You want the officials of BP out golfing right now?
Do you really think they go back to the office after a 10 minute conference or interview??

Obama golfs for four hours in sweltering heat - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Yeah hes real worried. Hes real mad and he means business just wait till after his golf game because that seems to be a big priority to him since he does it so much
Would it make you happy if he tore all his clothing and heaped ashes on his head?

I said no such thing. I am saying that it's ridiculous to "pay" him for working 9 hours instead of 8 when he is already on salary. BTW, many private companies pay that way. By salary and if a person's regular workday is Mon-Fri and he/she is asked to work on a Saturday, he/she does not get extra pay or overtime.

To all who resent the President playing golf:

When he is playing golf, he is not stealing money from investors like Chrysler lenders or GM bondholders.

When he is playing golf, he isn't dreaming up new ways to tax you more so he can give money to your neighbor.

When he is playing golf, he is not trying to dig the country out of a financial hole by wasting money we do not have.

When he is playing golf, he is not stuffing taxpayer dollars into his union friends.

Personally, I wish he would play golf all the time and not have any new ideas or time to try to "help" us.

no but it would be nice if he appeared to care.

I expect a leader to lead by example.

perception is reality

Perception is illusion. What you percieve may be vastly different from what I percieve. I percieve that the President cares very much about the crisis. I go by what he is saying and doing about it not by his tone of voice or the look on his face.

LMFAO

You go by what he's saying and doing......not by the tone of his voice or look on his face?

Exactly what is it that he says and does that impresses the Hell out of you so much?
Can you provide some really good quotes of pure truth and total sincerity that comes from his words then.....since the look on his smug mug or the tone in his voice of intimidation, when he's looking for some ass to kick, is rmoved from the equation?

I look forward to your reply and quotes that may perhaps, qualify so he can perhaps, impress the Hell out of me just as much as you.

Just my 2 cents........or they way I happen to perceive it.

Did I say that I was impressed by the President? I don't think so. So much for your perseption. You can't even percieve what is written right in front of your face.
