Ten Years Later: A Tribute 9/11
My favorite 9/11 tribute in New York City can be found in Bryant Park. 2,819 empty chairs on the lawn facing the site where the World Trade Center once stood, one chair for every life lost. The number of empty chairs captures the enormity of the lives lost and the stark emptiness of it just drives home the point that I hope is never forgotten. 2,819 people were here one moment and gone the next. 2,819 went to work or boarded a plane one morning ten years ago thinking it would be another ordinary day and they never came home.
Happy 4th of July!
Remember the sacrifices made by our service members, past and present, to ensure and defend our freedom.
So proud to be an American.
Obama Spends Saturday Hammering Out Debt Deal With GOP … Just Kidding, He Went Golfing For The 13th Weekend In A Row…
President Obama hit the links today, making it 13 weekends in a row that he’s gone golfing.
As some of you speculated, with Michelle on safari in Africa, golf was pretty much a lock this weekend.
From the pool report:
He’s wearing light brown slacks, a black golf shirt, hip Blackberry, iPad and some reading material, and no hat. Golfing with Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, Press Aide Ben Finkenbinder, and former campaign photographer David Katz.
For those of you playing along at home, this is the 16th time Obama has golfed this year and the 74th outing of his presidency.

Maybe we should cut him some slack, he deserves a break after a grueling week of fundraising

Better to have him on the golf course than in the White House.
