I have no problem with President Obama not flying to Poland because of the volcanic ash situation.  I won’t claim to be a scientist on the matter like Al Gore would, won’t claim to say the ash cloud wouldn’t affect an airplane, and wouldn’t say missing the funeral because of the situation is thumbing his nose yet again at our allies.  However, there is one aspect to this story that I take issue with very seriously.

Evidently, President Obama decided it was a good time to play some golf.  Cancel attending an ally’s funeral, play some golf.  Seems fitting, right?  I mean, we wouldn’t want to show any signs of solidarity or anything with one of our allies in a troubling area of the world when they bury their leader.  Hell, he couldn’t even make it to the Polish Embassy to sign a book offering condolences.  When you have a President (and an entire Democrat party) that is always worried about our “image” to the world, how does all of this look?

Anytime President Bush stepped foot on a golf course, went to Crawford for a weekend, or even went for a bike ride we had to hear about how “insensitive” he was that he was playing golf/enjoying himself while our soldiers were at war.  We also heard these ridiculous things like Bush was on vacation 70% of the time that he was President.  Now, Obama has played his 32nd round of golf since his occupation of the White House.  I’m lucky if I get out six times a year, and I don’t have a country to run.  Bush, on the other hand, played 24 times in eight years, and stopped playing in 2003 when he received word of an attack.

A classless act by a classless man.  I suppose asking when the outrage from the Bush critics is coming will be pointless.
