Barack
Obama has great plans for his second term: to bring his golf handicap
down to single digits and finally beat the pants off John Boehner.
Considering that Obama's handicap right now is generously estimated at
17 -- i.e., on a good day he scores in the upper 80s to the lower 90s --
it is a very ambitious goal, but it's doable. Electoral victory would
obviate the need for Obama to waste a lot of time shaking down
star-struck Hollywood stars and
credulous (or frightened) Wall Street tycoons, allowing the president to
devote more attention to the all-important tasks of improving his golf
game, watching basketball, and partying.
But won't golf, basketball, and entertainment, while obviously consuming the lion's share of the president's schedule, leave him enough time for less enjoyable pursuits? Like building on his first-term successes in destroying the economy, undermining the American dream, and knocking America down a peg or two in the international arena. No problem. Obama loves to delegate the more tedious components of his duties (i.e., work), and plenty of his enthusiastic allies are only too happy to pick up the slack.
