Last weekend Barack Obama played his 175th and 176th rounds of golf as president. He played first at Sunnylands, the famously private course on the Rancho Mirage, California estate of the late billionaire Walter Annenberg. Obama next played at Porcupine Creek, the equally private course on the nearby estate of the very-much-alive tech billionaire Larry Ellison.
Not since Dick Nixon hung with BeBe Rebozo and all the other cronies have we had such a crony....well capitalist is the wrong word - a crony protection racketeer in the White House. But to be fair Dick Nixon never, ever traded policy favors for a hundred million dollars the way that BHO has traded the Keystone pipeline for Hedge Hound Tom Steyer's political jack. Tricky Dick was in the minors compared to the current President - playing AA crony while the One is leading off in the majors.
Although I suppose the billionaires in question may simply be trying to keep the Duffer in Chief distracted so that he won't spend his time actually trying to govern because the country can't take much more Obamaian 'leadership'. As it is we're nearing critical toxicity now.
Golf Barry, Golf!
