I've finally lost a little respect for Tiger

You want your house Negros to perform for you, but don’t want them to express opinions.

…This administration has been fairly clear that they do not like or respect our Military, and they have no problem putting our amed services under the control of the UN…the same UN that had Saddam Hussein sign surrender papers allowing the UN complete access to anything and everything Iraqi – then gave Saddam 12 years to move and hide their weapons and nuclear materials. (this was publicly undisputed on both sides of the aisle before GWB was elected – the all of a sudden Bush was an idiot as the left side of the aisle and the media conveniently forgot what they had been saying for 8 years of Clinton)

Now – we have Tiger Woods – accepting an invitation to speak in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Why ? Because of the color of Obama’s skin, and Tiger has this to say…

Woods speaks at inaugural event

Tiger Woods spoke Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington during "We Are One," an inauguration celebration for President-elect Barack Obama (pictured, left). Below is the text of his speech, entitled "You’ll Never Walk Alone," as posted on his Web site:

"I grew up in a military family – and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods.

My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of the service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.

Each day – and particularly on this historic day – we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for them to come home safely.

I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional one as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament to those unsung heroes. I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family and the military, and I am a better person for it.

In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man at whose memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said:

‘I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.’

Just as they have stood tall for our country – we must always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families.

Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the US Naval Glee Club."

How in the world was Tiger allowed to make such glowing remarks about the armed forces ? Did he just not tell the organizers what he was going to say ? I also noted that there wasn’t a single mention of Obama. Strange to anybody else ? Apparently I was wrong about Tiger’s position. I hope he accepted the invitation in his father’s honor – and no one elses.

When I saw the title of your post Court, I thought, “Nice … someone else noticed Tiger’s shabby public speaking abilities too.” But no, you lost respect for Tiger because he respects Obama enough to speak … That is laughable, and most know that Blazer likes to laugh, so thanks Court!
