Got better things to do with my time

From the New York Times:
Amid Politics, Obama Drifted Away From Kin
After Zeituni Onyango, the woman President Obama once called Auntie, died in a South Boston nursing home this month, her closest relatives gathered her belongings at her nearby apartment. There, framed photographs of her with the president covered the wall.

Weeping before a polished wood coffin at her wake this past Saturday, they described Ms. Onyango, the half sister of the president�s father, as �the spirit of the Obama family� and talked about raising money to send her body back to Kenya. Mr. Obama helped pay funeral expenses and sent a condolence note, Ms. Onyango�s family members said, but the president did not attend, as he was golfing.
Emphasis mine -- that really sums up his presidency.
