Those of Polish decent seem to understand. Those who are not, but have a connection to someone who is, seem to understand. Those who do not have no great understanding at all. Apparently, anyone who questions Obama's decision to go golfing rather than show some public sign of sympathy or grief is challenging all of democracy.
I am not saying the man should have spent the entire day on his knees praying. Hell, even after a whole year of living in the White House, he can't even decide what church he should belong to. But, he should have used some respect towards a whole nation that was spending the day watching their President being interred.
Like I said elsewhere.....
I used to golf. I've got no problem with the President being a golfer. The fact that he disrespected the memory of 96 Poles is what has me upset.
"Well, I can't get to the funeral, so what else should I do? Go to a Polish church and attend mass?....No....Maybe head over to the Embassy and convey my sorrow....NAW.....Invite some of Poland's representatives, like the Embassador or UN Delegate to a solemn ceremony here at the White House.....NOPE.....I've got it! Let's go play golf! That's just like showing grief, right? Denial is one of the Seven Steps of Grief, isn't it?"
PUTZ!
