“I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

.... I have no words.....

1. I guess he thinks historians will note this action as noble.

What an idiot!!

Yea..It's getting pretty hard to respond to his simple minded juvenile thoughts and comments.

2. Seven years on and he suddenly has a sense of duty?

Must have been something he ate. Too bad it didn't lodge in his windpipe.

3. IOW, no more CAMERAS filming him playing golf. nt

4. Please don't be confused: sport fishing from the family yacht at Kennebunkport...

...is acceptable. Throwing out first balls at baseball games is acceptable. Starring in comedy routines that trivialize the lies you told which led to the deaths of 4,000+, and counting, American soldiers is acceptable.

Playing golf crosses the line and is NOT acceptable.

5. little late now, isn't it?

sheesh. Could he be any more unaware?

[Ioo]

6. said 5 years into the war, and how many thousand dead... you get around to this...

I mean really, this was said today... not 5 years ago... so he gave up nothing

7. You said it best "....I have no words...."

8. I understand that Bush also gave up his studies of quantum mechanics

as a major sacrifice.

11. Just the kind of attempt at human reactions a psychopathic narcissist would utter.

But always landing off-center.
