UK’s the Daily Mail is less than pleased that president elect Obama hasn’t spoken up about the current situation in Gaza, opting instead to relax by playing some golf in Hawaii.

“He was greeted by applause when he walked up to the 18th green – and then, motioning for them to be quiet by putting a finger to his lips, finished with a 20-yard putt.

‘That was pretty good, right?’ he said to more cheers as he went to meet his fans.

It was Mr Obama’s third visit to the Mid Pacific Country Club course in Kalilua while on holiday.

But he may not be able to remain tight-lipped about Gaza for too long.”

Frankly, he’s not the president yet so I think Obama is deserving of some slack on this. He’d better be careful though. The press is notoriously cranky when it comes to presidents and golf. It’s just a matter of time before people at the HuffPo will start treating him like they treated George W. Bush back in May when he revealed that he gave up golf because of the war.

Actually, he didn’t give up golf! He lied! Bush lied! (pant pant pant) Bush LIED ABOUT GIVING UP GOLF!!!!!
