And I, for one, am just awed at our Commander In Chief's sacrifice. The man gave up GOLF out of respect for the families of soldiers fighting our (pointless) war in the Middle East. And this isn't just some measly 40-day sacrifice for Lent. W hasn't golfed since 2003!!!!
This really makes me feel like a horrible person. I haven't given up ANYTHING meaningless out of respect for the troops and their families.

Keith Olbermann just did a 10-minute rant on him about that interview.There was a lot more to it than just his giving up golf.It was all about him taking us into the war under false pretenses.He ripped him up one side and down the other…probably worse than he’s ever ripped up anyone.Then, at the end he showed Bush playing golf on October 13, 2003.That was after the date he said he gave it up.Olbermann is repeated at 10PM, I think, in case anyone wants to see it.It’s in the last 10 minutes of his show.

Message: The WORST part of this? That his handlers had to TELL him to quit golf!! The Main Stream Media didn't complete the whole story in my newspaper - but thankfully the whole thing is available on the "internets" - and Dumbo said he was "pulled off the golf course" and THEN said it just wasn't worth it anymore......How long oh lord how long......

Message: If he wanted to help the country/or showed respect for our troops......... by giving up something...she should have given up the Office of the Presidency......that would have been a sacrifice we ALL would have been able to enjoy!
