Tom Strickland was in the Grand Canyon with his wife last week participating in activities that included white-water rafting

What, you expect him to go rafting in an oil spill?

Hmm. And wasn’t Leiter, Obama’s anti-terror chief, on a ski trip when the panty bomber struck? As I recall, he didn’t hurry home from vacation, either.

And, of course, Obama was sunning himself in Hawaii.

This is just an effort 2 keep the blowback from Zero; during the unfolding crisis he took time to encourage greater entrepreneurialism from muslims in Dublin, Ireland —something I’m sure has been weighing heavily on all your minds....

WORSE THAN CARTER.

Every time we turn around there is another not good story to tell about this administration. It happens when incompetence is in place from the top on down.

Maybe, just maybe, people will start to realize that there are limits as to what a president and government can do in an emergency such as this....at least until a Republican is back in the Oval Office.

Zero was eating pie and playing golf. That’s the investigation I want to see.

Too bad the guy’s name isn’t Nero, or maybe we should start calling Obama Nero. Hmm.

Though his agency was charged with coordinating the federal response to the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Department of the Interior chief of staff Tom Strickland was in the Grand Canyon with his wife last week participating in activities that included white-water rafting, ABC News has learned.

Can't wait until Gibbs attempts to gloss this over by stating, technically, it wasn't Strickland's responsibility, since the Gulf of Mexico in on the country's exterior.

Zero eats pie and plays golf all the time but he always concentrates on the more important things. ICE CREAM.

Well, I do see a pattern here. It’s more fun rafting in the Grand Canyon than in the middle of an oil slick in the Gulf.

Also, that explains why they’ve just build an environmental testing boat to patrol the coastal waters, looking for interesting stuff, instead of building the special booms they needed to contain an oil spill. And which they said they needed many years ago.

Because it’s a lot more fun for greenie scientists to travel around in a fancy boat exploring the environment than it is to build a bunch of dumb booms to contain oil spills—and to pay redneck oil workers to put them to use.
