Obama admits golfing amid crisis was a mistake
President Obama admitted in an interview airing Sunday that it was a mistake to go golfing on Martha's Vineyard immediately after condemning the beheading of American journalist James Foley last month.
He also told Meet the Press that he will go to Congress and the nation this week with a strategy to defeat the Islamic State militants, whom he accused of "savagery" in the killing of thousands of innocent people in Iraq and Syria, including two American journalists.
"There's no doubt that — after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that I made, that you know, I should've anticipated the optics" in going golfing, he said. "You know, that's part of the job."
"But part of this job is also the theater of it," he said. "It's not something that always comes naturally to me. But it matters. And I'm mindful of that," Obama said.
