As Twitchy reported, President Obama swung by the podium this afternoon for a quick presser on the monstrous slaying of journalist James Foley. He didn’t take questions but he had some strong words for ISIS:

Think that sounds like a man who’s tee’d off? You don’t know the half of it:
@jonkarl Is he back at the golf course yet?

@JammieWF Silly question. @jonkarl https://t.co/JvrMrnCdCc

According to WH travel pool w/POTUS, the president arrived at Vineyard Golf Club at 1:05 p.m., following statement on #JamesFoley and #ISIS

Faster than a speeding Titleist!
Ho. Lee. Crap. Elapsed time from Obama statement to golf course: less than 20 minutes?

Less than 20 minutes. "@JeromeEHudson: Obama went RIGHT BACK to the golf course" https://t.co/jjbaHjCsYO

So much for seeing red. He definitely prefers green.
Legitimate question: how does one switch gears so quickly from talking to a nation about a beheading to golfing?

Hey, what can he say? It’s a gift.
Now watch this drive. RT @ZekeJMiller: Pool: after statement Obama headed to the Vineyard Golf Club

Obama is so concerned he managed to make it to the golf course in under 30 minutes. True leadership

Golfing? RT @WhiteHouse: "When people harm Americans anywhere, we do what is necessary to see that justice is done." —President Obama

Apparently Obama will hunt down ISIS' caddy sleeper agents personally.

Dear ISIS: you have no place in the 21st century, or on my putting green. Love, Barack Obama.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) August 20, 2014
We had a good run, kids. But now we have a leader that decides playing golf is acceptable after terrorists murder one of our own.
— Neva Wrann (@pipandbaby) August 20, 2014
Pathetic.
At some point, the reporters traveling with Obama need to stand up as Americans and say GET OFF THE DAMN GOLF COURSE AND DO YOUR JOB.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) August 20, 2014
We won’t hold our breath.
