OBAMA SURPASSES BUSH ON THE FAIRWAY OF LIFE
Somehow, this is Bush’s Fault.
“Barack Obama has now played 25 rounds of golf … That’s more golf than former President George W. Bush played in two terms, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential trivia.”
And they don’t come any more trivial than this one.
Meanwhile, back at Caddyshack One, the Undecider is holding a state dinner for India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
In honor of the unemployed, Count Arugula will be serving:
Potato and Eggplant Salad
White House arugula with onion seed vinaigrette

Chocolate dipped fruitAfter a reception in the East Room of the White House, guests will go to a tent — a pavilion really — on the South Lawn, where they will be seated at tables of 10 for dinner. The china comes from White House and State Department collections: Eisenhower Porcelain, 1955 Clinton China, 2000 and Bush China, 2008-2009.
See–I knew it was Bush’s fault somehow! Bush spent all the money he saved on body armor and levees on new china, and it would be wasteful of Obama not to use it!
B-Rock to Man, o, man:
“Yours is the first official state visit of my presidency, its fitting that you and India be so recognised,” 48-year-old Obama told the 77-year-old Indian leader.
In other words, “Aren’t you lucky I noticed you?”
The general reaction in India has been: Who the heck does this guy think he is? Note to the Great Diplomat: When you do a head of state an honor, you don’t remind him, in public, of the fact that you have done him an honor, particularly in self-aggrandizing terms of this sort.
Barack doesn’t know whether to bow to the guy or ask him to caddy. Why not both?
And while you’re at it, ask him why India’s economy is growing at three times the rate of America’s (hint: involves giving up decades of socialism). You might learn something. Think of it as the New Delhi Amateur Open.
