McCarthy: Obama hasn't returned call of lawmaker representing district of rig
The Hill ^ | Friday May 28, 2010 | Molly K. Hooper

Chief Deputy Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) relayed a story Thursday morning at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast bolstering House Minority Leader John Boehner's (R-Ohio) charge of negligence on the part of the White House in the Gulf oil spill cleanup.

Asked if this was the president's Hurricane Katrina, McCarthy responded, "It very well could be."

He explained that Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), who represents the district in which the BP explosion occurred, said he tried reaching the president last Thursday to discuss possible solutions.

“He was called back by a staffer on Friday who said that the president was too busy to talk to him. He understood that until I turned on the TV and saw that he was golfing and went out to California to do a fundraiser. He said — six days now and he’s never even spoken to him," McCarthy said.

Is it possible that the entire crew at the White House is... stoned?

Seriously.

Seriously STONED.

It's the only logical explanation for this sheer disregard of the Gulf states... that they're all entirely whacked out on something --- they didn't even remember the flags.... used to be, he never showed up unless there were a dozen or more American flags as a backdrop.

Obama is such a child. A child with a large chip on his shoulder.

What does it matter? The oil is within the 3 mile zone. My guess is that is what the rep wants to talk about; his constituents who are soon to be devastated by the oil.
