After Weekend of Golf & Baseball… Obama Will Attend BBQ Today
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, June 21, 2010, 5:57 AM
Barack Obama announced back on May 14, 2010 that,
“I will not rest until the leak has stopped.“
… Except, of course, for the ball games, golf, vacations, parties, more golf…
And today’s BBQ.
Remember…. The Gulf Oil Spill Is Like 9-11.

“I will not rest until the leak was stopped.“
To be fair, sometimes vacationing is more tiring than work. So from a Democrat “what does is mean” perspective, he hasn’t actually violated his promise.
bitterclinger commented:
Let me be clear. I won. I fulfilled my part of the bargain. Now, Rahm and George and John (Podesta) said they’d take it from here. I’m livin’ large!
olm commented:
I guess I never watched very closely but it sure seems like Obama has more leisure time than work time and the world seems in crises mode. Has there ever been a more partying pres?
That really is a serious question although I’m not sure there is an answer.

Really demonstrates that he is just the front man of this machine.
Callipygian1 commented:
He’s waiting for a crisis that is worthy of his attention.
Betsy Ross commented:
What are they serving at the BBQ? The gulf states that voted Republican, skewered, marinated in oil with a heaping helping of sludge on the side just for good measure.
Kevin P commented:
Come on now – be fair! He needs to recuperate from all those strenuous fund-raisers!
Trinket59 #4 – hit the nail on the head!!!
Jennifer commented:
Nero fiddles while Rome burns, no truer words have ever been spoken.
Sandy commented:
Now that Obama successfully made Tony Hayward the fall guy for all this — then brought BP to its knees — for him the Oil Crisis is over. Those little people who are hurt by all this don’t even make his radar screen.
Agent99 commented:
How could I possibly top what Sandy @ # 11 said??
TC Monroe commented:
Will Oilbama bring a sauce made from sweet crude oil? I hear it’s mighty tasty if prepared right.
kate commented:
Remember how scrawny he used to be? They’ll have to roll him out of the Winter Palace in 2013.
(Vision of hell–The happy family back in Chi-Town with Michelle haranguing you all the livelong day over the last piece of bbq you ate.)
Jim commented:
As to all the criticism that Osama Obama has received from the right, he stated, “I will not leak, until the rest have stopped.”
I fell so much better now.

He is detestable, and Joe Barton is right. Now they are trying to extort money from Arizona. By the way Barry, your real legitimate bc is in the hands of the court. You were born in Kenya, and you’re Indonesian. You should have told your friends Soros, and Ayers sorry, when they asked you to be your puppet. You’re going to PRISON!

I will not rest until the liberals are stopped.
Sen. Fuller Bull - D commented:
“Daddy, when you gonna plug that hole?”
“As soon as they bring me my plate of BBQ, sweetie.”

Yeah, when the dry-cleaners mess up the crease in his pants.

Let them eat arugula!

What is arugula? If you eat it; does it make you stupid?

“Daddy, why didn’t you spend Fathers Day with us”?
Why did you play golf and avoid the family? A lot of boys and girls didn’t see their daddy on Fathers day.
nelli commented:
Daddy’s been trying to plug the hole, honey. With a Titleist.
JKB commented:
I’d come to the conclusion that Obama was skipping his chores to go play instead. He was out golfing and playing with the Beatles when he was needed to keep the EPA from dithering over which pre-approved dispersant they liked this week, waiving the Jones act, accepting international assistance, etc.
So I googled “skipping chores going swimming” for a video or something to illustrate.
Hilariously, this in #2 on the google hit parade:
First Chores? You Bet.
Seems daddy needs to practice what he preaches.
Big Al commented:
#25 – Win.

The ‘Paralyzing’ Principle
The Gulf disaster rehabilitates a discredited idea.
[This same mentality is now prompting not merely tighter safety standards, but President Obama's moratorium on all new deep water drilling, shutting down dozens of Gulf and Alaskan projects, maybe permanently. Last month, 26 Democrats demanded that the government fold up BP's other major Gulf operation, Atlantis, "to ensure that the explosion and mishap of the Horizon platform are not replicated."
Meanwhile, Governor Charlie Crist and other Florida politicians want a Gulf drilling ban unto eternity, and the California, Washington and Oregon Senate delegations want one for the West Coast too. "Without a permanent ban on drilling off our shores," said Dianne Feinstein, "there is no guarantee whatsoever that this will not happen again."
In other words, the precautionary principle is back with a vengeance. The irony is that the figure most responsible for dismantling its premises, Cass Sunstein, is now a member of the Obama Administration.
[..]
“Precautions cannot be taken against all risks,” Mr. Sunstein elaborated
in his 2005 monograph “Laws of Fear,” “not for the important but less interesting reason that resources are limited, but simply because efforts
to redress any set of risks might produce risks of their own.”
[..]
Mr. Sunstein’s insight is that there are risks on all sides of a question—doing nothing can be dangerous, but acting might be more dangerous—so the only rational way to judge regulation is to quantify the costs and benefits.[.Mr. Sunstein has rarely been heard in public since he joined the Administration, and his "nudge" philosophy to encourage better choices in no way influenced the health-care bill. Perhaps he'd care to speak up now? With the reinvigoration of the precautionary principle, the country could use a little empiricism.]

Joanne commented:
The BP exec gets major ribbing for attending a yacht race after 60 days of trying to deal with the oil leak, when Obama is partying and playing golf the whole time. Where is the outrage on the left for Obama’s behaviour? crickets, as usual
Red Chalkton commented:
More golf please!! This guy knows how to loaf through armageddon – that he created. At least his handlers approve of his time on the links, as seen here:
