The president, on vacation in Hawaii with his family, called NYPD commissioner William Bratton today to express his condolences at the loss of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos who were murdered in NYC on Saturday reportedly as retaliation for the death of Eric Garner:

Interesting that Pres Obama today called NY Police Cmsr William Bratton, not Mayor De Blasio, to express condolences about slain cops

And then the president did exactly what we’ve come to expect him to do … Fore!

Obama vacation day 2: phone call to NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton, golf with friends and aides at Marine Corps Base Hawaii

Unbelievable.
@cnnbrk @CNN Is Obama going to attend the funeral? Or send 3 WH aides? I'm sure the golf course is more important.

Good question. The above refers to the three representatives Team Obama sent to the Michael Brown funeral. How many will he send to these funerals?
Sad repeat: atty Preston Heard in Obama golf foursome today, as he was the day after prior assassination event (American James Foley).

What would it take for Obama to put down his golf clubs and be a leader? #NYPDLivesMatter

Oh, the world is going to shit? Think I will play golf- Obama

Every time Fox News talks about Obama they mention that he's playing golf. Like cool??
— Lindsay Scribner (@ScribnerLindsay) December 21, 2014
Maybe because he plays a lot of golf? As in, it’s a fact:
More golf for Obama on second day of vacation http://t.co/prWErBU5Ch
