To demonstrate that he feels the nation’s economic pain over sequestration cuts, President Obama earlier this week announced that he would return 5 percent of his salary in a stand with federal workers. With that announcement, some hoops at the Easter egg roll and two grueling California fundraisers out of the way, the president today took to the golf course to stand with his caddy.
WH Pool Rpt: "We didn't get a glimpse of POTUS when we returned, though we saw a set of golf clubs resting in a Titleist bag."

Interesting theory, certainly. But what possible reason would people have to become defensive?
It's a day that ends with "y." "@BuzzFeedAndrew: Obama's playing golf today."

If you have a problem with the president taking some time off to hit the links, you might be a racist. Also, Bush.

What drives the Obama golf hate? Do they just hate seeing a black man on the green? Logic clearly plays no part in it.

Look, that Bush guy is still golfing! While Obama was busy teaching kids how not to shoot free throws, Bush was just goofing off, as usual.
What a day! I got to play golf with President Bush and won a new Mercedes in the Project Shelter Pro Shootout! #WOW pic.twitter.com/cVELYWSCKy
