Obama Golfs After Receiving Word of NYPD Shooting

Obama Golfs After Receiving Word of NYPD Shooting:
"President Barack Obama was briefed on the ambush killing of two NYPD cops while on the golf course in Hawaii this afternoon, according to the White House press pool report.
“The President has been briefed on the Brooklyn police shooting. White House officials continue to monitor the situation,” reported Wall Street Journal’s Carol Lee.
Obama endured harsh criticism for golfing minutes after issuing a statement on the beheading of James Foley at the hands of Muslim militants in September.
“You know, it is always a challenge when you’re supposed to be on vacation because you’re followed everywhere.
There’s always going to be some tough news somewhere,” Obama said. 
“I should have anticipated the optics.”"
