Easy there big fella, I may have just missed something. Thank you for the links, but what would donations have to do with how Tiger may feel? The disses are real and I don't mind telling you that they did not sit well with me and perhaps they did not sit well with Tiger either. I may be wrong but that is how it looks to me.
By the way, here is an answer to your donation links.

Oh, I guess a youtube video trumps donation statistics. In case you didn't notice in that video, which has been discussed ad nauseum in this forum, when the marines are with Obama they are "at attention". You cannot hoot and holler while you are at attention. Nice try though.

And I'm not a "fella"
I agree to the at attention part when Obama enters but they were not when he left and the CNN reporter even mentioned the "tepid response" Nice try though.
Sorry for the fella remark, there was no intentional disrespect on my part.

He didn't get a tepid response when he told them he was going to raise their pay.
He didn't get a tepid response when he said he would pass a bill assuring them of an education.
He didn't get a tepid response when he said that their families would be taken care of and financial hardships due to their deployment eased.
He didn't get a tepid response when he said the wounded would receive better care.
I'm sure he is genuinely pleased to see "a person of color" elected to the whitehouse. I still haven't read any endorsement of politics, policy, etc. etc. I wonder if his speech would have been different if it had been an inauguration for J.C. Watts? Classy guy, smart guy, he's not revealing anything other than pride that this nation has come to a point that a man of mixed racial descent holds the highest office in the land. That's not surprising, that's not news and no one in his or her right mind can publicly say anything else.
I'm sure he agrees with Whoopie Goldberg, however...
Here is the text of Tiger woods Inauguration speech where he fully honors the military but, says nothing about Obama.
"I grew up in a military family -- and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Col. Earl Woods.
My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw firsthand the dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.
Each day -- and particularly on this historic day -- we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for them to come home safely.
I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional life as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament to those unsung heroes. I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family and the military, and I am a better person for it.
In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man on whose memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said: "I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country."
Just as they have stood tall for our country -- we must always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families.
Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the U.S. Naval Glee Club."
Because Tiger Woods won't do ANYTHING for anybody unless they PAY for his endorsement. Just ask Nike and Buick.
Looking here he makes alot of sense that he does discuss ot talk politcs being famous.
