Obama was out golfing when the 5.9 earthquake hit the East coast, but reports surrounding the President’s activities on the golf course are unclear. (Reports that the quake caused him to “miss his putt” are unconfirmed)
Here is the description of the events of the afternoon according to the White House statement:
But Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown isn’t so sure: “It is unclear where the president led the 2:50 p.m. conference call on the earthquake. He has not left the general golf course area here in Oak Bluffs, but the White House will not provide any more specifics on his exact whereabouts during the call.” she reported.
Obama seems to relish the fact that he can still lead the country and vacation at the same time. If true, I think all of us would rather lead our conference calls on the golf course.
