That's a good point. I've decided I'm not going to vote for Obama.

"Well of course, that happens when you get re-elected to a 2nd term."

And more importantly, actually do the job instead of golfing.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Well, he did like to golf too, just not as much as Trump. Didn't Obama golf like every week during his presidency?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago

Depends what you mean by golf. Finding a morning to play 2 holes a short helicopter hop away is playing golf. But it's not fly to Mar A Lago and ignore all responsibility level of playing golf.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

He played like 350 rounds of golf during his presidency. That seems fine to me, but it seems weird to try to minimize that fact. He would regularly fly and play at resorts in Florida, Martha's Vineyard, and around DC. I Googled it, it was pretty well covered.

If that seems problematic to you, think about this: Trump (among many others) loudly criticized Obama for how much golf he played, but then when Trump took office, he proceeded to play twice as much golf.

If you think that's crazy, Woodrow Wilson played twice as much as Trump!! Even during WWI!

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Let's contextualize though. He played twice the amount of golf, in half the time.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

No, he played twice the amount compared to Obama over four years. You're weirdly attached to interpreting this golf thing.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I'm weirdly attached to fighting stupid conservative propaganda. Let's put it a third way. Trump golfed about every 3.4 days, while Obama golfed about every 8.8 days.

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

But Woodrow Wilson kind of sucked.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I heard he was like a 24 handicap lol

[-] Pips@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 17 hours ago

It's a sport where you can walk, talk, and do a sport. Decent way to get very moderate exercise while also doing work. I can see why it's popular. My guess is most presidents (except Trump) who golf do so to get outside for a bit in a secluded area while working given the job is nonstop.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I've heard it's also fairly easy to do security for.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 76 points 23 hours ago

Every accusation a confession.

Every insult a projection.

Every win a rigged election.

[-] Kushan@lemmy.world 20 points 19 hours ago

Genuinely forgot Obama was in his 60's, fuck I'd be glad to be that fit in my 40's.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 110 points 1 day ago

OK. Push up contest? Cage match? 100m sprint? Contest to see who can go the longest without shitting themselves?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago

I'd pay money to watch a Trump v Obama basketball game

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago

Trump could hold him off with that absolute dump truck of an ass.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

How old is this picture though? I doubt he could even still do this much.

[-] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 day ago

That should really be censored

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 50 points 1 day ago
[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

it also needs snapchat filters and maybe some cursive text like "junk in da trunk"

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

My bad, I can now see how posting a pic of a blonde with an ass that just won't quit could be problematic.

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Look.. you might’ve made me laugh pretty hard just now, but you didn’t have to post this. You woke up and chose violence.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 21 hours ago

Tennis is more activity than I would have thought him capable of.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago

Ah, yes, the famous Trump comeback,

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

This from the guy who cancelled due to exhaustion recently?

[-] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

Didn't he pull out of a number of friendly interviews and events recently? The spoilt orange turd, not the energetic eloquent capable one.

if theres one thing the orange turd is a pro at, its proooojection

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

No, he was exhausted and looked old 8 years ago. He looks so much younger now

[-] babybus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

The original title is much better.

[-] So_zetta_slowpoke@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Pot, black, says Kettle, silver, is 'black'.

[-] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Must be a nice view from that glass house of his.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

The irony of Trump doing this.
