“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” Bush said in an interview with Politico and Yahoo News on May 13, 2008. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

I believe the News Paper Headline is Correcto Mundo, and the volcano story is just a cover!
We have a truly destructive (dare I say Evil) man in the WH IMHO!

Obama skips Polish funeral, heads to golf course -

Washington Times
www.washingtontimes.com

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation’s president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead

Far be it from me to defend 0bama, but, it would be a pity to lose Air Force 1 and its crew to volcanic ash.

The point...Obama could have shown a LITTLE RESPECT by skipping golf! But, we wouldn't want to inconvenience the one by asking him to skip his entertainment for ONE FREAKING DAY.

Obama is about as much a statesman as a whore at Playboy.

Wouldnt it have shown a little bit of class if he had gone to Chicago and attended a memorial mass for the Polish victims at one of the Polish Catholic churches there?

But nooooo...

Mr. Obama has not gone to the Polish Embassy in Washington since the accident..

That says it all. He can't take the time to pay his respects, but he can play golf.

Muslim Marxist pig.

Didn't O-Hole skip a visit to US soldiers in a German hospital when he was told no pics would be allowed? Went to play basket-ball in the gym instead.

He didn’t go.

Did he issue a formal statement, the day of the funeral?

Did he offer any prayers for the people of Poland today, their day of official mourning?

Did he send condolences or sign the condolence book at the Polish Embassy?
