President Barack Obama reacted to the on-camera slaying of photojournalist James Foley (far left) for five minutes on Wednesday, telling a global audience that ‘when people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.’ Minutes later he began a five-hour round at Farm Neck Golf Course on Martha’s Vineyard for his seventh visit to the links, during a vacation that began August 9. Obama (left) was joined by private equity investor Glenn Hutchins (center) and Cyrus Walker (right), the cousin of Obama’s top adviser Valerie Jarrett. He also golfed with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning (bottom). The decision to hit the golf course brought a chorus of condemnation from TV commentators, journalists, conservative partisans and Twitter users – and even an unintentional slap from the left-leaning New York Times. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters could hardly contain his anger Wednesday night on the Fox News Channel as he discussed Obama’s reactions to the ISIS terror network’s beheading of Foley, an American who had been missing since 2012. ‘There is no way the president should be stupid enough to go play golf’ after such a somber speech, Peters said.
. The vacationing commander-in-chief played 18 holes with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning and two business pals
. Twitter exploded and commentators from Fox and ABC tore into Obama for appearing insensitive and ‘stupid
. Former President George W. Bush declined to comment on Obama’s 18-hole priorities
. Texas congressman carps that Obama ‘spent more time lining up his many putts than he did lining up efforts to stop the killers’
. The US attempted to rescue Americans held hostage by ISIS in July, but the mission failed because it was the wrong location
. US Secret Service and UK intelligence are searching for Foley’s executioner, who spoke with a British accent in the video
. Nearly a dozen new airstrikes near the Mosul Dam came after gruesome video showed an ISIS militant cutting off photojournalist’s head

President Barack Obama reacted to the on-camera slaying of photojournalist James Foley for five minutes on Wednesday, telling a global audience that ‘when people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.’
Less than 10 minutes after leaving the podium Obama teed-off and was seen laughing with friends and fist-bumping them during a five-hour game Farm Neck Golf Course on Martha’s Vineyard – his seventh round in ten days.
The decision brought a chorus of condemnation from TV commentators, journalists, conservative partisans and Twitter users.
