Since the explosion in the Gulf on April 20, here is what Obama's leisure time was like:

Rounds of golf: 8 – 4/23, 4/24, 5/8, 5/15, 5/16, 5/22, 6/13, 6/19
States visited before stepping foot in Louisiana: 6 – NC, NY, IL, CA, IA, MO
Concerts: 2 – 6/2 (McCartney), 6/6 (Kelly Clarkson)
Comedy shows: 2 - 5/1 (Leno), 6/6 (George Lopez)
Vacations: 2 – 4/23-4/25 (Asheville, NC), 5/28-5/31 (Chicago)

There's more in the link below. Man, all of this fun he is having is making me tired!

Can we ever remember a president and his administration, targeting and mocking the CEO of a private company, in order to deflect blame from their own incompetence?

I can't.

Why the demagoguery about a man spending time with his son.

Now, if Tony had engaged in 7 golf outings since the spill, well, that might have been different.

I mean honestly, BP should be held responsible. They are the ones who built the rig without meeting proper engineering codes and regulations.
BP is responsible ya knucklehead!

BTW, do you feel comfortable with 0bama allowing an oil company to be asserting so much control over the clean up of the oil; which is killing jobs, the environment and wildlife?

What if the next oil disaster is from some oil tanker or oil rig owned by Vietnam, are we going to feel comfortable with 0bama allowing the Vietnamese oil freighter company to clean up the mess?

While we are at it, which regulations and engineering codes do you think BP did not meet? Keep in mind federal regulators were inspecting BP for the past 18 months.

What!! That's all I heard about , Obama Plays GolF on Father's Day!! instead of saving America....where DO YOU get your news!!!!!It was all over the news!!






"""The left needs to get out of their basements, open a window or something, and take a deep breath....only then, maybe some of the hate will escape.





Point out WHERE in the post of mine you quoted WHERE the "hate" is..... POINT IT OUT!

I don't know what your answer had to do with my post you quoted except maybe you don't believe in physical exercise(please, then, NO personal photos)..

Not to nit pick, but... oh what the hell..... They forgot to mention the Sen. Boxer political fundraiser he went to memorial on May 25th, was done instead of his attending the memorial services for the Oil Rig workers killed in the explosion.

Maybe he could be a bit more prepared if he was actually working

I still can NOT believe you are attempting to make the excuse that Obama has NOTHING he could be working on. Heck we dont need him as president if thats the case.
It's not that there's NOTHING Obama could be working on. But do you really begrudge the man a few hours of golf? A President working 24/7 is NOT the solution...in fact, I would imagine that after a few stress-relieving hours watching a ballgame, playing golf, playing basketball, etc would be a great way to recharge. I find no fault in Hayward going yachting, either. Are powerful men not allowed recreational time? Should it be ALL work and no play??

LOL, I just got back from a 5k run!! Put down the Cheetos for a minute and tell me if this is a picture of a President putting his "laser like focus" on the oil spill?

Do you think that the people that live in the Gulf are taking days off?

No body has a problem with the President de-stressing a bit, but come on! Did you see all of the "leisure" things he has done since the oil crisis started?

We are all under a lot of stress, I wish I had the time to do all of the fun things he does! I actually have a responsibility to my employer and my family.
