Obama's Golfing Ruins Christmas for Marines and their Families
Fire it up

White House

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?
