You jackasses complained about Obama ad nauseum. Why no complaints now?
Because you brought it up and are fishing for complaints. I typically make it policy to err on the side opposed to what a liberal wants. Had you brought it up talking about how nice it is that our Dear Leader can go to Mar A Lago for a relaxing weekend, I would have gone the other way and screamed what a waste of money it is. You know, I'm a completely hypocritical piece of ****, just like you.

do you REALLY want to go there....should we research how many times maobama played?...and the worst part is he STILL can't break 100 without cheating...he's as bad a golfer as he was a president
Obama first 90 days in office yielded ZERO golf outings. In 8 years he played 306 rounds or once every 10 days. However, the majority coming on family vacations. There seems to be a possible discrepancy, as another report claims 333. http://obamagolfcounter.com/

Trump has played golf 11 times since becoming President or once every 6 days.

I don't know....the things is: Trump was so vocal about Obama golfing and vacationing. Yet he's been in office a very short time and has already done both with extreme frequency. I'm reaching I know, but it does show that Trump talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk at all. I find it kind of funny that he isn't losing credibility with his base at all....just because of the executive orders "proving" he is living up to campaign promises. Actions that he ridiculed Obama for as well, I think.

If you would look at the list in the link you would see that the family vacations and golf were clustered into two events per year, most of the local golf being played at Andrews Air Force base and Fort Belvoir in the DC area. Not flying somewhere on AF1 every weekend to play.

The majority of the golf looks to be done on vacations or holiday weekends.

It is too much. of course, unlike any president before, he is actively negotiating contracts and saving more money than it costs to go to Florida. I do think he should stop it.

These jackasses don't want to accept the fact that their ignorant, reckless hero is a hypocrite. They also don't want to accept the fact that they are hypocrites. They railed Obama incessantly over vacations and golf. So did Trumplethinskin. Now, 6 weeks in to his term, TTS has been to FL for 5 of the 6 weekends. And his kids and grandkids hitched a ride to Aspen on back-up Air Force One while the other one apparently was hauling TTS's as to Palm Beach. It would be hard to make this up as it would be so unbelievable that anyone would be so blatantly hypocritical.

Go ahead and do that ... then calculate it as rounds per week.

And you're ignoring Trump's other big lie ... "If I was president, I would be too busy working for you to play golf"

Personally, I don't care. So, the president wants to play golf, big deal. I didn't care that Clinton got a BJ from an intern either, to me that's between him and his wife and the intern. But you guys whined non-stop about Obama playing golf and their vacations .... but now use that as justification for Trump playing golf every week (and probably lining his pockets with tax dollars by putting secret service in rooms at his resort), and find every justification for Melania and son to live in NY at $400k-$500k per day.

So, is it bad? Or is it justified? Make up your mind. Because right now you're doing both.

Honestly, I don't think I ever said anything about Barry taking vacations and playing golf. I think there were plenty of other items to hit him with.

With Trump, I'll admit, I think his use of Mar A Lago is excessive.

I don't recall you doing it either. The only problem I have with it really is 1) his own hypocrisy, and 2) I imagine he is using the resort for the secret service that accompany him, so a lot of the money spent for his trips, are coming right back to his own pocket, at our expense.

The second part is just speculation of course, so if I'm proven wrong I'll gladly retract that statement. If he's going to golf, I'd prefer he not fly to FL every weekend to do it ... but mostly don't have a problem with it.

I'm sure some of them are staying there but I doubt it falls within per diem rates and I'd think that would be an easy ethics target if they all were.

From the looks of it and based on his tweets.....Trump is putting in more than 8 hours a day. He is building up comp time at a rapid pace. Give the man a break. Just curious....did the Trump siblings hijack AF-1 and commandeer it to Aspen? I was not aware that they could do such a thing.

And the left whined about Bush going to the farm in Texas.... and the right whined about Obama playing golf... and the left whined about Trump's son and wife staying in NY..... and they whine, they whine, they whine.

Being President is a 24/7 job. Doesn't matter where they are, golf course or not, they are working all the time.

In terms of protection details for the families.... take it up with the Secret Service.

No, it wouldn't fall under per diem rates ... but you know there are different rules for those people than for us. Do you think none of them get more than $50/year from contractors? I'm not bashing Trump with that ... that's everybody. There's no way in hell they live by the same rules we do

What does his score have anything to do with the wasteful spending by Trump? Please explain without saying "Obama did it." You can't justify it. And you also know that Trump is on track to outspend Obama on vacations by many times over.

Is golfing on the weekend considered vacationing?

Thats another good one. You bring a whole new meaning to the word "honestly". Fact is you hate everything about Trump and do give a rat's arse.
I hate him and think it's hysterical he flies to Florida every weekend for golf. #DrainTheSwamp
