That he did was a mistake on his part. The MSM plays these little games with all presidents - - you know how many times Obama has played golf because a particular reporter (can't recall his name offhand) has kept track of it - - and reporters <b>have</b> tried to shame Obama into giving up his golf game, most recently when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died (Obama didn't golf on the Saturday when Scalia was buried, but golfed the next day, Sunday).<br /><br />I'll grant you that the MSM will put a bit more pressure on Republican presidents than on Democrats, but they play these little games with <i>all</i> of the presidents, and if you blink - - as Bush did - - it's taken as a sign of weakness.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402651457453813639noreply@blogger.com
