President Obama’s golf game on Sunday forced a pair of Army captains to move their nuptials to a different location, Bloomberg reports.
Edward Mallue Jr. and Natalie Heimel had planned to tie the knot on the 16th tee at Kaneohe Klipper golf course when management informed them that they would have to wait a day so the president could hit the links.
Kaneohe Klipper is an 18-hole championship course on the military base that offers views of the Ko’olau Mountains and Pacific coastline.
The episode is the second time the president’s golf game has caused a commotion since he began his vacation last week.
Over the weekend, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak had to defend his recent golf outing with the president after being criticized back home.
The Army couple actually invited Obama to their wedding, knowing he would be on the island. However, the president declined the invitation, wishing them happiness.
“It was kind of ironic they got the letter from them and then, within hours, they were told they had to be moved due to him,” Jamie McCarthy, Mallue's sister, told Bloomberg. “It was emotional, especially for her — she’s the bride and in less than 24 hours they had to change everything they had planned.”
The couple instead chose to get hitched on the lawn near the home of the base’s commanding officer.
After Bloomberg asked the White House about the scheduling conflict, Obama phoned the bride.
“He apologized and congratulated them,” McCarthy said.
...or did he give the thumbs down like he did to every American when it came to getting good Healthcare?
Sickening.
Would have never heard the end of it .... twenty years from now they’d still be bringing that up. BTW, does Bush play golf?
And they were aware that there could be a conflict and had made alternative arrangements for the photos. This is a faux story. Sorry.
That is wrong and illegal. The secret service does NOT have the right to do this. A crime has been committed.
Sorry, this action alone eliminates any sympathy I may have had for this couple.
That was my reaction. Obamabots sought to have their wedding defiled so... too bad. Celebrity worship run amok.
And I was just hearing stories in the news about how he met with the Marines on Christmas day. I’m just guessing that screwed up their Christmas quality time too.
Why do we need an 18 hole championship golf course on a military base?
Most people in the military couldn’t afford to play on a civilian golf course in Hawaii. When I was there we also had the best beach (Fort DeRussy).
"Knoller told Yahoo News that in his six years in office, Obama has played 186 rounds of golf so far. Bush, on the other hand, only played 24 rounds of golf. “[Bush] later explained his decision to stop in the fall of 2003 by saying he felt it was not appropriate to be seen golfing while American troops fought in Afghanistan and Iraq,” reports Yahoo News."

Thank you!

So...
O’bozo works for YOU and ME....!
Doesn’t seem to matter, DOES IT???
K, thanks for that.
As a retired Army chaplain, it’s obvious to me that this wasn’t necessary. A sensitive person would have realized that rescheduling a round of golf is no big deal. An already planned wedding is a big deal.
A clear distinction between the 2...
One puts himself above all others, the other, puts others above himself.
Thanks for the post.
President O. is a giant A-hole.
