Bush: I Gave Up Golf For The Troops
Bush: I Gave Up Golf For The Troops
“I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” picked by 2manyusernames 2 months ago

How noble of him.

Since he gave up golf, I wonder what he does during all the time he spends at the Texas "farm".

This is one of those, "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't moments," that haters love to jump on.

If he played golf... people would be upset that he wasn't taking things seriously.

Now he says he doesn't... and people think the sacrifice isn't enough.


But that's the way things are, I guess... the haters keep on hating, but accomplish very little.

The golf BS has the usual Bush spin.

The Baghdad incident he speaks of happened in August. He didn't stop playig golf for several months and his last round was in October.

This might be explained by the apparent time it takes for an impulse to make it's way into one of his brain synapses but I will believe, to the delight of all the knee jerk Bush defenders, with no further factual evidence, that he was lying as usual.
