There has been quite a bit of howling from the right over the president's continued golf outings in the midst of two international crises – in Japan and Libya. But Gene Healy gives an interesting take in a column Wednesday, noting that the more time Obama spends on the links, the less time he has to ram his misguided agenda into law. Of course, there is the entirely separate issue of the press's double standard on presidential gold outings, but is the country actually better served if Obama spends more time on the golf course? Healy writes : …you don’t have to buy into a conspiratorial view of this administration to appreciate that presidential inactivity’s a good thing here. There’s not much the President can do in Japan. There’s not much he should do in Libya. And given the screwy ideas this president has about how to spur economic growth, you should want him outside getting some fresh air, instead of in the Oval, pouring over briefing books. Mark Twain once said that “No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.” You could say much the same about activist presidents. One of our best presidents, the Great Calvin Coolidge, regularly napped in the afternoons. Instead of railing against Obama’s golfing habit, we’d do better to encourage a presidential siesta. What do you think? And remember, this is a wholly separate issue from the press's treatment of the issue.

Murdoch iPad paper to launch in UK

iPad newspaper to be available via iTunes once Apple subscription model is agreed, as Daily begins to charge in US Rupert Murdoch’s iPad newspaper the Daily will be available in the UK within months, depending on when Apple’s new online subscription model becomes available in this country. The chief digital officer of Murdoch’s News Corporation, Jon Miller, told the Abu Dhabi Media Summit that the Daily would be available in western Europe “not too long from now”. When asked if that would be in the first half of this year, he answered yes. The Daily will be available via iTunes, although the exact timing of the launch is uncertain as several British publishers have expressed unhappiness with Apple’s plan to charge them 30% of their subscription fees for all iPad apps it sells via its digital store. There were also suggestions from one company source that News Corp will also create a UK-specific version of the Daily at an unspecified future date – but others at the media giant emphasised there were no immediate plans for a British edition of the title. Miller told the audience that the Daily faces a “moment of truth next week” when it begins to charge. Until now the iPad newspaper has been available on a free trial in the US, but readers will have to pay to continue reading the product. Charges have been set at 99 cents a week or $39.99 for a year. Although the Daily has been free so far, it is understood that a few thousand people have already signed up to the year-long subscription. News Corp has not released any numbers, but it is estimated that the figure is in the region of 5,000. •
