Bush: “I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal”

posted by Susan Johnson | 7:19am Wednesday May 14, 2008

Is there any wonder this guy’s favorables are in the toilet? He quit playing golf??? How out of touch can you be? Let’s just crown Obama and get Bush off the stage, he’s done.

US President George W. Bush said in an interview out Tuesday that he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of US soldiers killed in the conflict in Iraq, now in its sixth year.
“I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal,” he said in an interview for Yahoo! News and Politico magazine.
“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.”

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

If he really wanted to do something to respect those killed, he’d get the US out of Iraq. But he just won’t admit he’s wrong…..

Bush’s daughter married a man. He also does not think soldiers are idiots and losers that can’t make it through school. Obama will have us all learning arabic before his term in office is over. I have an honorable discharge and find this President far more appealing than anything the democrats represent. Of course, that isn’t saying a whole lot looking over the current crop of traitors and cowards making up the democrat political representation. They are still partying with whorish actors in Hollywood, teaching our kids in college how to use oil the porn way, and drooling over how much money they can take away from hard-working Americans once their messiah takes office.

You have to love it when the Moonie Times, with the New Messiah of the World at its head, tries to “clear away” all those nasty rumors by showing how effective they have been.

JW: What do you think of George W. Bush as the Christian president?
FS: He is arguably the worst president in the history of the United States. He is unfit for the office of president of the United States. He has trouble speaking the English language and articulating a point of view. Second, he has led us into a war—in which my son, by the way, fought—on false pretenses. That is a terrible thing. Bush is personally responsible for the displacement of the Christian minority in Iraq. It was the last large Christian minority anywhere in the Middle East, and it has been destroyed. It is ironic that someone who proclaims he is a Christian president has single-handedly started a war that has undone the last Christian minority in the Middle East. Now it is wall-to-wall Islam from Tehran all the way to the Mediterranean with the exception of Israel. There is not one place outside of Syria that still has that intact Christian minority now.
