Japan Nuclear Disaster, Middle East aflame National Budget Problems

Please don't be so harsh. A President can't be held responsible for all the bad things that happens in a country. He can't control each activity going on as if he does then you will call him a bad ruler yourself. Let him live his life normally and relax a bit and play golf. You can claim him to be incompetent if he is not able to run the country properly and oust him of his dignity but not for him doing something like playing golf or giving interviews.

Probably just taking a time-out to recoup. The mind can play lots of tricks on one if too overloaded.

Gee, 61 times in over two years isn't bad at all. It only averages out to around once every two weeks or so! It's certainly not as if there isn't the modern technology for him top be reached if he's needed, is it? As for the NCAA picks, I'm sure the time for him to tape that had been scheduled quite some time ago. I'm not saying this is unique to this particular President although I sure think it's worst than I've ever seen it before, but he sure can't win, can he? If he's involved in every little thing that's happening here and abroad, he's micromanaging and if he's not, he's not showing leadership. Of course, whatever he does or does NOT do is never enough to satisfy those who made up their mind about President Obama long before he took office. What can I say, welcome to the world of politics!
