Of course, no matter what you think of the optics of golfing on Memorial Day, nothing Obama did today could beat George W. Bush's strange round of golf on Aug. 4, 2002. Unlike Obama, Bush brought the press pool out on the course with him. A suicide bomber had killed nine people overnight in Israel, and Bush wanted to make a statement about it. "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers," he said. Then he turned away from the cameras and got down to business. "Thank you," Bush said. "Now watch this drive."
You, too, can watch that drive below...
