More golf for the President (and Congress)!

The press is in a tizzy about President Obama’s private (as in press free) golf outing with Tiger Woods Saturday at the Floridian, an exclusive golf and yacht club on Florida’s Treasure Coast. The conservative press is doubly in a tizzy due to the cost of Obama’s vacation which in addition to Air Force 1, the Secret Service security team, and accommodations, also included a full day of golf instruction from Butch Harmon, Woods’ old coach and one of the best known and most expensive golf instructors in the world. I, for one, applaud the President’s golf weekend and think he should have more of them – and he ought to take Congress with him. It’s when they are in Washington, D.C., that scares me. I propose all Americans pony up and fly the President and Congress, their families, and a team of golf instructors on a worldwide, four-year-long golf resort tour. What would it cost us? $100 million a week maybe? Chicken feed. We would save trillions by keeping them out of Washington.
