WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will return to the Gulf Coast next week for a two-day update on the Gulf oil spill, reacting to Americans' rising frustration with the government's response to the disaster.
On the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave fellow Democrats a strict deadline Tuesday to act on oil spill legislation.

There’s already legislation, Pelosi.
A week to perfect the ability to shed a tear on queue.
No kidding - what a farce.
It’s all for show now.
Too late, Mr. Prez. A lot of what could have been done won’t matter anymore.
So how much is it costing the tax payer for him to keep flying back to dc in time for Ghetto Night at the White House

For one brief moment I thought the headline read “Obama to return to golf...”
I’ve never seen such a reprehensible puke represent this nation. What a disgrace!
Uh-Oh.

What can he possibly do in the Gulf that he can’t do in DC? is he going to swim down there and plug it himself?
only thing that sending him down to the Gulf is good for is photo op’s.
Will it be 2 days of golf before he goes to the gulf?
I’ll bet if someone just kinda held their hand over their mouth and coughed out the words “gulf coast”, Barry would be out the door in a tear and be slobbering out of the window of the limo like a hounddog cause he thought they said “golf course”
Please! Please! Don’t come to Mississippi! We don’t need you and your snarky attitude down here!
He’s scrambling to do something, anything, that looks presidential. He should be told by somebody that the party season is over for a while. As a leader, he’s tone deaf.
And the media will follow along....
Hussein, start kicking your own miserable ass!
THE OIL POLLUTION ACT OF 1990 CHARGES THE WHITE HOUSE WITH CLEANING UP THE MESS. SO YOU HAVE FAILED BIG TIME, HUSSEIN!
OPA, among other things, amended Section 311 of the federal Clean Water Act. Section 311 now provides in part that: (A) If a discharge, or a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil or a hazardous substance from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility is of such a size or character as to be a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States (including but not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural resources, and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the United States), the President shall direct all Federal, State, and private actions to remove the discharge or to mitigate or prevent the threat of the discharge.
(B) In carrying out this paragraph, the President may, without regard to any other provision of law governing contracting procedures or employment of personnel by the Federal Government–
(i) remove or arrange for the removal of the discharge, or mitigate or prevent the substantial threat of the discharge; and
(ii) remove and, if necessary, destroy a vessel discharging, or threatening to discharge, by whatever means are available.
Obama To Take The Beaches.
Behold... real community organizing right before our very eyes...
I am already impressed and he’s not even there yet. If he speaks, I’ll surly faint.
Maybe BP could get on his good side, if they simply built him a Greek temple out of oily sand. From there, he could speak to the masses.
Oh damn, I fainted.
