I find this to be interesting, first, that the media invented a controversy during the P. Bush years about his golfing habits, which Bush then gave up because he thought it sent the wrong message to military families while their loved ones were deployed in war zones, second, that Bush set a trend internationally that P. Obama is ignoring, and third, that the leftist media has given up its golfing habits obsession all-of-a-sudden for Obama.
Certainly, Obama is not the first president to golf on memorial day, but it's interesting to see how we're seen by the world. I wonder if it would be better if he chose to play golf with some veterans.
