Joe Scarborough has developed a novel defense of President Obama's decision to continue golfing while ISIS continues its murderous rampage across the Middle East, including its recent beheading of American James Foley. On today's Morning Joe Scarborough claimed that Obama's golf sends a tough, "screw you" message to the terrorists.
Can anyone watch the photos of President Obama joking around with his buddies on the course and think this reflects anything other than a checked-out Commander-in-Chief? Does Scarborough really think that watching Obama hack his way around the links sends a shiver down the spine of ISIS terrorists as they hack off the heads of innocent Americans?

I remember when Scarborough was a frequent guest on the old “Hannity and Colmes” show, during the 2000 election mess. He actually came off as a conservative. There was one night when he royally scolded some nutcase leftwing politician and sent the guy into a screaming fit.
Now Joe is just a moronic tool of the left.
I think this type of thing has been happening ALL the time. We just never really heard about it because the press was always defending Obama and putting him in the best possible light. His handlers just got used to it.
But this was one of THEM that was beheaded and they're pissed that Obama's not doing anything about it...this is a shot across the bow to Obama.
OK. But why do you think Obama spends so much time golfing? I understand that you are mad at him. I’m mad at him, too. There are plenty of people who think that Obama is just chicken and lazy and that’s why he goes golfing. They may be right. I learned a hard lesson from Bill Clinton’s time as President. Al Gore was asked about Clinton’s success in politics. He said something like,
“When you or I see a car wreck, we think ‘How awful!’ and run to see if we can help. Bill Clinton sees a car wreck and thinks ‘ How can I get a political advantage from this?’ That’s why he wins.”
I think this way of looking at the world has been drummed into the heads of the Democrat Party leaders. I think that they do EVERYTHING with an eye to getting political advantage. I think this golfing, and the willingness to reveal it, has a political purpose.
You could very well be right.
Yeah, he watches a guy get his head hacked off and makes a limp wrist statement and plays a game he has no business playing. Bet he hasn’t broke 80 w/o mulligans in his life.
Pray America wakes up
Fair enough. I guess I can see that perspective though I don’t agree with it.
