While Southern states reeled from a massive tornado outbreak that killed several dozen people, Barack Obama played his 64th round of golf as president today. The White House pool reporter filed reports on Obama's departure for the links at Andrews Air Force Base and on his return to the White House. However there are no reports by the media informing the public about Obama's golf outing.
The closest to a news report is a post on Twitter by CBS News Radio White House correspondent Mark Knoller. Keith Koffler at the blog White House Dossier also did a post based on the pool report.

Knoller also tweeted that Obama spent four hours on the golf course today.
The South got ripped by tornadoes this weekend, gas prices are hitting $4 per gallon, unemployment claims are up, the budget deficit is still out of control, the war in Libya is a cluster as is Afghanistan where our troops are still getting killed.
Yet the media gives Obama a pass by not doing its basic job of telling the American people how Obama spent his day.

THIS JUST IN! North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue says she spoke with Obama today and that he pledged "whatever it takes to rebuild North Carolina." The governor did not say whether Obama was golfing when they spoke today.
