FORE Ebola! Despite the first case of Ebola spreading in America, Obama had his priorities right again and headed to the golf course for the record 200th time as president. Think about it. 200 rounds of golf for King Putts in just under six years. At an average 5 hours per golf outing, what would be 1,000 hours wasted on the golf course since his reign of terror began in 2009. No other president in American history is even close to Obama’s record of 200 golf outings. In fact, no other president in American history even has 100 golf outings. Ebola spreading in America? Kobani about to fall? ISIS on the march to Baghdad? A crappy economy? FORE!!! Obama has now golfed every weekend since May 3rd.

| Ebola develops in America – Obama golfs for 200th time |
|---|
President Obama today played golf for the 200th time of his presidency, a milestone that for many is emblematic of a president who has frequently seemed detached from his job, his colleagues in Washington, and the American people.
The president’s 200th trip to an oasis of fairways comes at a particularly turbulent time. The usual problems – an uncertain economy that may or may not be gaining its footing, stagnant wages, low work force participation, Iran on the cusp of a nuclear weapon, and soaring U.S. debt – are all present.
But as he strolls about the course today, Obama now also finds himself waging war with merciless Islamists terrorists raging across Iraq and Syria like a wildfire, confronting the 21st century version of the Bubonic Plague, and facing the revived threat of a major terrorist attack.
And yet he played 28 times in 2009 and on only 19 occasions in 2012. This year, as speculation grows he’s lost interest in the presidency, Obama has played 43 times, putting him on track to break his personal record of 46, which he set in 2013 after being safely reelected.
