Your first thought: They really don’t realize how hypocritical it is?

But oh, they do. They just don’t care. Even if the media wasn’t going to cover for them, Barack Obama golfing and fundraising is different than the speaker golfing and fundraising. Why? Because he’s Barack Obama.

Just like George Bush racking up $4 trillion in debt over 8 years is “unpatriotic” but Obama adding $4 trillion in 2 1/2 years is saving the country and being all around wonderful.

George Bush starting wars to liberate Arab countries from dictatorial oppression is stupid and bad, but Barack Obama doing the same? Why, he’s a humanitarian and scholar.

You get the point. They just don’t care.

Which is why we get this from Obama spokesman Bill Burton:

.@BDayspring what’s the word on the Speaker’s handicap this summer? Is all the fundraising taking a toll on his swing?

In response to a Tweet noting that Barack Obama is golfing and fundraising amidst natural disasters and economic distress. (Never mind the fact Boehner isn’t president — Barack Obama is.)

So what’s Barack Obama been doing lately? Golfing and fundraising. ABC News:

The presidential foursome on Saturday also included UBS Americas CEO Robert Wolf, a member of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and a major campaign donor. Wolf gave the maximum legal contribution to Obama in 2008 and again for 2012, Federal Election Commission records show. …

On Saturday, Obama visited the home of Harvard University law professor Charles Ogletree, who taught both the President and First Lady in law school and regularly summers on the island, according to local press reports.

Ogletree one day earlier co-hosted a Democratic fundraiser – billed as “Voices for Obama” – at Union Chapel in Oak Bluffs, where Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz gave the keynote address.

Then on Sunday, Obama traveled to the West Tisbury mansion of Comcast CEO Brian and Aileen Roberts, where he spent more than an hour mingling at an intimate gathering.

Roberts, who oversees the nation’s largest video and internet company, serves on the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. While FEC records indicate Roberts has not yet contributed to the president’s reelection campaign, one of his Comcast colleagues – executive vice president David Cohen – is a top Obama fundraiser, bundling more than $500,000 for the 2012 campaign so far this year.

And all of those big-donor meetings took place in between rounds of golf at Martha’s Vineyard.

In fact, all told, Barack Obama has attended no fewer than 127 fundraisers this year. Number of jobs plans? Zero. But plenty of fundraisers for his reelection campaign.
