He gave it up direcly because of the criticism. Call it what you will. I don't care one way or the other as I said. What's fair is fair. I'll say it again. Golf is a decadent sport and any Prez who's out there all smilin' and jiving with his buddies while our soldiers are dying can't get enough criticism. Looks like Obama has had no reporter yet film him and ask him about the guys getting blown away while he's on the links. Why is that? This damn "sport" should off-limits for any Prez. Hell, even playing poker while drinking scotch looks better. Or bowling with a beer on the scorecard. Golf is just plain silly, and makes anybody look silly. There, I said it. Just what I think. --Vic |

Right-wing warmongers don't give a damn about casualties. All they care about is the projection of military force, no matter how ill-advised or inappropriate. Further, what the righties want is for Obama to find himself in the same morass Bush himself into. These right-wing scumbags have an agenda, but it isn't "let's do what is good for america." All of which is pretty shocking. It's a scary day when Newt is the voice of reason in the party. Newt has turned into an appeaser. |

As for myself, I want less casualties brought about by a decision by the potus. That doesn't seem to be something that BO can accomplish... too busy playing golf and campaigning. |

Heh - oh yeah - always an excuse. *"The Vietcong won't attack - it's TET". Seem like I heard that one before - twice. Heh.. they are hardened fighters and terrorists, but some cold weather shuts them down. Uh-huh. Good thing we got a mini ice age on the way... that'll exterminate all the terrorist! |

I sincerely hope the Republican party can figure out where they should go. If it's more toward a slightly right of center position, it'll survive. If it continues toward the extreme right, it will end up in an unrecoverable minority position. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I think you mean fewer causualties. We all want that. I take that on faith. As to the rest, it sounds like a right-wing rant. -- Nom=de=Plume |
