Polling data must be atrocious.
Imagine the “top kill” tomorrow by BP fails, and this thing is still gushing on Friday ?
I just read on Drudge that Obama, Mechelle, the kids and entourage are all going to Chicago for the Memorial Day weekend.
So which is true?
He’ll play golf on Saturday then?.....
flyover.......he’s got a date in C-town
He is just covering up for taking a vacation in Chicago to party with Paul. Nothing more.
Which course is he playing?
"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs."
Today is Tuesday, right? thats thats 3 days away. Hmm.
Is he bringing the Dawn dishwashing liquid?
Just what they need down there — a politician to come and bloviate...and of course blame George Bush.
Those who can’t do, spin.
Bingo!
Supposedly he will leave LA and fly to Chicago for a 3 day family vacation - talk about looking bad if it’s still flowing more than ever!

WASHINGTON — The news that President Barack Obama and his family will return to Chicago for the Memorial Day weekend has triggered a guessing game.

According to a White House official, the Obamas will arrive Thursday and stay until Monday, when Obama will participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. The veterans’ cemetery is about 50 miles south of Chicago.
Opps! Almost forgot the Sarc/
Will he take a swim in the gulf?
Can’t we send Zer0 some bales of hay so he can spend the day soaking up oil himself?
I just hope it isn’t still gushing till August, when the relief wells are supposed to be done.
