Obama's Golfing Ruins Christmas for Marines and their Families

White House

By Ed Morrissey, HotAir.com
 
We’re back for another year of OOTDs, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to skip the candidates from the holidays. Tina Korbe caught the implications of Barack Obama’s 89th and 90th rounds of golf on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day (the 26th) — because when the President takes a day off on the links, it means other people have to work. Over to Melissa Clouthier:
 
    Well, the big deal is that a bunch of Marines had to work–blocking roads and doing other miscellaneous security detail–instead of being home with their families.
 
    Here are some of the comments from the wives of these men. (I am not going to include the link to this page, nor am I going to include names, because I don’t want anyone in trouble. I do, however, have the screen shot and have copy and pasted the comments verbatim.) …
 
    “Because he’s here, I didn’t get to see my husband all weekend, on our baby girl’s first Christmas, so he can have his vacation. So when I can’t get to my house because he wants to play golf it just adds insult to injury and yeah, gets on my nerves. I agree that it’s a sensitive subject for some of us who are more [a]ffected by his being here.” …
 
    I was so angry! They blocked off my driveway… -_-”
 
    “It takes him forever to play too because he isn’t good at it either lol!”
 
Why not spend Christmas Eve with the family?

Post Christmas

It's been good on some days. My sis and I our taking off the pounds which should be easy once the Christmas cookies, cheesecake and wine are gone. I will lose 10 pounds by next week this time with that little subtraction alone.

Christmas brings so many joys and aggravations: lots of joy in Christmas cards (I love those so much) and gift giving from everyone is so thoughtful and generous. Seeing the relatives no matter how much they annoy me is still a special part of the season and all the Christmas Phone calls.

The  2 weeks off of school and my oldest is home from the Army on leave. All my kids are together (4 of them) and so excited to see each other and now they are bored and fighting  with each other at least once a day. Then we are reminded that no matter how far or how long we have been away from each other that it takes a whole couple of hours to feel like no one ever left.
