President Barack Obama reacted to the on-camera slaying of photojournalist James Foley for five minutes on Wednesday, telling a global audience that 'when people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.'
Minutes later he began a five-hour round at Farm Neck Golf Course on Martha's Vineyard for his seventh visit to the links, so far, during a vacation that began August 9.
The decision brought a chorus of condemnation from TV commentators, journalists, conservative partisans and Twitter denizens – and even an unintentional slap from the left-leaning New York Times.
Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters could hardly contain his anger Wednesday night on the Fox News Channel as he discussed Obama's reactions to the ISIS terror network's beheading of Foley, an American who had been missing since 2012.

If you had Michelle to go back to, you would take a long time, too.
A full blown golf outing for 1 foursome...
I used to play in the rain so I didn't have to be home and hear my wife screaming at the kids for petty house keeping rules violations.
See US NEWS - he doesn’t care about you either...
Those of us that didn’t vote for him knew this...
The people of Chicago just found out last month...
...and now the Press Corp knows this...it’s all about him
Well, it is absolutely typical of Bush's nature, and in this case, I believe he was right.
However, I cannot forgive him for all the kinds he kept his mouth shut when he was President, instead of responding to the outrageous accusations of the left.
I felt very betrayed by that, because it felt like he left our nation absolutely defenseless against the leftist propaganda that ultimately brought us to the point we're at now.
Holly Hills Country Club near Fredrick, MD is where GHWB used to play when he was president. His foursome was made up of Secret Service Agents, each player had his own cart and they played an entire 18 holes in less than 2 hours. Their fasted round was 1 hour 45 minutes. There used to be a sign posted near the 1st tee stating that. It might still be there. Shortly after Clinton took office, one of his top aides decided to take his own buddies up there for a round...in Marine Corp One(or whatever it’s called when the president isn’t on board). While they were on the course, Holly Hills called and allowed the press to come in and film these idiots getting back on board the helicopter. The top aide was fired a few days later for joy riding in the president’s aircraft.
Thanks Dad.
Doesn’t he have any white friends?
I agree, and wonder is this is some aspect of our Judeo Christian upbringing.
Nine rounds of golf in less than two weeks while the world goes up in flames? How much more blatantly can he say I don't give a sh*t?
They all look gay as Christmas trees!
“King Putt, presiding over his minions.”
Save that one for posterity. Very creative.
I’ll add mine. “Beheading tees him off”.
You WIN: Post of the day
President Bush knows that the president has to remain presidential. However, he could have have some cabinet members or spokesperson out there fighting.
He didn’t want to have to deal with reporters, dead or alive, so he left after the speech and stayed busy until bed time.
Talk about your disproportionate foursome. Don’t be complainin bout lack of the black on the Ferguson PD.
