In an interview set to air on Tuesday, former president George W. Bush took the high road and defended the president’s golf outings as a necessity to release the stresses of the job.
“I see our president criticized for playing golf. I don’t. I think he ought to play golf,” Bush said. “I know what it’s like to be in the bubble. I know the pressures of the job, and to be able to get outside and play golf with some of your pals is important for the president. It does give you an outlet.
President Obama is often criticized by Republicans for his trips to the golf course. It is good to see the former President stand up for Mr. Obama, in spite of the nonsense coming from his own party.
