Our fearless commander-in-chief has recently let Americans know just how dedicated he is to the war is Iraq, he's given up golf. W said in an interview with Politico and Yahoo! News,
"I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal... 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 in solidarity as best as I can with them."
According to CBS News, the Presidents last golf game was on October 13, 2003. Wow, 4 1/2 years of no golf... what a sacrifice. I'm sure our soldiers in Iraq are pleased to hear that. While they lose friends, limbs, and even their own lives, I'm sure it helps them sleep at night knowing the man who sent them there is not out enjoying a golf game.
You can watch the interview here, from today's Daily Show. (Start it at about 1.40) Jon Stewart's commentary is priceless, as usual.
