I got news of this from a friend and searched for it here, in the drive by media, etc. and it seems that it is not being reported anywhere and that is understandable as it would embarass the Messiah. I did find a thread here in Freerepublic that trashed Tiger pretty badly before he gave the speech and then the very last post of that thread gave the complete text of the speech but it was on page 2 and most likely not seen by most of the folks that trashed Tiger earlier as there were no posts following it.

This needs to see the light of day. Tiger gave a speech that was hugely supportive of our military and never once mentioned the Messiah or even the inauguration.

Editor’s note: Below is the speech Tiger Woods gave on Sunday, Jan. 18, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. during the festivities for the presidential inauguration. It was originally printed on www.tigerwoods.com.

I grew up in a military family — and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods.

My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.

Each day — and particularly on this historic day — we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for them to come home safely.

I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional life as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament to those unsung heroes. I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family and the military, and I am a better person for it.

In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man whose memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said:

“I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.”

Just as they have stood tall for our country — we must always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families.

Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the U.S. Naval Glee Club.

He’s a golfer.

Q. How does a golfer’s opinion on anything other than golfing matter at all?

A. It doesn’t.

God bless him for focusing on our brave
military.

He’d make a better Pres than Obama - he’s succeeded in his life without stepping on the backs of others and I’ll bet has an excellent grasp of free market economics.

Golf is no substitute for History, philosophy, logic, and reason.

Talent in one area does not translate into competency in another. If anything, a celebrity’s life is a distortion of reality. I’m sick of this sort of foolishness. Odds are that The farmer ten miles down the road has a better grip on real life.

America’s obsession with celebrity is a mental illness.
