(Reuters) - The White House renewed its sharp criticism of BP (BP.L) (BP.N) CEO Tony Hayward after he attended a yacht race off the English coast on Saturday as his company struggles to plug its huge Gulf of Mexico oil leak.
"This has just been part of a long line of PR gaffes and mistakes," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said in an interview taped for ABC's "This Week" week program, referring to Hayward.
Sheila Williams, a spokeswoman for the energy giant, said Hayward attended the boat race at the Isle of Wight, saying he was spending some time with his teenage son after devoting most of the past two months away from family.
Obama administration officials and President Barack Obama himself have been harshly critical of Hayward over some public statements he has made since the spill began in April.

How many rounds of golf did El Presidente play this week? I think the White House needs to STFU.

Obama was at the White Sox/Nats game last night, and he's playing 18 holes with Biden today. Hypocrites, all of them.

Plus, he only worked half-a-day on Friday.
Plus, plus, his spill clean-up czar is a part-time position.
Methinks the AP is trying to create a distraction beneficial to Zero.

Don't forget to mention the hypocrites in the media who have turned a blind eye to Obozo’s lack of involvement with this oil spill while criticizing BP.

...and in other news, President Obama scored a twenty-over-par 92 today in his weekly golf game, coincidentally matching the number of dead pelicans found today in the Louisiana.

Well, I guess the propaganda department of Obozo’s administration (otherwise known as the MSM) isn’t taking the weekend off.
