    Just item #1=“Iraq Genocide” and Obama’s ignoring the plight of Mideast Christians since June 10 ISIS captured Mosul, and mid-July issued an Islamic edict to Christians,“convert, leave or be killed.”-www.usatoday.com has an article, 8/13/14, “Obama’s Inattention to Iraqi Christians” by Kirsten Powers. Printed 3 pages. -The current airstrikes Obama okayed in northern Iraq are to “help” not the Christians, but the Yazidis! And the sending water and food to the stranded and dying Yazidis was brief and may have stopped by this date! Nothing was dropped to help homeless Christians fleeing for their lives! -Kirsten points out that the Bush administration was equally guilty of ignoring nearly a million Christians in distress!She quotes a Chaldean Catholic member of the US House, whose father fled religious persecution in Iraq, and who sees the “lack of understanding” of the oldest Christians in the world being killed off by Jihadists.-We pray God will get Obama’s attention for genuine concern for the 21st century Christian martyrs….of all ages, elderly, children and all between….being beheaded, crucified and killed in as many ways as Satan inspires in his puppets.

    http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=20500-@Hiram B…..I searched for news and this is what turned up:Feb.2014 news items about “scores” and not “thousands”..liberal news labeled the attackers “Christian militias”….and most news reports the opposite, that Muslims are killing Christians in many African countries, burning churches and killing or kidnapping Christian children for slavery to Muslims!-I found nothing to confirm your post’s allegations.

    At An Khe Viet Nam, we in the First Cav had our “golf course”, it was the flight line, where all the mortar and rocket rounds kept landing, lots of holes. The constant attacks on Obama, from all sides now, remind me of that.

    Dead Muslims in Gaza (and some Christians too) aren’t a genocide, but rescuing those minorities in Iraq IS happening, and it’s Obama’s “fault” they’re being rescued?

    Syria still sucks, but with the help of allies supporting Obama, the chemical weapons are being removed, and that’s a “fail”?

    Hundreds of thousand dead under "W"s watch, THAT is failure, and cutting brush in Texas while those fires burned, was far dumber than catching an occasional game of golf. Enough with stupid false metaphors, please, ’toonists??

    What’s with the Obama golf meme again? Do conservatives think this means anything? He plays golf less than any previous president. It’s the house of representatives that’s taking the unprecedented level of vacations.

    Congress isn’t responsible for having a consistent foreign policy. The world doesn’t go on vacation and we need a president who is able to make informed decisions and swiftly respond to world events. A president can do that from vacation, but should always be conscious of appearances.

    Again, I personally do not have a problem with the President playing golf, so long as he is able to keep up on events and respond to them. I have every reason to believe that President George W. Bush was careful to stay partially “on the job” during his vacation time based on the speed with which he responded to world events and the attention he gave to them. It is also significant that George W. Bush made a conscious decision to stop playing golf partway into his term of office in order to avoid giving the false impression of disengagement.
