But then he...
...went for several rounds of golf at Fort Belvoir. It was not even reported in the liberal American news media, but only discussed briefly in a blog by veteran White House correspondent Keith Koffler:
The business of memorializing our war dead done, President Obama headed out to the Fort Belvoir golf course today, finding his way onto the links for the ninth weekend in a row.
Obama earlier today laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and met with families of those killed in battle. But he emerged from the day’s solemnity to go golfing for the 12th time this year and the 70th time of his presidency.
What possessed the president? Sheer nonchalance in regards to the wars and the soldiers there involved and those who died for their country (or some oil barons or, more likely, a combination of both)? Does he care? Does he even care about politics, doing something so reminiscent of his predecessor whom he openly condemns time and time again? Now, does he think, since he has performed a summary execution of bin Laden that the next presidential term is locked in for him? Is he now, in his mind, so sheerly above it all that he has lost his mind, his concept of reality, and his place in the world? Does he truly think he is the new master of the universe? The greatest man in history? The 21st century's edition of Abraham Lincoln, to whom he so coyly compared himself in his 2008 election victory speech?The decision to golf on Memorial Day invites comparison with President George W. Bush, who gave up the game early in his presidency and said he did it out of respect for the families of those killed in Iraq.
No, he is a community organizer on steroids, a renegade against the person he promised to be in his first presidential campaign, an establishment puppet, an establishment pawn. It is clear for all to see, Mr. Obama has compromised his soul in succumbing to what Henry Kissinger called the greatest aphrodisiac of all - power.
