I was so inspired when I read the headline. I felt this overwhelming sense of American pride rush over me.
I thought to myself, I said, "self, my President, OUR PRESIDENT, has quit golf in honor of our soldiers!", and I began to feel the need to make my
own sacrifice as well.
But then I read what DD posted...
It was all just a sham; a fraud; a lie. My President, OUR PRESIDENT, has actually lied to us.
I'm still stunned. I'm in disbelief. The optimism that I was met with when I opened this thread; the thought that maybe, just maybe, everything
would be OK because our President gave up golf, has been replaced by pessimism.
It seems his sacrifice of golf is no more impressive than his sacrifice during his time in the military.
