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.
Are you people going insane !
Yes the people in the gulf are taking days off !

Hayward is not on the job anymore. What's wrong with using his time any way he wants to? Hayward spent the day with his son at the JP Morgan Asset Management Round The Island Race. The holiday to the Isle of Wight, off the coast of southern England, was his first day off since the spill began after a fatal rig blast on April 20.

How many times did Obama take vacationing breaks since April 20? In fact, how many such diversionary breaks did he take BEFORE he took a trip to the Gulf?

Oh, yes...here it is. Did y'all miss it?

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)


The WH says a president needs a break. In the middle of a major disaster?
A break from what? vacations, parties, concerts?

How about taking a break to spend time addressing the problems in the Gulf? How about meeting with the CEO and other BP execs, and managers on the ground?

And, if that didn't seem all so pressing because he could hand it off to others while distancing himself from the responsibility...how about just taking some time to address the pressing issue of securing the borders? The business of the country needs a leader who is more than just "present" in name only.

Hasn't he been fired? Can Obama fire him twice? Better yet, Can Obama fire him twice while playing gulf!
Ah, the little riddles in life

He was told to take the day off and go yachting. He's being set up as the fall guy. Obama was told to take the day off and go golfing.

Your picture proves absolutely nothing.... a picture of Obama at his desk smiling...what a horrendous crime!!!! So now he's not allowed to smile???
Do repugnants allow him to pee or poop???

What are "Cheetos" ? and why do you think I'm holding them??? Makes as much sense as your photo of Obama which YOU think proves something....
