Obama hits golf course with Biden on another hot, humid weekend By Bridget Johnson - 06/19/10 03:37 PM ET
President Barack Obama hit the golf course Saturday with Vice President Joe Biden.
The White House pool report noted that Obama left at about 1 p.m. for the course at Andrews Air Force base, and his golfing parters included White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson and photographer David Katz.
Nicholson and Katz, along with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, joined Obama for four hours of golf last weekend. The Republican National Committee released an ad soon afterward taking aim at Obama's golfing during the ongoing BP oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
The temperatures in the Washington, D.C., area Saturday were similar to last weekend, in the low 90s and humid.
Obama attended the Washington Nationals game Friday night wearing a cap for his hometown Chicago White Sox. Sources told the pool reporter that Obama sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and left in the ninth inning, before the White Sox edged out the Nationals 2-1 in the 11th.
While the BP CEO is at a yacht race. What’s the difference?
You don’t need much work time to do things if all you do is talk.
I really could care less about either.....IF they are doing their jobs.....one of them is NOT.....and he thinks he is....guess which one that is?
My Dad worked longer hours as a CPA.
Don’t work too hard there, Barry.
BP CEO Hayward’s Yacht Outing Sparks Criticism
BUT Obama going golfing is just fine...
actually, the ceo of BP isn’t responsible for the cleanup... no more so than you would be responsible for repairing your own car if you had an accident.
the oil companies have been paying their insurance premiums (the oil spill liability trust fund) since 1990. the purpose of the fund, which holds about $2.5 billion, is to allow the government enough money to manage, oversee and insure the cleanup is done properly. it also limits the financial exposure of the oil companies... to about $75m per incident.
of course, 0bama and crew don’t want people to know this.
they also don’t want people to know that it was bjclinton that signed the law making the POTUS the one in charge of offshore oil spills.
therefore, it makes a huge difference if 0bama is goofing off instead of pluggin the damn hole.
hey 0bama... thanks for killing the gulf, you a**hole
I actually prefer him on the golf course than actually trying to do something. At least he’s not screwing up anything worse than he already has. I think he should take the next 6 months off. But then that might help the rats in the november election.
Obama: I wont’ rest until the oil spill is cleaned up.
Word is someone gave him a bilingual map of the area with the title- “Golfo de Mexico”, and he thought it was a vacation travel brochure...
Let’s not forget Obama’s outing to the Nationals Ballgame last night, before Hayward who ‘handed over oversight’ yesterday, went yachting...
I will not rest until the leak was stopped.“
… Except, of course, for the ball games, golf, vacations, parties, etc.
He shares your anger, Louisiana. Remember that.
It used to be that the President and the Vice President didnt spend much time together, Afraid an assassination attempt might get them both at onc e. Did nancy have anything to do with Biden being with Obama so much. I know she would like to sit in the big chair.
Lol...need that Code Pink woman in there..
Our Gulf Coast is dying and this sonofab*tch goes golfing. Way to lead 0bamanation. Urghhhh!
