"George W. Bush says criticism of President Barack Obama's golf outings is misguided"
President Obama has played some 140 rounds since taking office in 2009. That's more than Bush, who gave up golfing during the Iraq War. President Obama's golf outings have been criticized by some in the media as well as the Republican National Committee, which labeled him the "Duffer-In-Chief" on the day that he made his 100th golf outing.
In the interview, which airs Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET, Bush says that amid all the crises that the President of the United States must face, it is only natural to want to step out of the office occasionally.
