Washington - North Korea gave Washington about an hour's notice before its early Monday morning test of a nuclear explosive device that was estimated to be "a few kilotons" in strength, a senior US government official said.
While a response of condemnation kept US President Barack Obama working well past midnight and into early Monday morning, just hours later he laid a memorial wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at the military's burial grounds, Arlington National Cemetery, to commemorate Memorial Day, and then played more than four hours of golf.

He's the best golfer ever. I bet he could beat Tiger Woods.
And he's the smartest man that ever walked the earth.
And he's going to bring about world peace with just a smile (he's just like Mary Tyler Moore in that aspect).

What an effen affirmative-action narcissistic amateur.

Interesting.
Golf on Memorial Day.
I thought he seemed a little hurried putting down the wreath.
Obummer, at least put out a grill and spend some time with the family....golf?
...press will play this as...
-NKorea sets off bomb
-Iran sends unprecedented naval task force into shipping lanes
- Calm, coool Obummer plays golf.

How do you play 18 holes of golf in four hours when every Tee shot results in a Hole In One?

Is Obama seriously our President? Am I having a nightmare? And while he played golf Iran was positioning warships near oil shipping lines and bragging that no one can stop them.

That’s strange. Earlier reports said that the US administration was ‘surprised’ by the nuclear test. Which is it?

You hold a press conference after every hole.
You know, the little people just cling to the news of how his game is going.

Ah! Yes! I forgot he does have a need for that. I wonder if they alternate busing in State Dept. employees and ACORN types to populate the gallery every other time he goes golfing?
