Great? If by “great,” she means mockable.
President Obama hit the links in Martha’s Vineyard today, natch.
As Pres Obama heads to the Vineyard, his golf stats stand at 133 rounds (not including a session of mini-golf with daughter Sasha.)

Yep. Squee! Squee like the wind! It’s not like there is anything important going on or anything.
Pool: He let out a little, "Ooooh," as it happned. Do see photos.

Obama pool report from the Vineyard: "We have 'news.' The pool got a rare glimpse of the president's golf game in action."

Pool gets rare view of Obama golf outing and sees POTUS chip it onto the green and three-putt in the hole. Guessing it's a triple bogey.

Sigh. And what’s with the all-caps “GOLF”? Serious You Guys … BREAKING! Plus, the photo itself is ripe for captioning.
But, hey, it’s totally a treat and stuff.
@Dharapak Field day for pool. Can't remember the last time they had a view of POTUS while golfing!
— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) August 11, 2013
Folks, it's so rare that the White House pool can see Obama golfing. So these pictures coming out are a treat
— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) August 11, 2013
To be fair, they were golf-snubbed recently in a bitter case of unrequited love.
Hilarious, yet also sad.

So. Dreamy.
Exit question for the lapdogs:
@Matthops82 At this point, isn't it easier to just note when Obama isn't playing golf or vacationing? @BuzzFeedAndrew
— Dan (@Dan_the_A) August 11, 2013
Priorities!
What is this about missing putts? You would think Obama would at least be good at golf given all the practice he gets.

Zing!
