Presidential Golfing

This week, President Bush gave an interview to politico.com’s Mike Allen. And at one point, Allen noted that the president had not been playing golf in recent years and asked him whether that was related to the war in Iraq. President Bush had stopped playing in 2003.

President GEORGE W. BUSH: Yeah, it really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as, you know, to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think, you know, playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.
