President Obama showed it was more important to play yet another round with well-connected elites, as the nation grieves and families suffer. The disconnect could not be more profound. When two-star Major General Harold Greene, the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam, was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery neither the President nor the Vice President were present.
The nominal Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was playing a roundat the Vineyard Golf Club and the clownish Joe Biden was in themiddle of the third day of a week long vacation in the Hamptons.
While America has lost a two-star General who has served in a war the president has waged questionably, the Commander-in-Chief could not show the common decency to honor him with his presence.
