Obama Ties Bush

President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years.
CBS' Mark Knoller — an unofficial documentarian and statistician of all things White House-related — wrote on his Twitter feed that, "Today - Obama ties Pres. Bush in the number of rounds of golf played in office: 24.
Took Bush 2 yrs & 10 months."
The truth of the matter is that Mr. Bush gave up golf while the Wars on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan were taking place. He felt it unseemly to have soldiers fighting and dying while he was enjoying himself on the course.
