Obama Skips Polish Funeral, Heads To Golf Course -- Washington Times
A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation's president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.
On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio's Mark Knoller.

My Comment: I have no problem with President Obama playing golf. I want my President to be fit, in top shape, and doing activities that will take him away from the pressures of state for a short time so that he would be re-focused later on. But what he should have done yesterday is go to the Polish Embassy and give his condolences, or to a Polish church for Sunday mass .... and then go to the golf course.
The image that he projects and is now being played in Europe gives the impression that he is either out of touch and/or he does not care. In today's troubled world, this is not the image that you want to project.
