Shhhh! As the world waits for Obama to voice his opinion on Gaza, America's president-in-waiting hits the golf course

Barack Obama remained silent over the violence in Gaza as Israel today threatened to continue its attacks for weeks.

Instead, the president-elect is continuing his 12-day Christmas holiday in Hawaii and was seen enjoying a round of golf.
He joined a group of friends at a private club near his £6million rented, beach-front holiday home in Hawaii yesterday.

World leaders, including Gordon Brown and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, have called for an immediate ceasefire.

Mr Ban even said that Israel’s response attacks from Gaza amounted to an ‘excessive use of force’.

But Mr Obama has made the decision to leave all comments to outgoing President George Bush, who has so far chosen only to attack Hamas.

On the golf course, his security team even turned away a letter from pro-Palestinian campaigners urging him to help stop the four-day-old violence.

A couple comments from the bottom of a the article - Perspective IS reality. Amazing how we can look at the same situation and come away with totally different views of it. Guess we see what we want to see.

You do realize America ALREADY has a president? One who should be taking some sort of stand against this atrocity? But hes too busy looking for reasons to create propaganda and attack another country (Iran, if you haven't already guessed). Obama is not to be a scapegoat, take a look at what Bush is doing right now and see hes already planned to leave Obama with a shaky platform to take come January.

This guy is a complete fraud who is in way over his head! And what is this nonsense about there being only one president at a time? That never kept him from voicing his opinion(s) in the past. Let's face facts! This man was obsessed with becoming president not being president.
