FORE!
Score? And seven trillion rounds ago, our forecaddies brought forth on
this continent a new playground, conceived by Robert Trent Jones, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal when it
comes to spending as much time on the links as possible — even when it
seems totally inappropriate, like moments after making a solemn
statement condemning the grisly murder of a 40-year-old American
journalist beheaded by ISIL.
I
know reporters didn’t get a chance to ask questions, but I had to
bounce. I had a 1 p.m. tee time at Vineyard Golf Club with Alonzo
Mourning and a part-owner of the Boston Celtics. Hillary and I agreed
when we partied with Vernon Jordan up here, hanging out with celebrities
and rich folks is fun.
Now
we are engaged in a great civil divide in Ferguson, which does not even
have a golf course, and that’s why I had a “logistical” issue with
going there. We are testing whether that community, or any community so
conceived and so dedicated, can long endure when the nation’s leader
wants nothing more than to sink a birdie putt.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
