George Bush recently said he gave up golf in 2003 because it wouldn’t “look right” while we are at war to have the President playing golf.
In an interview with the political newspaper Politico and Yahoo News, Bush also said he gave up golf in 2003 out of respect for U.S. soldiers killed in the war, which has now lasted more than five years.
“I didn’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.”
Continuing a perpetual war while more and more American soldiers die kind of sends the wrong signal too Mr. Bush. Take a lesson from Ron Paul and bring them home. At least then you can play golf with a clear conscience. No wonder John McCain wants Bush as far away from his campaign as possible.
