That's why it's perplexing to me that in a time of crisis, our commanders in chief continue to work on bettering their backswings, knowing criticism is bound to ensue.

When British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward was seen lounging on a yacht this past weekend, the White House wasted no time reprimanding him for taking some time off in the middle of a catastrophe happening under his watch. But the president also took some time off — to hit the links.

When the entire universe is focused on one individual, why would it be the thing to do to tackle problems? Why not golf? And then consider little boys do not know how to take on serious problems,much less care....

More and more I’m starting to believe this was intentional. If not, islamabama sure is happy about it.

Andrea: Um, I need about 15 million 18 - 24 year old gentlemen to come help me clean up the gulf from this nasty oil stuff. I’ll bring food and water. It’ll be fun !

15 million 18 - 24 year old gentlemen: Um, ok.

” If my apartment were on fire and I took time out to get a pedicure, it would seem absurd. “

Speaking of pedicures...

” Did you know?
In April 2010, President Obama and the First Lady enjoyed a relaxing couples retreat weekend at The Grove Park Inn -
playing golf on our historic course and relaxing at our world-class Spa.”

Barry was availing himself of all the treatments at the Grove Park Spa http://www.groveparkinn.com/Leisure/TheSpa/
within hours of the spill.
And not a disparaging word from the fossil , knee pad media.
My money is on Barry having a Brazilian wax.

"Obama Should Focus on Gulf, Not Golf"

Why can't he do both?

Gulf; Obama; oil spill; BP; politics; satire
