I understand averages.

Therefore this report shows ON AVERAGE that Obama spends more time golfing than he does in meetings about jobs and the economy.

Logic???

Using your logic - not that logic enters into anything on P&C - he either isn't playing an entire round of golf, or golfs every other week.

Which is it?

Either way, average of 2.88 hrs a week still holds.

When you reduce the 600 hours to the ridiculous, I guess then it's time to divert, change the subject and go this this:

So, better he should work seven days a week, 12 - or better yet 24 - hours a day. Then when mistakes occur, he can be lambasted for not having the common sense to take a bit of time off.

According to this theory, the President is merely a machine, devoid of emotion, has no need of rest, just keep the joints lubricated and he should work 24 hours around the clock.

Ya, right.

Opinion writer Mt Thiessen doesn't necessarily represent the Washington post he just writes his ultra rightwing opinions that are published in the Post, as for Obama not attending his daily intelligence meeting the article points out he does read the minutes of the meeting if he isnt present....

And intelligence people have said that it is VERY important to attend these meetings in person so that questions can be asked and answered in order to get the best picture.

Does that make sense to a Liberal?

Besides, it was OBAMA that claimed he'd have a laser-like focus on jobs and the economy and it was OBAMA that said he would spend every waking hour trying to fix the economy.

Obviously, that was pure BS.

Bottom Line:

To Obama, golf is more important than national security, jobs, and the economy.

This is where I wonder... do any of the conservative posters here actually have JOBS?

Have you guys never been to a routine meeting before? What if these meetings are just not that productive, or are filled with minutiae that is not worth the president's time? Why do you just lap up criticism from right-wing blogs instead of using your own brains, or better yet, why can't you believe that the PRESIDENT of the United States has discretion and knows how to use his time?

He seems to use his "discretion" to avoid meetings about security, the economy, and jobs while placing a HIGHER priority on GOLF.

No, Obama has his priorities right - 2.88 hrs of recreation a week clears the head and allows one to laser focus on national security, jobs and the economy.

Also, congratulations - you just earned another 5 cents.

His schedule is posted for all to see. I believe he has said himself his day ends around 6pm.
