Obama Goes Golfing on Memorial Day by Keith Koffler on May 30, 2011, 3:03 pm 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. 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. Obama is out with the three younger aides he typically has in tow on his golf excursions, junior White House staffer Ben Finkenbinder, White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, and Energy Department staffer David Katz. In a sign of his determination to play no matter what, Obama is golfing even though it is currently 95 degrees at Fort Belvoir and it “feels like” it’s 98 degrees, according to The Weather Channel.

>> (and an extremely presumptuous person if she is thinking of running) She is certainly no more presumptuous than Barack Obama was this time four years ago. She has more, and more relevant, experience than he did. Of course, we see the mess the election of Obama left us in. Palin at least offers a more sensible ideology. At this critical point in the nation's time, neither of them seems like a good choice. If it going to be a R. against Obama, and it surely is, Romney, Newt, and Rudy all bring more experience and competence than either Obama or Palin could offer.
