When a rare 5.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Washington DC Tuesday, President Obama, whose approval rating is at a record low 38%, was on a golf course in affluent Martha’s Vineyard where he’s vacationing with his family.
This AP photo shows the exact moment when President Obama’s golf swing was interrupted by a White House aide who called to tell him that the White House was still standing. The media was kept at a respectable distance from Mr. Obama but reporters overheard him say, “this couldn’t wait until I finished my 18 holes?”
OK I’m kidding about that last part.
Before resuming his golf game, Mr. Obama conferred with top aides, including his homeland security secretary, national security adviser and disaster response chief.
It was Mr. Obama’s 3rd golf outing since arriving in Martha’s Vineyard for a 10-day vacation on Thursday.
