Golf is On The Agenda

While any previous Presidents may have been looking for a natural cure for hair loss or how much the presidency has aged them, President Obama is keeping his youthful appearance. This may be due to the fact as of November 2009 (just 11 months on the job), Obama has played 25 golf games. You might be thinking that this isn’t that many, but his predecessor, George W. Bush played 25 golf games in his entire two term presidency.
Bush decide to quit playing golf in August 2003:
I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.
Bush was sometmes criticized for playing golf, while Obama gets a free ticket.
