President Bush Gives Up Golf in Solidarity with U.S. Troops in Iraq
In a revealing interview with media outlets Politico and Yahoo! News, the Associated Press is revealing that President Bush has given up golf as a way of standing in solidarity with soldiers in Iraq.
In his interview, Bush is quoted as saying, “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
So our commander in chief wants us to know that he’s making sacrifices, too? He’s not sending one of his kids to the front line or anything, but it’s a sacrifice nonetheless. No word on whether Bush will also be giving up fishing and horseshoes with Dad, downing cold brews with those crazy kids Jenna and Henry, or giving up reading celebrity gossip blogs in the morning before his daily security briefing.
Life as president must be tough.
