Give it a rest

I have to admit I was a little irritated at some members of the conservative media for their crticism of President Obama "sneaking off" to play golf on Memorial Day. The President presided over an appropriate ceremony in the morning, said all the right things, and then went and did what 10 million other people probably did on a beautiful spring holiday, including, I would guess, plenty of conservatives. I got sick to death of hearing President Bush criticized over this kind of petty bullcrap by the liberal media, and the conservative media is only destroying their own credibility when they behave in the same manner. Even the President deserves to be able to play a round of golf on a national holiday, be he Democrat or Republican.

I do hope and pray that, while enjoying the race and the barbeques and the golf and whatever else folks chose to do with their day, they took some time to reflect on the true meaning of the day and to give thanks to the heros who have made our freedoms possible.
