Yeah? When did he say that? Must have been during one of the 960+ vacation days he took.

Bush Says He's Not A Golfer In Wartime

President Bush said yesterday that he gave up golfing in 2003 "in solidarity" with the families of soldiers who were dying in Iraq, concluding that it was "just not worth it anymore" to play the sport in a time of war.

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," Bush said in a White House interview with the Politico. "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."

Let me answer my own question to you.
Obama has played 41 rounds of golf or 200+hours. Those numbers are as of July 16th.

And to think I gave you credit for having a 70+ IQ.

WTF? If I go it will be epic. I am talking about standing on the walls with a baseball bat knocking mortars back at the Taliban; epic. Don't hate, most everyone in the military wants the same job I had/going back to.

Too much money? HUH? What would it take for you to spend 6 years over there? (Disclaimer: not on orders)

I was joking, Americans already owe you more than you can imagine for your service to the country. Only reason I never joined is I have a problem of falling apart. By the time I was 18 I needed surgery on a knee, shoulder, hand, hip, and chest.

I am all for private contractors and whatever you can get paid you earn every penny

I gotcha. Maybe mine was a little stronger worded than I intended. If it helps I did do my 4yrs of active duty Marines first.

Camp David, Texas ranch, Colorado and where ever else he felt like going. He has logged more hours in air force one than any other president.

Bush's golf claim angers veterans
Ed Pilkington in New YorkThe Guardian, Thu 15 May 2008

George Bush has angered US war veterans by declaring that out of solidarity with those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq he decided to make his own sacrifice: giving up golf.In an interview with the Politico website, the president said he took the decision because of the war. "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 in solidarity. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

Brandon Friedman, a veteran US infantry officer who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, told the Press Association: "Thousands of Americans have given up a lot more than golf for this war. For President Bush to imply that he somehow stands in solidarity with families of American soldiers by giving up golf is disgraceful. It's an insult to all Americans and a slap in the face to our troops' families."Friedman, who is vice chairman of the US veterans' organisation VoteVets, added: "It shows how disconnected he is from everyday Americans, especially those who are serving in Iraq."

Bush said he laid down his clubs after the August 2003 bombing of United Nations offices in Baghdad that killed the UN's top official in the country, Sergio Vieira de Mello. "I remember when de Mello got killed as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life. I was playing golf - I think in central Texas - and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, 'It's just not worth it any more'."

According to a database held by CBS News the statement is not entirely accurate. He did cut short a round of golf at the 12th hole on that day, but his last recorded game came two months later, October 13.

Point was that Bush gave up golf to focus on the wars. Obama is playing every chance he can get.

[RCITNet]

Really? Golf is occupying so much off his time that he can't focus on other things?

Do you even understand what you're saying? Hey I'm going to send you guys over there to get shot and to show you just how much I understand and care I'm going to quit golfing. My quitting golf is the equivalent of what you fine soldiers are doing over there.

So what you're saying is that with more troops dying under Obama in Afghanistan than the entire Bush presidency, Obama refusing to give up even golf is more of the finger to the troops. I agree.

Quick question. Which of the two actually served in the Military?

Now that IS a good question. Another would be, we know Bush's grades, what were Obama's?
