My goodness. There are more than enough angles out there for the media to legitimately criticize President Obama, so why is the New York Times (and others) spending time analyzing who he plays basketball and golf with? It's preposterous.

Did Bill Clinton and George W. Bush ever include a woman in their golf games? I have no idea - not only because it's irrelevant but because I don't recall the media ever making a big deal about it to begin with. So why is Obama getting the treatment now?

Equally as disappointing as the coverage is the fact that Obama, after correctly asserting the any suggestion of Presidential chauvinism was pure "bunk," turned right around and caved to the press' silly sniping by having White House aide Melody Barnes hit the links with him.

What will the President do when La Raza asks why he hasn't been golfing with a Hispanic. What about Asians? You know Human Rights watch is digging through press reports right now to see if he's golfed with a gay. Pretty soon every time the President wants to go golfing he'll need reservations for a lot more than a foursome.

Lord knows this is all so much more important than analyzing what the President plans to do about Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, health care, and the rest.
