Obama plays golf after Memorial Day observance
Google News ^ | May 25, 2009 | AP

Posted on 05/25/2009 3:08:50 PM PDT by FocusNexus

President Barack Obama hit the golf course after marking his first Memorial Day as commander in chief.

The president's motorcade took him to Fort Belvoir in Virginia. That's where he went for a game of golf more than a week ago.

Obama grabbed his clubs after he participated in Memorial Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery

It's Memorial Day, he could have visited with the troops.

N. Korea just defied him and the world by a successful nuclear test and firing of missiles.

The UN has an emergency meeting.

Iran sends warships into international waters and is defiant about their nuclear development.

And President Obama goes golfing.

Well, I am so glad he’s going golfing. He needs to relax because times a suddenly, like, SOOOOO stressful for a president. I mean, we elect him because the world will behave if we do and then, like, ALL of these countries are acting like they don’t know we have a “nice” guy in office now.

/s....did I do that right?

The only photo I recall in which Bush looked that disheveled was when he was clearing brush on his ranch. I don’t recall Bush ever slouching, though.

You could have sarcastically mentioned about how he is extremely concerned about the NK nuke.

I remember when I was living in Japan, and they’d have emergency messages about missiles being fired at them from NK in the middle of a show. Someone needs to invade NK and give those poor people a reason to live other than turning cards at their “dear leader’s” next festival.

Just curious... does Obama need a teleprompter to yell out “Fore”?

The Marine is probably thinking the same thing as all of us: ‘Three-and-a-half more years of THIS’?????

He’s so useless. It’s all about personal gratification for him, to the point he makes Clinton look like a hard worker.

You know, I really don't care that Obama went golfing today except for one little thing...

President Bush (43) gave up playing golf after we started the GWOT because of how it might appear. The BDS-infected Lamestream Media and the Looney Left would have had even more seizures and screeched even more.

This poser is so far beneath that, that this would be a compliment.

"After receiving a free ride on a military helicopter, an appreciative homeless man walks towards the hospitality tent set up for free juice and cookies. 'Sure was fun, I hope they does it for us again, real soon too,' said a man wearing jeans and a disheveled coat."

Since he’s so concerned about the environment, I wonder if he walks instead of using a cart.

It would have been my preference that Dear Leader had gone golfing INSTEAD of going to Arlington.

I prefer him playing golf, rather than his favorite sport of banking expert, auto industry executive, author, Visa and Mastercard spokesperson, real estate agent, mortgage broker, energy expert, global warming czar, military tactics expert, teleprompter salesman.....

Hope he play’s golf tomorrow too!

For crying out loud. Give the guy a break.

Do you realize how hard it is to get a tee time on a holiday? And you don't get a refund on your greens fees if you can't make it.

True. So true. And he was extremely handsome in his work clothes, because he worked in them! Smell the sweat! LOL

I think barry thought presidenting would be a piece of cake. He thought that because he played the black card, the world would love him and everyone would get along.
Oh, and today is a Holiday. He certainly cannot be bothered with worldly affairs, or our boys overseas, on his day off.
