Bush Says Gave Up Golf In Respect For Those Who Serve
Yeah - I remember it well. I remember all the freaking libs and the damn media ripping President Bush to shreds for “Playing golf when OUR soldiers were dying in Iraq” comments.
He had every right in the world to continue to golf….
What the fucking media and the fucking libs didn’t understand is that OUR troops fight so WE CAN live FREE to do the things that WE AMERICANS ENJOY! Including the President.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of Americans killed in the war in Iraq.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf,” Bush said in an interview with Yahoo and Politico.com.
“I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal,” he said.
Bush said his last round of golf was in August 2003 when he was informed that a truck bomb had wrecked the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, killing 22 people, including U.N. envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.
“They pulled me off the golf course and I said, it’s just not worth it anymore to do,” Bush said.
