What Is This Man's Malfunction...???
Tell me that this moron isn't deliberately trying to create enemies of friends...
Seriously...!?!?
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.
Are you frigg'n kidding me...?!?!
On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes.
(*BLOOD PRESSURE RISING*)
(*MIGRAINE HEADACHE COMING ON*)
After canceling the Poland trip on Saturday, the White House announced that Mr. Obama had no public schedule for Sunday. He was to have arrived in Krakow in the morning, attend the 2 p.m. funeral and leave for home by 5 p.m., arriving back at the White House after midnight.
Mr. Obama has not gone to the Polish Embassy in Washington since the accident, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. both have. There, they signed a condolence book.
So let me get this straight...
(*PAUSE*)
Assuming the journey to Poland would have taken nine hours there and nine hours back...
(That's 18 hours...)
...and the original plan was to dedicate three hours (2 p.m - 5 p.m.) to the actual funeral itself...
(18 + 3 = 21)
This dumb son of...
(*GRITTING MY TEETH*) (*BITING MY TONGUE*)
Our President couldn't be satisfied with "saving" the 18 hours of flight time and dedicating the same three hours he would have spent at the funeral in Poland to spending that same time at the Polish Embassy in Washington in symbolic solidarity with the mourning of the Polish People...???
No...??? No...?!?!
Instead he went... golfing...?!?!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN...?!?!

Heads-of-state don't go to embassies. That's what diplomats do. The diplomats did. It's protocol. Get over it.
In a sense, Rob, you've stumbled upon the point; Obama should have broken protocol in order to make the statement that he truly stood in solidarity with the Polish People.
(Oh... and btw... I'm guessing a bit of research would show that past president have indeed gone to foreign embassies in the past to personally sign their condolence book.)

While Prime Minister Brown is the Head of Government of the UK, not the Head of State, I'm guessing that his gesture was appreciated by the People of Poland.
It showed class as well as respect.
Yes, Obama is our Head of State... however he's also our Head of Government.
Heading to the Polish Embassy instead of the golf course on that particular day at that particular time was the action of...
(*BITING MY TONGUE AGAIN*)
Obama is an ass.

Oh... btw... here ya go, Rob:

Question: Does it ever bother you how often you're simply factually wrong, Rob...???

Just in case you're thinking of posting some idiotic statement saying that signing a condolence book for "the People" effected by a natural disaster "doesn't count" since the issue is one of honoring the passing of an individual (plus his entourage).

God, you're right. That's it. I'm joining a militia. N**ger don't let the sun set on you here!
ROB WROTE...
"God, you're right."
Oh, Rob... (*MODEST SELF-DEPRECIATING LAUGH*)... no need to address me as "God."
"Sir" or simply "My Lord" will do nicely!
(*GRIN*)
On a serious note... I know that to you "being right" doesn't necessarily matter.
(*SHRUG*)
Hey... you're not alone!
That's why while I'm neither the most religious man on earth nor do I hunt, I'll stick with those who "cling to their guns and bibles" vs. those who "cling to ignorance and undeserved self-regard."
