Swine Flu and Golf

"President Barack Obama’s administration sought to look both calm and in command, striking a balance between informing Americans without panicking them. Obama himself was playing golf while U.S. officials used a White House news conference to compare the emergency declaration with preparing for an approaching hurricane. " MSNBC.com said this morning in regards to declaring the swine flu an emergency.

That does seem calming doesn't it? I feel much better knowing that the president was not concerned enough to cancel his tee time.

Is MSNBC really trying to put this out there as a good thing? Would you believe Obama went golfing in order for the American public to stay calm knowing he is enjoying a round rather than in the office finding a solution?

We get it, you're a celebrity. Little things like a deadly flu don't matter to you. That's right, stick to what you're good at - smiling for the camera.

Say cheese.
