Obama Break The Record!
On December 26 President Obama played his 32nd round of golf for the year, breaking the record for the number of times that a President has played golf in a single year.
The previous record was 30 rounds of golf in a single year, set by President Obama in 2010.
He may have an opportunity to extend his record now that he has begun his 17-day long,
$4 million vacation in Hawaii.
The economy continues to flourish.

What Does Japan have that the U.S. Does Not?
We have just learned that in September 2009 Obama requested permission to speak in either Nagasaki or Hiroshima for the purpose of formally apologizing to Japan for dropping the atomic bombs that brought World War II to an abrupt end.
Japan refused Obama's request, stating that it could have negative impacts on their nuclear energy programs and on their ongoing relationship with the United States for their national defense.
So what does Japan have that the U.S. does not?
Adult leadership.
Obama to America - "Pass this Jobs Bill Right Away"!
With his vacation to Martha's Vineyard passed and after a trip to Camp David to rest up from his vacation, Obama finally gave his speed to Congress about his "Jobs Plan". Senate Majority Leader graciously referred to it not as a "Jobs Plan", but a "Re-election Plan". The job it was focused on preserving, was Obama's.
It calls for new "infrastructure" expenditures in roads, bridges, airports and railroads. Apparently the ones missed by the last Stimulus bill. And it calls for investments in cops, firefighters and teachers, as if the spending in the last Stimulus bill was not enough. Like the last Stimulus bill, there is no hint as to what happens when the Stimulus money is spent. Ohio is now going through what happens when the Stimulus money is spent, as hundreds of thousands of unionized government employees demand that their premium pay, lavish pensions and "cost is no object" health care plans be continued after the money has been all spent.
"Pass this Jobs Bill Right Away", demands Obama. But there is no bill. It hasn't been written. Apparently he wants it passed before it is written.
Because of that it is unclear what Obama's "Plan" entails. There is only a "guesstimate" that it will cost nearly $.5 Trillion. Obama said that in another 10 days he will give another speech to tell how he plans to pay for the Jobs Bill.
Let's wait until we have read the bill, and have a good idea what it will cost. If we could wait until after Obama enjoyed his vacation, and rested up from his vacation at Camp David before giving his speech, then he can wait until we have read the bill and understand the costs. Then the debate can begin on why this Stimulus would work any better than Tarp, Stimulus, and Stimulus II.
Obama to Give a Speech, Instead of a Plan
Refreshed by his luxurious vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Obama has obligated himself to deliver a "Jobs" plan. Meanwhile, the Tea Party Express has organized a debate among Republican candidates for his job.
No problems. Obama will give a speech about jobs. He will blame the lack of jobs on Bush, and call for a renewed Stimulus to fund more government jobs. And he will neutralize the Republican debate by scheduling his speech before the full House and Senate on the same night, commandeering as many networks as he can.
Oops. You can't schedule speeches on the floor of the House, without coordinating it with the Speaker of the House. And Boehner said "NO" to scheduling it on the same night, pre-empting the Republican debate.
Hopefully standing up to the "Incompetent in Chief" will become a habit.
Obama Says He Will Have A Plan in September,
Goes on Vacation
What else can we say? While America suffers, Obama lives like King Faruk. Now he says he will have a plan in September (didn't he say he had one before he was elected?), and heads to Martha's Vineyard. The stock market voted its approval, and dropped another 400+ points.
Perhaps if vowed to stay on vacation the market would go up. If he took all his regulatory "Czars" with him, it would probably soar.
