GOOD GOLF

So, minutes after meeting in the White House with key government officials and announcing his decision to ask Congress for its approval to attack Syria, Obama (and  Biden) went golfing.

I applaud the Prez and VP for sending a clear signal to the dictatorial Syrian regime and to the world that Americans will not stand idly by when scores of youngsters are permanently denied the opportunity to ever play this wonderful game. 

One thought:  Why not have O and B go to Jordan right near the Syrian border, and loft some golf balls over into Syria...maybe for a day or two?  That would send an even clearer signal of what we are ready to do when evil regimes don't play ball with us.

And the public's voice should be heard.  A recent poll indicates 68% of the American people do not think the Prez and VP should yell "Fore" to warn the Syrians of the incoming golf balls.

Agreed.
