WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama keeps reassuring the nation that stopping the Gulf oil spill and limiting the fallout on the region are his top priority.

Yet so is protecting the country against attack. And getting people back to work.

Presidencies usually don't allow for a dominant priority — just a list of priorities.

During another hectic week, Obama made this promise: "This entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines."

From the Gulf Coast on Friday, he said making the people and the ecosystems whole again "is our highest priority." It was not just a policy statement but a communications imperative.

During another hectic week,

The only reason it was hectic is that everything was scheduled so Obummer could get going on his vacation.

Let's not lose sight that the Libtards constantly like to spew that Dear Leader Obama can multitask while President Bush couldn't deal with more than one thing at a time.

This is because Obama is SOOOOOO Smart and Bush was SOOOOOO
Stupid.

As I point out to the Libtards I encounter, the Military always let's those stupid guys fly multi million dollar fighter jets and the Elite Colleges hand those same stupid guys Masters Degrees.

God, now they are back to segregation. Gay barracks. Maybe it would be cheaper to make them wear a pink stripe.

He can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone handle any crises that face our country.

“focused on how do we stop the leak and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines."

Apparently it is by issuing dictatorial edicts resulting from unknown writers of an Interior Department safety report, thus "implementing those orders" from Fearless Reader!

Keeping its "boot on the throat" of BP has now in one week mushroomed into "implementing orders" against the entire industry in a mirror of his pal Hugo Chavez.

And everyone thought little bammy was just cracking funnies with that "my power is absolute" remark.

Yea, funny. ha ha.

That's right bammy, just keep right on showing your true color, RED, to all those voters that you have just killed their jobs and will now loose their houses, cars, kids college, etc.

Yea, `ol Chavez is PROUD of you today you communist scum.

But hey, look on the bright side little bammy, your six month dictatorial edict will show your full and complete ignorance to voting American Citizens seeing with “prefect clarity” the full destruction of both your inability to respond to that “3:00 am phone call“ as well as your blind lashing out at a MAJOR industry in the middle of your current economy that your communists-that-call-themselves-democrats party screwed up just in time for…



NØVEMBER

Doesn't the President ever spend time with his family? We always see him playing golf, or basketball, or whatever, but it's never with his family.

He may go and watch his kids play soccer, but never accompanied by his wife.

Michelle digs dirt in her garden, but Barry is never shown with her. Don't these two people aver talk to each other?

And his daughter asking "Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?" while he is shaving is the most absurd statement I've heard yet?

The ONLY thing that King 0bama will EVER be singularly focused on is himself.

At some point, even in the face of the constant flow of media spawned lies and BS, America will come to see this man as the greatest narcissist to have ever soiled the office of the White House.

You would have to believe that Up is in fact DOWN to believe what this ass clown says at this point.

"..."One of the things you learn as president is because you've got this title, and you know, there's the plane and the helicopter and all that stuff, that people expect you to solve problems," Obama said Tuesday..."

Geez! Is this phaker a dumb ass or what?
