Obama Has Played More Golf Than Bush
President Obama “has played golf 32 times since he took office, eight more than his predecessor George W. Bush — who was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game — did in his entire presidency,” the Daily Telegraph reports.
Golf magazine: “The real story, is how golf seems to be used (by both sides of the political spectrum…or at least which ever side is out of power) as a sort of symbol for elitism and how out of touch the president is with the American public. The National Golf Foundation estimates that there are about 26.2 million Americans who like to unwind with a round of golf, and I think it’s safe to assume that very few of those people have as much on their minds as the POTUS.”
Internal Probe Finds RNC Financial Controls in Disarray
“Barely 6 1/2 months before the midterm elections, an internal investigation by the Republican National Committee has revealed that the organization is beset with questionable financial management and oversight and is spending more money courting top-dollar donors than it raises,” the Washington Times reports.
“The investigation found that the Republican Party’s national governing body is losing money on its major-donors’ fundraising program — spending $1.09 for each $1.00 raised, according to RNC members privy to the investigation’s findings. It typically costs about 40 cents for every dollar raised from donors who give more than $1,000.”
