(Obama Inauguration Lincoln Memorial Event)

I grew up in a military family -- and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Col. Earl Woods.

My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw firsthand the dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defeneded our safety in the dark of night and far from home.

I have not been a great fan of Tiger but this impresses me given the surrounding circumstances AND the utter lack of MSM coverage. No mention of the 'One' except for "... and particularly on this historic day ..." but made strong acknowledgment of debt to Lincoln and Civil War.

Tiger’s a class act. I’m thrilled he’s back in the game.

Well done, Tiger. The statement is respectful, but does not feed into the Obama Mania Machine.

Tiger is one smart cookie.

Tiger is a class act and his foundation affects millions of kids. He's not afraid to say what's on his mind and when he does, he's usually right.

I guess where he gets into trouble is he can be potty mouthed at times and arrogant at others. But, so be it, the good tiger far outweighs the bad tiger.

Amen. He does good things with his money. Is he perfect? No. But who is.

Yes, he had good parents. Isn’t his mother Hawaiian, or part Hawaiian? [I didn’t read the article clear through, lol]

Tiger Woods said he wasn’t actually “black” at all — he was “Cablinasian.”

Woods made his remarks on “Oprah,” when he was asked if it bothered him to be called an African-American. “It does,” he said. “Growing up, I came up with this name: I’m a ‘Cablinasian.’” As in Caucasian-black-Indian-Asian.

Woods has a black father (or to be precise, if I am interpreting Woods’ reported ancestry correctly, a half-black, one-quarter American Indian, one-quarter white father) and a Thai mother.
