<p>President Barack Obama is playing too much golf. He&#8217;s entitled to take a break once in a while, but he golfs so often that he no longer does the job he was elected to do. When there is a crisis, or a decision to make, he is almost never at work&#8211;he is on the links instead. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a partial list of the things President Obama has missed to play golf:</p>

</ul>
<p>Sign the petition. Tell President Obama to stop playing so much golf, and to start dealing with America’s problems. If he doesn&#8217;t, the American people will &#8220;take a Mulligan&#8221; in 2010–and 2012!</p>

<p>Dear President Obama:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We  elected you to govern, not to golf. In your first 16 months in office, you have played far more golf than your predecessor did in eight years. We are  fighting two wars, and enduring the worst economic crisis since the  Great Depression. We face terrorism, financial crisis, and environmental  disaster. Yet you continue to play instead of working. We, the  undersigned, ask you to stop playing golf so often, and to get back to  doing your job.</p>
