“No word on if the club will update its website to include “celebrity” guest golfer Barack Obama.”

Great journalism there, Bonney. FYI by calling Obama a celebrity you are simply parroting the McCain camp’s attacks on Obama. That is inappropriate considering Fox News’ attempt at fair and balanced coverage.

Just a tip: Journalism 101

rassia plans on attacking usa they want alaska and wants us not to be able to defend ourselves they stole our stealth technolegy and thrust tech they alson found ufo tech for plasma 20 or 25 years ago now they put it in thier secret weapons they wont use intell they are at war with usa————–russia china iran bigger better stronger alies then usa and britain

I can believe Obama plays high risk games, hanging out the club house to get his picture taken seems a little desparate even for Obama.

Go and chant Oh Blah Blah all you want this guy is a light weight. This is something Britney would do.

Obama is just a media hype project but Obama when not on script in pre written speeches is an air head.

who gives a rats butt unless he’s tiger in disguise

don’t republicans golf? certainly bush does. so does my husband and most of his friends and we’re squarely middle-class.. what’s the story here? that this is elitist? let’s grow up a bit and treat the american voter with a little more respect for our intelligence. go after his ideas but stop this silly non-story. it’s juvenile and moronic.

Bonney Kapp, I am very amused with this “celebrity” as well as elitist tag people like you try to pin on Mr Obama. It’s not his fault that John McCain looks like an old, sickly mean spirited person.

While Obama may look like a “celebrity” he has the education and judgement to back this up.( Unlike your boy McCain that finished 5th from last from the Naval Academy)

I’m sure Mr Obama wishes he could wear $500 shoes as well as have a wife that pilots her own plane(!) as well as being a multi-millionaire. So who is out of touch with us common folk?

If Barack wants to go on a working vacation to visit his grandmother, prepare his convention speech and have some R&R he certainly can do that.

You people at Fixed News are really ridiculous. You call yourselves fair and balance. What a joke. I would like to see something negative about McCain, like him committing adultery w/Cindy. I don’t care if it happened 60 yrs ago he has lied about playing around on his poor wife (since she had gained weight and was 3 inches shorter due to a horrific car accident he chose to be a philander. Notice he refused to comment on Edwards situation. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

The russians are bombing georgia and this idiot is on vacation. This man is no more fit to run toy’s are us than the united states. The dems whinned when bush finished a story to school children not to scare them but say nothing of the senator’s fun in the sun when a friend is under attack!

Wondering if he plays golf any better than he bowls. Most likely not.

What is Bush doing while Russia is pummeling Georgia. Shame on Bush, Georgia is our Ally but yet we sit back and let Russia basically give the middle finger to us. Obama is not president yet, Bush should be leading and he is doing a horrible job.

Wow! Do we know what color underwear he was wearing? Give me a break with story.
No wonder McCain calls him a celebrity, he keeps being followed and reported on overy single move he makes.
Please report something about him when it’s really newsworthy. Leave him alone and let him enjoy his vacation. You’re just hiping his celebrity status with this nonsense.

Just where I would expect Obama to go…hope he does better at golf than his attempt to play CinC.

I find it very interesting that Obama lives the good, expensive, quality life that most Middle America does not enjoy. Yet he keeps telling us that it’s going to cost us to change our living behavior in America. Is it going to cost him? I think not. He and his friends will continue to live according to their standard of living (rich), while the rest of us continue to get taxed, taxed, taxed. I have only been to Hawaii once and I have never been to a Country Club. There seems to be something wrong with the picture Mr. Obama is painting for America and not himself.

God, please help us to wake up this election!

Interesting comment there Sam Urso. Yes, the Russians are/were bombing Georgia and the US President is in Beijing slapping the butts of the female beach volleyball team.
If Obama wasn’t on holiday and was as presumptuous as McCain (who’s sending Lieberman etc.. to Georgia), you would no doubt call him arrogant and remind him that he wasn’t commander in Chief.
And comparing Obama being on vacation to Bush being deer-in-headlights whilst the US was under the worst terrorist attack ever seen isn’t really the same now is it?You’re clueless.

Cathy - you think the McCains are struggling to get by do you? Haha, that’s hilarious.

MCcain should do the same thing, take a break , go on vacation because he is making a full of himself right now. That’s what happen when you don’t take a break!
Bye the way, MCcain must think he is the president of the United States right now! He should shut up and let Bush dealing with the crisis in Gorgia! MCcain :” Don’t act like you have been elected already! Tell me you are not thinking about going to war against Russia?????? What’s is wrong with you???? Is that your only agenda???? War in Irak, then Iran, then Russia, and next????? What you need MCcain, is a good therapist. You have issues! I mean, I know you’ve been through captivity., and war, blah blah bla… but you need to let it go! The entire world is not against you! You should join a support group and deal with those issue, but you are not ready to lead the country! MCCain you are not stable! Please, go so a therapist!!!

Are you serious? Bruce Gordon has a party bias, not that there is any thing wrong with this, but he is forcing his Republican views on the Philadelphia and surrounding area people. When I thought that news reporter were only supposed to report the news with a sense of neutrality? I’m really confused? I don’t think that Barack Obama wants to be viewed as a celebrity, people only begun thinking that way when Sen. McCain brought it up on his commercial. I’m not a Democrat neither am I a Republican, but I think that if people would stop taking so much time making each other look bad, and start solving the country’s issues, this country would be a more tolerable place to live, but the only thing people like to do is talk and bring conflict on themselves. McCain said that he creates those commercials to emphasize the differences between Sen. Obama and himself, but does heknow how idiotic those commercials sounds to the average, level-headed American?If you think about it, thoroughly, no party is doing a thing for the American people. Not Bush and the Republican, nor the predominately Democratic Congress, so if Bruce Gordon wants to make Barack Obama look bad then so be it, but you make your self look even worse by reporting these frivilous stories about Sen. Obama playing golf. B. Gordon and Fox News should be ashamed of themselves, you truly are a “Republican” party station, you don’t look out for the best interest of the people, at all.

How do you people get elite and celebrity, coming from a single parent home, sometimes on food stamps. Today, in some country clubs black people or other minorities are not even allowed, yah it still happens. It is amazing to me how many republicans put people down for actually pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and becoming successful and then call them elite. McCain is the one with the many houses, wears $500 dollar shoes, cannot even keep track of taxes on the houses. Wife spends $750,000 in one month on credit card, should I go on. Has had many cameos on television, movies. So, please. Voters today are becoming more educated and it is really to McCain’s detriment that the internet is so widely used. It is very easy to check some of these untruths on Obama and the flip flops of McCains and visa versa.

To Cathy Curry:

Obama has one home, McLame has TWELVE!!!!!!!!! Who is living the most luxurious life and far disconnected from middle America? Vote McStupid and that is a vote for no change and a plan for the rich. McSame is living off of a silver spoon. Remember, out of his own mouth, he doesn’t understand economics.

While he is out golfing, his campaign is having trouble figuring the ON-LINE instant poll at BOP-O-RAMA.com. His BOP totals are marching toward 200,000. Read more about the controversy below. http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/alphonsocarponzo/gG5F8h

Hey are the embeds going to post a topic

dealing with how fugly John Edwards partner

in fornication is? Sheesh.

Now we know our instincts were correct.

Edwards is a total loser.

Are the issues of this election important anymore?

Come on FOX News!!!!! You are showing your true colors.

You are part of the McCain attack machine.

And you call yourself Fair and Balanced??????????

He fiddels as the world burns.

To say that Senator Obama cannot give solutions to help the poor and middle class because he himself is not part of either class is ridiculous. None of our politicians fit that bill. That’s not a very American or even Republican thing to say. How many of our nation’s preachers discuss poverty every week? How many of them are actually poor? Think about it. A poor person can’t help another poor person get out of debt. Senator Obama got his wealth through his own efforts, while other men his age with the same advantages squandered their talent.

So what if Obama is at a club that is now open to the public. He is a citizen and he is a part of the public. I find it ironic that your news had to mention what it used to cost to be a member. You people make me sick. Stop trying to make mountains out of mole hills. I would like to address the person who spoke about what is happening between Georgia and Russia. What can Senator Obama do? He is not yet the President. Direct that comment to the president of the US at this time. The best that the Senator can do is to stay informed and then to act or vote on whatever Republican President George Bust makes. Why not make the same comment about John McCain (song bird)?

Obama is on vacation.
McCain is on the warpath.
Bush is on pins and needles.

Please God, make this world a better place for all our kids and their descendants. Please do not let our kids have the same worries that we do. Please let our kids not have any worries at all.

that totally wasn’t off topic or anything…
in any case this gives me insight to obamas priorities
golf/vacation > making videos to bash McCain even though he’s “against” that > Coming back to deal with the Russia/Georgia issue

Well at least if he gets elected we’ll know where to find him during any national or world crisis.. the golf course

YOU HATE HIM CAUSE HIS SKIN IS BROWN THATS THE STUPID THING I EVER HEARD. THATS LIKE NOT LIKING A GOLDEN RETRIEVER BECAUSE HE’S GOLDEN. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE COMMON THINGS BETWEEN EVERY MAN. STOP WITH THE BICKERING A.KA FILLIBUSTERSAND FOR ONCE LETS IMPROVE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.

I’ll bet Obama cheats in golf……just par for the course for this liar. I’m surprised he hasn’t begged or paid Tiger Woods yet for his endorsement

Obama again proves himself to be an ELETIST and not a man of the people as he claims. Lies, lies and more lies. That’s all he has to offer.

I’ll bet Obama cheats in golf…….it would be par for the course for this liar. I’m surprised he hasn’t begged or paid Tiger Woods yet for his endorsement.

****Headline****

Former community organizer B. H. Obama plays golf at the prestigious Luna Hills Country Club.

“Sh** I’s hit the lotto” said Barry to his friends. As they came to the half way house one of his esteemed guests snickered saying Obama’s handlers in Chicago told him he could go to any country club in the world and play golf for free, just like that mooch Clinton.

Good for Obama to take some time to visit his family, when do we hear about that. Everytime I visit my son in Colorado, I manage to get in a few rounds of golf at some of their scenic golf courses. I am 64, retired, and very middle-lower income, but I still try to do some relaxing things. He will have many things facing him after vacation.
Good for Obama!!

Hey OBama Supporter what would hou have the President do, send in troops, bomb Russia’s oil facilities, what? I hear blustering but don’t see any suggestions.

who takes 14 friends with them on vacation? must be rich and wants to avoid spending time with wife and kids.

Goerge dubya vacationed more than any president in our history. His trips to Camp David and TX totalled a whopping 2 years. “Countdown w/ Keith Olberman”
You right wingers may not like Keith, but he does not lie.

Obama don’t need sun tan!! Why he is in Hi.?

He is just sicking man. No chance to be the President!

Mccain 08′

to Obama Supporter,

What a idiot you are !! Aren’t you listening to radio? Oh ya, you don’t because you Obama supporters only listen to what you want to hear. Don’t you watch Fox. news?
You guys are so idiots. You don’t study but just watch left media and believe everything.

Bush Administration did so many things. He was in China and talked to Putin and took actions with Europe and united nation’s leader and now sending Humanatarian Aid to Georgia.

You idiots are just telling what to do to people but sit and eat by using other people’s money and tell what to do. but so naive and afraid of challenge and just panic.

Have faith brothers and just calm down and listen to the news instead of panicking!

You are down on the hill with Obama in Nov. Obama is Not American and he is a chicken.

NO EXPERIENCE, NO BRAIN, NO VALUE AND NO PRINCIPLE IN HIS LIFE.

OBAMA IS LIAR, HE NEVER BE ABLE TO LEAD THIS NATION. HE CAN FAKE. SAD..

MCCAIN 08′

was his friend Rev Wright playing golf with him?

Whoop-ti-do. He reportedly went over to see his family and vacation. He spent 1 hour with his ‘typical white grandmother’ alone- wife and daughters didn’t go. Isn’t is sad that his daughters didn’t get the opportunity to see their Great-Grandmother- wonder why that was?
I could really care less about what he wore, I do know that he puts his pants on the way all of us do-one leg at a time. Usually it’s the women that the media focuses their fashion interest on. What was his carbon footprint to get his family over to Hawaii? Until he begins to lead by example, he cannot expect the American people to change their way of living, afterall he hasn’t.

Hey Cathy,

Tell me how you feel about the 10 mansions and $500.00 shoes that McCain owns. Oh, he also jets around the country on his own corporate jet. Who’s the elitist now?

And Neo, I mean Nero fiddled while Rome burned, don’t get overly excited about the crisis in Georgia Obama, you wont have to deal with it anyway.

you need to get off the golf course obama. you just lost the race when you put hillary clinton’s name on the ballot. i am so diappointed that we have to go thru this again and it does show weakness on your part. i will never give another dime to your campaighn again. i am sick to my stomach that john McCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. i just pray that hillary clinton and bill will never get enough votes to be handed the white house. you did not help the cause today barack. you have set us back to the beginning and i just don’t have that much energy left to go thru all this again!
love you but it’s over. white 63 year old woman that supported you 110%!!

Wow just what the country has been waiting for - Obama plays golf WOW! Now that’s news.

Obama Supporter: This election is not about Bush. Seems Dems haven’t figured out that yet. Another sign that they are a bunch of idiots. As far as Obama playing golf, he is such a shallow, dufus, always playing, on vacation, LAZY OBAMA. runs in the family I guess. He is a useless piece, and Michelle, should stay at home and keep her trap shut!

Wake up? Wake up? Surely you jest. The ONLY people in this country who HAVEN’T woken up are those still defending Bush, and voting for McCain. Thankfully, there are fewer and fewer every day.

Hey truthseeker

At least my boy Mccain knows there aren’t 57 states in the union! Obamamama is as stupid as John Kerry (who, by the way, had lower SAT scores than GWB).

So There!

Weren’t reports pushed back not to get photos. I think the man is trying to enjoy himself, and he probably wishes he had a compound that he could fly too on a privately owned jet like McCain. Now who’s in the “elite” club? I’ll take McCain’s money, assets and access card any day over Obama.

Also, did anyone try voting for Obama on the political question of the day? When I tried to vote for Obama, I was given a message that I already vote (NOT).

It’s funny Cathy Curry, while Obama’s tax proposal will actually give a break to the lower and middle class which he will be affected in the increased tax department. McCains plan intends to keep those Upper class tax breaks rolling. How are we the American Tax Payers going to pay for these tax breaks for the rich? Why the good old National Debt.

Do you even know the irony claiming how the Obamas are elitist when they come from very modest backgrounds. While McCain, after leaving his first wife, is now married to an heiress. McCain seemingly has more to do with his Paris Hilton ad, due to the fact he is married to money. I suppose we all need to know when to ditch our first spouse when someone “better” comes along.

The Obama’s represent the American success story. McCain represents marrying into wealth. Seriously who represents the elite of America. My vote would probably be the couple worth MILLIONS. Cindy McCain paid almost as much in taxes as Barack made for his book deal total.

foxnews, where are my comments?! Fair and balanced?!

may i point out that barack obama is not the president of the country just yet..bush is and he is doing nothin about georgia… secondly fox news is trying to paint barack obama like this elitist which he is soo not…and why did they even do a story on this…this is not real news..this is the first vacation this man has had in a long while….while your mccain takes every weekend off ..give me a break!! seriously, fox should start reporting unbiased, real news - ofcourse obama is a celebrity…you follow him around like it….where is mccain??you dont know cuz he is a boring old man who is in all honesty a poser…report real news fox! im disappointed

Your low IQ President was on vacation for approximately over 2 years of his administration. As a matter of fact he was in China, hitting volley ball players on the behind, during the war that you’re so concerned about. Now, when Obama was in Europe you claimed that he was acting to much like a President and you wanted to see less of him. You can’t have it both ways.
For those that call him elitist and rich. He just finished paying off a student loan. He earned his money by being a prolific writer. Your old man McCain is a multi-millionaire. He earned his money by dumping his sick wife and marrying the druggie. Pleeze!

Congress is on vacation ,I can use a vacation for week or two ,Besides the job is already mine ,Georgia, middle east ,Oil ,gas prices can wait,Hold that golf cart…..

Pictures and news reports of Obama golfing bring back memories of President Bush golfing while men and women were in harms way defending our great nation. I find it very ironic that Obama continues to cast McCain as the more similiar candidate to Bush, yet his actions — which speak louder than words — continue to bring up similiar images of Bush.

to happyass, defender of the ONE…”Please report something about him when it’s really newsworthy”:
the only newsworthy report on Oblabla is that ppl are dumb enough to support him. that’s a sad story, happyass.
thankfully the ONE is leaching off the contributions of dummies like you, & not accepting public funding from tax payers too broke to take a vacation.
to truth(BS)seeker…”While Obama may look like a “celebrity” he has the education and judgement to back this up.( Unlike your boy McCain that finished 5th from last from the Naval Academy)”:
GW has an MBA from Harvard, dimwit! did that improve his judgment?

while some of us upper middle class “non-elitists” do play golf, we’re not running for President. Bill Clinton didn’t play golf in Hawaii until he was Pres. Try to remember OBLABLA IS NOT THE PRESIDENT YET, he is only a presumptive nominee.
GO MCCAIN
GO PUMA
VIVA HILLARY!!!

Well, it’s big enough. Nice to know he can hit something right! He sure as heck can’t lead.

Just offering a general observation and curiosity. McCain, as did Hillary, complains that Obama gets so much more media attention yet doesn’t it seem that Obama is also held to stricter scrutiny? I mean no one expects McCain to be perfect as everyone knows he isn’t but isn’t that exactly what they look for in Obama as they criticize everything and fault any supposed flaw. They have created a constant and highly critical observation of him that exceeds what his opponents are subjected to and anything noted other than perfection brings suggested rejection. Of course that is unfair as no one is really perfect and then the only real valid question is whether he is better than his opponent – not super human needing to be without any fault rather just measurably better. There are those that would like the voters to base their decision solely on whether Obama is without blemish, while knowing no one is, and when finding him with imperfection then voting for McCain. The problem with that is that it is over looking the flaws and imperfections in McCain and not really considering who will actually do the better job. It would seem that the voters really need to be more critical of the critics.

For those who criticize Obama for not “handling” the Georgian conflict, remember you pick on him when you think he is acting Presidential. By playing golf during the start of a war, he is acting very presidential (George H. Bush August 1990 or George W. Bush August 2005 with Katrina)

Fox Nuse is slanted, admit it!

WHAT A NEWS STORY FOX NEWS! I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO PULL BUT IT WON’T WORK. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO NONE OF THE DEBATES. BOGUS STORIES!

Gee!
I didn’t know he could play basketball on a golf course!

How dare he golf while he’s on vacation with his family?

PLEASE explain exactly what either McCain or Obama could do to stop the the war in Russia as NOMINESS? Oh I forgot; Putin is waiting to talk to McCain even though he isn’t sure he will be the next President.

Not only that; but BECAUSE you good Americans supported the (re-election)war in 2003
EVERYONE knows that Bush can only squawk in 2008.

Yes Obama is on vacation. At present; he is a US Senator. I find it amusing that Obama is expected to mitigate to crisis in Georgia; but NOTHING is expected of the sitting US President(that you voted for)

Did anyone ask “celebrity” guest golfer Barack Obama the score of his golf round?

Was it anything like the “37″ game that he bowled?

Obama should be careful, there might be some big, fat, annoying, conservative film producer somewhere (the anti-Moore),who may make a movie about him disparaging his political career by showing video of him playing golf during a crisis. It was good for the goose.

Is Michael Moore following him around with his cameraman?
