ran 3.2 miles
Today ends week ninety-four of running against Obama. I ran 23.6 miles this week, averaging 3.37 miles per day.
In an article by Emily Miller from the Washington Times, "The next time President Obama hits the links, it will be his 100th round of golf since coming to the White House."
In three and one-half years this president has golfed enough to equal four entire months worth of work time.
2009: President Obama promised his stimulus bill would save or create 3.5 million jobs. Unemployment was 8.3% and our national debt was $10.8 trillion. First golf outing was April 26, 2009. Twenty-seven rounds were played in his first year.
2010: Unemployment at 9.7%. President Obama proposed a second stimulus and a health care overhaul. The Democratic Congress passed these bills. Thirty-one rounds of golf were played in his second year.
2011: Unemployment at 9.1%. During the midterm elections President Obama was "shellacked" and lost control of his House. The Senate took losses but narrowly remained Democratic. American voters had sent a message of how little they approved of Barack Obama's leadership and the decisions he had made. National debt was $14 trillion. Thirty-three rounds of golf were played.
2012: By the time President Obama had delivered his State of the Union Address, he was up to ninety-three rounds of golf. Unemployment was at 8.3%, national debt was $15.2 trillion, and America's credit rating was downgraded.
37.1 miles to go.
