This should really be a non-issue.

Was it politically smart for this President who, right or wrong (not a debate we're having here), is generall considered weak on defense and military issues? Probably not. ...but there is no prescident that a sitting President MUST attend the ceremony. They often do, and no President has totally ignored Memorial day. ...but taking a family vacation over the Memorial day weekend when it is already an issue your political opposition beats you over the head with is probably not the best political move.

...but for all the things I fault this President for (and you all know the list is long) this isn't one of them. He attended a Memorial day Ceremony and the Vice President did a wonderful job delivering a great speach on the President's behalf at Arlington.

And you were expecting?

Other possible candidates included: beach, pool, bar with a patio, backyard grilling, backyard drinking, hiking, camping, sailing or some combination of any number of these.

In the end, golf took priority.

Considering Memorial Day is the day to remember those that lost their lives fighting for our freedom, I would hope most people would spend some of the day in rememberance of those men and women that are no longer with us.

Veteran's Day would be more appropriate to thank a veteran for your freedom to make the choice as to how to spend your day off. Just my opinion.

Agree 100%. I am often amazed at how little people know about Memorial Day and what it signifies, and how little they care to know about it other than it's a "day off".

Can't you say that about most holidays?
