It’s been a long time since President Obama drew that red line in Syria, and while millions of Americans are marching (and rioting) in the streets at home over the result of a free election, the flotilla of Russian warships that passed through the English Channel in October just arrived at its destination off the coast of Syria.

Sounds like a good time to hit the golf course. Better yet, why not hit the golf course, and then head overseas for six days?
On this sunny and cool Saturday, 49°, Pres Obama has arrived at @JBA_NAFW for a round of golf.

Pres Obama back at WH after 5 hours at golf course. Leaves Monday evening on trip to Greece, Germany & Peru (APEC).

The Associated Press reports that the trip “was imagined as a goodbye tour and a chance to bolster support for Obama’s agreements on Iran’s nuclear program, trade and climate change” — all agreements he expected Hillary Clinton to keep in place.
