Thick Blobs of Tar Begin Washing Up on Alabama Shore – Obama Goes Golfing

Barack Obama went golfing on Saturday as thick blobs of tar began washing up on the Alabama shore.
The first attempt to capture the leaking oil in the Gulf of Mexico failed on Saturday. BP said it could be days before another similar attempt is made.
FOX News reported:
As a massive oil leak spit thousands of gallons more crude into the Gulf of Mexico, a big box that BP hoped would be its savior sat idle hundreds of feet away, encased in ice crystals.
The company’s first attempt to divert the oil had failed, its mission now in serious doubt. Meanwhile, thick blobs of tar washed up on Alabama’s white sand beaches, yet another sign the spill was worsening.
It had taken about two weeks to build the box and three days to cart it 50 miles out and slowly lower it to the well a mile below the surface, but the frozen depths were just too much. BP officials were not giving up hopes that a containment box — either the one brought there or a larger one being built — could cover the well. But they said it could be days before another attempt to capture the oil and funnel it to a tanker at the surface would be tried.
“I wouldn’t say it’s failed yet,” BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said. “What I would say is what we attempted to do … didn’t work.”
Thank goodness Obama has his lapdog media to cover for him. If he were a Republican he’d be finished right about now.

Maybe he can play the entire Robert Trent Jones Trail on his way to the Gulf…
BillyBob commented:
And you expect President Obama to do…what? Join YOU on the beach to clean up the oil bird by dead bird? If anyone ought to be out there standing vigil with a roll of paper towels, it is the morons who’ve screamed “drill baby drill.”
Here’s a new slogan you all can start chanting: “clean baby clean!”

Obama on the GOLF coast.
His comment of keeping the boot on the neck of the villian was the strongest solution rendered EVAH!!!
WSG commented:
Jim, maybe you should have used a split picture with a oil covered bird or something. The picture of Obama golfing is just pleasant and reassuring. I have no doubt that he can come up with new ways to tax/regulate/control life as we know it even while he golfs, but at least it looks like we have a momentary break.
DougO commented:
At #2.
While I know that anything he could do would be just delegating tasks to his underlings, the “smartest president we have ever had” should consider how it looks for him to go out enjoying his golf game while the oil is a-leakin.
That is, of course, if he cares what people think. His media is protecting him so he probably thinks this is acceptable behavior.
hermie commented:
George Bush was expected by the MSM to be on hand directing every aspect of the Katrina/New Orleans disaster relief efforts. Anything less than 100% attention was deemed by them to show that he was mean-spririted and racist.
Now the MSM gives Obama a pass not only on the oil splil, but the Nashville floods as well, where he has been completely absent.
Tim H commented:
I guess Obamanation feels his plan to drag this country down in ruin is going on schedule.
M Malone commented:
Fort Belvoir was a good choice, the only water hazard is out of bounds…
Opus #6 commented:
Maybe if Obama took his golf cleats off of the neck of BP, they could team up and fix the gulf oil spill crisis. Ooops. That would require a day’s WORK.
Richard Romano commented:
We should have a weekly feature at GP: “What if Bush had done this?”
I’ll never forget Keith Olbermann foaming at the mouth over Bush’s announcement that he had given up golf because it was inappropriate — and here we have a president who gladly golfs during catastrophes.
Olbermann nowhere to be seen.
M Malone commented:
Olberman is now attempting to count the number of days since “the last President announced mission accomplished”, on a slide rule, that he saw somebody use once, while calculating nitrogen usage per acre…

BillyBob,
1) Obama has played more golf in 17 months than Bush did in 8 years. You Liberals screamed like damned souls any time Bush played golf, where’s your outrage now with a crashing economy, environmental disaster and two wars?
2) You Liberals went wild anytime Bush didn’t give his undivided attention to a crisis. Obama let this sit for 9 days while he went fundraising, attacked TEA Party people, and played golf. His Secretary of the Interior went white water rafting and then tried to pass it off as ‘job-related’.
3) Sane people continue to chant ‘Drill Baby Drill’ because it’s precisely because of YOUR Liberal Progressive polices that we have to drill in the most difficult locations to get oil. YOU won’t allow companies to drill on American soil or near the coast where spills could be much easier contained.
4) And no, there are NO forms, repeat NO forms of alternative energy yet that will easily and reasonably replace oil. So forget that stupid argument.
5) Now that Obama has his crisis, he can rescind his order opening offshore drilling which HE approved. That’s right – OBAMA approved it. It’s almost as if he was chanting, ‘Drill Baby Drill!’ But now he can un-approve it and look like the good guy. Of course, you don’t see any of the other nations stopping their offshore production.
6) You Liberal Progressives are always howling for the environment over everything else, you say pro-oil people should clean it up, why aren’t you?

Speaking of lapdog media, I note a remark about our grandparents bartering for medical care by Sue Lowden is being portrayed as her Waterloo.
Which is might be once these jackals beat it to death.
kato commented:
The country is a lot safer with the Blowhard on the golf course than in the Oval Office.
Palinfan commented:
Oh and another important point for BillyBob:
Did you see how much money Obama was getting from British Petroleum? And did you link the campaign contributions to the fact that British Petroleum got rubberstamped by this administration? It’s almost as if… why, as if…
as if Obama was IN BED WITH BIG OIL!
olm commented:
Not only is Duhobama in bed with big oil, he’s cheating on them with Wall Street while blaming the Republicans for whoring with both and smoking and golfing when the screwing is done.
This man is scum of the highest order and it WILL bite him in the a##. Look what happened to Tiger…………………….
daryl commented:
Look at that form he presents in the picture!
Eat your heart out Tiger Woods!
daryl commented:
And Billy Bob, go blow on a windmill.
See how many megawatts of electricity or gallons of gas you can produce. Lord knows if we could harness the hot air or burn the bull s**t produced by you leftists we wouldn’t need so much oil.

The Playbaby President
Babsy commented:
#24: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!!! I was truly overcome by Obama’s remarks at the memorial service for the rig crew killed in the explosion. He cares so deeply for others. Oh, wait! What? There was no memorial? That was after the coal mine disaster where the dims had a union worshipfest for The Won? You mean Obama truly IS an ass? Say it isn’t so!
Joanne commented:
Obama – the Fool in Office.
The Caffeine Talking commented:
worst president ever. move over carter.
Finncrisp commented:
What we are dealing with is perception and reality. In this case they perfectly align…
His staff also feels no compulsion to deny themselves leisure while Rome burns…
The perfect liberal reality.
Sandy from Chesterfield commented:
Does that red hat say Move On?
bobc commented:
Obama is just a mouthpiece for people like Soros, Axlerod, Rahm and all the others that just think the USA is too rich and we need to be brought down!
Elly commented:
Awww our man/child hard at work ~ it’s images like these that will stick in our minds come Nov.
Oh and yes, I *would* like to see Moonbat Obama out there with his wife, cleaning up oil. Although, I’m sure it would be from a studio in NY staged to look just like the gulf – with plastic birds, tidy gloves and everything.
“We all have to sacrifice” you know.
