WASHINGTON --

Golf shoes in the Oval Office could have been a clue.

President Barack Obama usually goes to the residence quarters of the White House after putting in a few weekend hours on the links. But he made an unusual beeline for his West Wing office last Sunday that raised eyebrows only in retrospect.

He was headed for a top-secret meeting to review final preparations for a military operation he'd approved two days earlier, the one involving a raid by Navy SEALs that would end with the death of Osama bin Laden, one of the world's most hunted men.

So it was unusual that Zero didn't play golf?

I'm so glad that the press treated Dubya the same way...

What bothers me is that he *did* go golfing, when he knew the troops were on their way to carry out this mission. He just cut it short to be there for the grand finale. Detached and careless of troops being in harm’s way, as usual.

The other clues were VP Bite Me was awake, normally he is taking a nap. Also, when going from chopper to WH, Hillary zig zagged her steps, dodging imaginary bullets.

exactly.

guess the kill order did not impact him enough to stay close to home.

What to do on a Sunday? Go to church? Nah. GOLFING? That's the ticket-nothings going to interfere with that.

Everyone in dress shirts or jackets-obama, well, just off play time, grabbed a hoodie and hid his shoes.

Even Hitlery looked better. And that is sayin sumthin!

Pathetic description of Barry’s schedule to make it look as if he had something to do with Osama’s demise.

The more I read it the more it seems that Barry was called back from the golf course so that he could see what the CIA/Generals were preparing to do since he couldn’t make a decision about it.

Don't let it bother you because according to this AP sycophant who is running a strong campaign for the 2011 Nina Burleigh kneepads award, Obamao showed once again that he has powers beyond any mortal:
In a remarkable 72 hours of his presidency, Obama carried around a momentous secret and gave no hint of it as he went about his duties consoling tornado victims, delivering a college commencement address and cracking jokes at a black-tie dinner.
Mt. Rushmore best prepare for a fifth.

Bush 1’s re-election was a done deal after Desert Storm

Yeah what a kneepadder this Darlene is. Wow like every president isn't involved on grave decisions one minute and then gladhanding citizens or visiting disasters, etc. the next minute.

And he gets credit for "only" playing 9 holes when Bush would have been ripped for even being near a golf course.

This is in no way to defend 0, but looking like everything is 'normal' is a way to avoid giving anyone a tipoff that something big is coming soon. The fact that the W & K did not leave for their honeymoon trip and the mild buzz about a raised military alert were enough to get people talking.

And yet George Bush was a dolt and a coward when, on 9/11, he maintained his composure to avoid frightening the children he was reading to.

No I think it is unusual if he actually does any work. Gee I wonder how many people work on the weekends many I assure you. I thought I had heard before from the media that Obama was always working. Obama is a fraud I mean a lazy fraud
