My Comment: Fiscal cliff, massive budget deficits, sequestration, looming recession, Syrian civil war, Egypt in crisis, Afghanistan war, rise of Al Qaeda in Africa, rise of China, Euro crisis continuing, etc., etc., etc., .... shesshhhh .... and the media gave President Bush grief when he played a round of golf during his Presidency.
