Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that to help pay down the deficit, he is pushing to have golf fees for seniors taxed. Free golf will be pro-rated on the prevailing standard to establish a safety net that will permit those who golf without paying green fees to pay their fair share. A chorus of opinionated posters at the Talk of the Villages website in central Florida weighed in with their views:

Keedy - hit the keyboard with a flurry of posts that concluded with something about black helicopters

Bucco - Sol Alinsky is behind this

Cabo35 - I agree with Bucco

Kahuna - let's all remain calm and approach this intellectually. No need to rush to judgement

Steve Z - an intrinsic elucidation of the plan reveals that it is typical of all government processes and we need to vote them all out

Talk Host - Can someone find out if they might be interested in taking out an ad on TOTV to promote the program
