DO PRESIDENTS GET PRESIDENT'S DAY OFF?

you bet your nine iron they do
 
while washington is readying for yet another arctic blast 
 
the president has winged his way back to rancho mirage
 
barack obama returns to the desert this weekend
 
for some golf — oh, and to meet with the king of jordan
 
the president already loves the twists and challenges of what
 
is perhaps the desert’s most exclusive golf course
 
- the annenberg estate at sunnylands
 
the president is known to have played a round and also
 
two rounds of golf last summer when he was here
 
under the excuse of visiting with the president of china
 
he really wanted to return when it's a little cooler
 
(it was 117 degrees last june , today it's only 90)
 
he's back to play around again
 
and get some golf in with 'his friend' the king
 
after all it's valentine's day so he has the chance to enjoy
 
the perks of being the president
 
- like leaving his family out in the cold
 
sunnylands is famous as the private course on the estate of
 
former ambassador walter annenberg who has hosted
 
presidents, kings, queens (of all kinds) and even princes too 
 
the estate is said to provide all they desire - including golf
 
of course, there are other courses that obama could play

in the immediate area there are a variety of private courses

where a presidential entourage wouldn’t be a disruption

and where other US presidents have played

but barack's dream is to be remembered like the other

special presidents

so he golfs sunnylands, carving his own niche into the long

history of presidents playing on the desert's exclusive course

reinforcing a rancho mirage slogan: 'playground of presidents'

it's said that we can expect to see obama partying with an A+ list

of hollywood celebrities whereas the coachella valley is
 
known as 'hollywood's playground'
 
no matter what gives this weekend

there'll be kings and queens and presidents enjoying paradise
