhak Perlman. The narcissism is staggering.

Will he hire a skeet shooting coach soon, too?

He is such an ass.

Oh the life of Riley...I mean an elitist!

No matter how circuitous the route, no matter how deviously he received the money, any money Obamao uses to overpay the whorelike golfer, Butch Harmon, is dirty money, is theft, is stolen, one devious way or the other, from all of us taxpayers. The Harmons will walk in shame and they should hang their heads low, taking money from the impersonator in chief in a grandstand and totally tasteless Nero-like move.

Why take lessons when you don´t even keep score. Boehner was sworn to secrecy and Biden wouldn´t squeal on his lord and master.

Obama must be planning to be in a pro-am event soon. Pity the poor people who have to play in his foursome. He probably wants to be on a team with Phil Mickelson.

#8, That´s FUNNY!!!

What does he wear when he golfs? those girly jeans? most importantly, what happens in the locker rooms after?

I hope Lucifer´s son improves his golf game. I am glad that Lucifer´s son is so lazy. While he wastes his time on golf, that is less time he has to enact his agenda. We all need to pray for the end of this EVIL regime. The economy will not improve with this Lucifer charlatan at the helm.
