Barack Obama told The Politico this morning that the Gulf oil spill was like 9-11 (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/06/obama-gulf-oil-spill-echoes-9-11/ - broken link). Then he went golfing for 4 hours.
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
What an idiot. If Obama worked for me he'd been fired long ago. He brings nothing to the table, which has been proven. He's totally worthless.
I don't understand you people. You Republicans said nothing when Bush was on vacation seemingly every day yet get angry when Obama goes golfing for four hours? Is he supposed to work 24/7?[/quote
I am not a Republican. Obama could have stayed in Washington to golf. He did not need to come to the Gulf Coast and show us how little he cares about our environment, our jobs, and our lifes in general. I am insulted. Also, you need to live in today's world, not the past.
Well in today's world, if a person works all day, they are entitled to four hours off to do as they please, don't you think?
Believe it or not ... even Presidents have a right to some time off for relaxation!
[MOD CUT/OFF TOPIC]
It isn't just the playing of golf that is a problem (btw, he takes his share of time off in my opinion) it is comparing the oil spill with either Katrina or 9/11. That is just plain nuts!!!
Not in today's world when you are president. He took the job, he knew the hours. It's nice when things are going well but when we have a crisis we want our officials on the job. You want the officials of BP out golfing right now?
Oil right now is our life blood---sorry to say but it just is. So we are going to shut down all our plants and stop manufacturing? You want America to come to a stop and let the rest of the world take us over? Just checking.
Lets see it takes 3 hours to fly there and 3 hours to fly back. He spent 3 hours there. Ummm thats a 9 hour workday. So I guess all of you work for free after 8 hours of work? Who cares where he plays golf - its his time.
The president has a set salary of $400,000 per year. He doesn't get paid by the hour.

And you probably think he should work 16 hour days / 7 days a week.
Except for listening to a bunch of talking heads down there, what expertise does he have to do anything except bob his head? Maybe you want him to sign more entitlement checks.
