TIGER WOODS SPEECH AT THE INAUGURATION:

Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the inauguration.

His inviters were stunned, when he did not deliver the message they expected. You will see why the media swept it under the rug with no further ado, who & why of a certain element is pissed off at Tiger.

Below is the text of his speech, entitled: "You'll Never Walk Alone,"

as posted on his Web site:

"I grew up in a military family - and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods. My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of the service, and every rank.

"In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand 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 one 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 at 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 US Naval Glee Club."

I am sure this was suppressed deliberately, and not because everyone was too interested in the 'octomom' news of the day.

I have no idea, I don't follow that stuff - all I meant was, I am sure the explanation is that his speech didn't really figure as newsworthy considering other events that went on in the day - the media does prefer the sensational. Tiger's speech was very homey and nice, but not sensational.

Like what? It's a thoroughly nice speech. Very, very nice, but nice is utterly boring to the media.

He's a sports media darling....not really mainstream or celebrity/gossip media.

he didn't mention obama at all. maybe that's why it didn't make the media pages.
