0 beginning. as the trivial issue. the guy wants to play a golf. the guy deserves a couple days off. he wants privacy, big deal. this is the biggest non-media, non-story the media have created since the kardashian weddings. he has a lodge way to go before he plays half as much golf as eisenhower, a pretty good president you have to admit. i don't understand what the outrage is. >> the press being banned from covering his leisure activities, you don't care? >> absolutely not. >> bill: i don't want to watch it. i don't care. >> me, too. what we'll do we'll look at his score card and that is enough. >> bill: look, i think it is a big deal but obviously tiger woods resume, dubious and then the president lends his prestige to more woods in a sense. i can understand why people might not like that. >> i don't think obama is out there with tiger receiving marital advice. i think he is out there receiving advice on how to line up a putt. >> bill: that is good point. he a good golfer. if i want to know hit a baseball i'll talk to mark mcguire. you wrote a column and said charles krauthammer supports the presidential authority to drop drones on terrorists and kill them, very controversial issue. do you understand why a lot of conservatives are against it, they don't want to give the president that kind of authority? >> i do understand it and i received a lot of incoming since the weekend when i published the column. i the problem is this: understand the constitution the commander in chief conducts war. lincoln did, fdr did, every president is the highest authority when it comes to deciding who lives and who dies. look, lyndon johnson picked out targets on which we dropped bombs in vietnam. fdr and truman what entire cities we would wipe out there. >> was no review or committee or anything else. >> bill: but that was declared war? >> as the declared war. what we have is the authorization for the use of force three-days after 9/11 which in the gulf war and is in the iraq war is the modern equivalent of a declaration of war. you do that and we declare who the enemy was. people who did 9/11 and all those who harbored or abetted them and that declaration.... >> bill: do you think if mitt romney had been elected president, i think he would have continued the drone program, do you think there would have been as much conservative opposition if republicans were dropping the drones as opposed to obama, isn't this about obama? >> no, i don't. i think its principled opposition. these are people who worry about the extent of the power of government. it would have been the same in bush administration. the real hypocrisy is the liberals. if this had been the bush administration dropping drones onto americans -- i think there are principles at stake. i respect the opposition on this issue, but i don't see any alternative to having unity of command in the conduct of the war and the principle here even if you attack an american as we did alaki, if you take up arms against the united states, you for fit the privileges of citizenship and the fifth amendment due process. once you do that by being an enemy combatant we can drone you the way that we do an afghan or a saudi or a yemeni. there is no difference. >> bill: charles, go to the results of our poll. do you support the president for drone program. 55% do not support the program. very interesting poll. and we have a brand-new poll this evening. does it matter that president obama played golf with tiger woods, yes or no? next on the rundown, harry belafonte brings racism in the bjorn earns unlimited rewas for his small business take theseags to room 12 please.
