The black guy's playing golf again
How are we going to shift the focus of the campaign back to those all-important policy issues, The Washington Times?
A “boys’ weekend” of golf with Tiger Woods in 2013 was fun for President Obama, but it was a triple-bogey for taxpayers.
The Government Accountability Office reported Wednesday that the departments of Defense and Homeland Security spent more than $3.6 million in travel costs and other expenses for Mr. Obama’s getaway weekend with Mr. Woods and other golf partners at an exclusive resort in Florida.
And how did this come to light?
... The performance audit, which took about 20 months to complete, was requested by Sen. John Barrasso, Wyoming Republican. The report said the true costs of the president’s golf weekend cannot be known because some of the Pentagon’s expenses are classified.
... “At a time when the government was tightening its belt to prepare for sequestration, President Obama had such little disregard for the taxpayer that he spent millions of dollars to play golf with Tiger Woods,” Mr. Barrasso said. “This arrogance is par for the course for the Obama administration.”
And how do you conclude a story like this?
... Mr. Obama has played more than 300 rounds of golf during his presidency, the vast majority of them on courses in the immediate Washington area.
How will The Washington Times look when white people reclaim the White House? Let's see if Thursday's online edition holds any clues:
A woman introducing Hillary Clinton at a campaign event conspicuously removed the words “under God” from the end of the Pledge of Allegiance, prompting the Democratic primary front-runner to laugh.
Let's go to the videotape on that:
The New York Post may have caught Hillary Clinton in a little white lie told on a Spanish-language network program.
Asked for her favorite food while appearing on Wednesday’s edition of Univision’s “El Gordo y La Flaca,” the former secretary of state said “I think it would be Mexican food.”
Aside from Mrs. Clinton’s surreptitious April 2015 visit to a Chipotle outside Toledo, Ohio, however, there’s little evidence to back up her claim.
It's going to be a long four years on New York Avenue.

Presumably when previous presidents played golf it was at zero cost to the taxpayer. Perhaps Sen. Barrasso could discover how that was managed: best practice for future presidents to follow.
