Figures. WaPo Defends Obama's Tee Time But Attacked Bush For Golfing After Suicide Bombing… In Israel
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, June 14, 2010, 12:08 PM
Yesterday Barack Obama compared the Gulf oil spill to 9-11… Then he went golfing for 4 hours.
Today, the WaPo blog Post Partisan defended Obama.
Seems President Obama on Sunday compared the BP oil spill to 9/11, then went golfing for four hours. At least that’s the sort of crack reporting that Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft offered his readers yesterday. Hoft’s dismissive, one-word take: “Leadership.” My reaction: So what?
Surely even the president deserves — and probably needs — some downtime, even now. Weeks spent clearing brush back at the ranch in Hyde Park might be pushing it. But an afternoon on the back nine doesn’t bother me. And whenever Obama does take a few hours off, there will always be enough going on in the world against which to juxtapose his leisure to enable the Jim Hofts of the Internet to take their cheap shots. It was unfair when Michael Moore did this to George W. Bush. And it’s unfair for Hoft to do it to Barack Obama.
Oh really? After he just compared the oil spill to 9-11?
Of course, the Washington Post was never this easy on Bush.
In fact back in 2002 they attacked President Bush for golfing because there was a suicide bombing that day… In Israel!
And, they wonder why people don’t trust their lib paper?

It seems that “palestinian suicide bomber” has fallen of the radar since the blockade of Gaza has begun. It seems so long ago now…
B. Hussien is going to announce a new war on big energy in the USA tomorrow, I suppose the middle of a double dip recession/beginning of a depression is as good a time as any for this idiocy.
5 months until mid term elections…

No double standard here…nothing to see…move on.
OxyCon commented:
Pretty ridiculous how the Washington Post promotes and actually hires Liberal bloggers to work for them, while at the same time they pay someone to attack conservative blogs.
I think they mangled the name for this section of their blog. It should be called the “Partisan Post”

Bush playing Golf = condemnation..
Obama playing Golf = justification..
[In April, CNN ran a short article acknowledging that Obama
has already played more golf than Bush in his entire presidency.
Bush was known for his love of golf, but figures released by Mark Knoller
of CBS Radio, the unofficial White House statistician, have revealed that Obama has played golf 32 times during his presidency -- eight times more than his predecessor did during his entire tenure at the White House.
In fact, president Obama played a round as recently as last Sunday,
when his flight to Poland for the funeral of president Lech Kaczynski
was cancelled due to the volcanic ash cloud over Europe.
Where are the vicious accusations and meticulously detailed accounts in the MSM concerning where Obama was and what he's been doing during this catastrophe, which Obama is trying to push as an environmental 9/11? Instead we see benign little reports and snippets, with just a wistful hint that Obama would pony up to make reporters right about their selection of him as president of the United States. Instead Obama gets softballs like this: Obama brings "game" to golf.]
OT..

Jim, you must be getting under their skin if they are quoting you.
And I’d hold your “crack reporting” to any of these partisan hacks ANY day.
You get stories faster than anyone on the web. If anything, this Stromberg nitwit reads YOUR site to get the news.
Late to the party, Washington Post.
No wonder nobody reads your lousy paper anymore.
Dell commented:
Keep firing away, Jim. They’ll never “get it”, but the rest of the world will. When their rag is bankrupt, I’ll crack open a bottle of champagne and party like it’s 1968 in Chicago!
ExExZonie commented:
Nice mention in the paper, Jim. Of course, this blog entry will double the number of views and comments the article receives, but still… great work!

re: bg #9
btw, wasn’t Bush accused of “war mongering” every time he
had to even announce something remotely related to 9/11??
oh wait, under Obama, all those possessed by evil have returned to their underground lairs due to the fact that he called the war against Radical Islamism over.. /holy sarc B-man/
(hmmm, evidently not allowed to post the link here, oh well, where there’s
a will.. Google: the Obama talking b(fitb)s(fitb) doll & see what pops up..)

BurmaShave commented:
The Liberal media is becoming so hopelessly biased towards, and connected with, the Obama Administration that they are setting themselves up for extinction as soon as there is a major political fiasco from which they can distance neither their chosen one nor themselves.
I personally am looking forwards to when it happens, and laying in some [domestic] champagne.
Robert commented:
“Surely even the president deserves — and probably needs — some downtime, even now.”
Sure. In between the parties, the flying in chefs to make pizza, the conga lines, and having pop stars in house, Obama needs to take a break at the golf course.
As for the Post, they are not post partisan, they are partisan hacks.
Here’s another Dem hack at the post worrying more about who the kid is than a Democratic Congresscriminal commiting assault and battery.
The Washington Post is a Democratic support institution and if they had a shred of integrity left they would just come out and admit it.

Way to go, Jim!
You know you’re doing your job when the Washington Compost goes after you.
BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Actually, I am surprised Stromberg could separate his lips from his progressive messiah’s cheeks long enough to publish his diatribe. Have to commend him for that.
brooklyn commented:
It is so disgusting, how dishonest, hypocritical, vacant, contradictory, unethical, etc., these modern Democratic Partisans have become.
They all owe the Bush Administration a huge apology and then some.
Their blind devotion to the disastrous Democratic Party is sinking us all.
