White House: Obama's Golf Outings "Does Us All Good" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, June 21, 2010, 9:43 PM
The White House bashed BP CEO for taking his son on a yacht this weekend but defended Obama’s seventh golf outing since the Deepwater Horizon explosion 63 days ago.
“I think that a little time to himself on Father’s Day weekend probably does us all good.”
Praise be to Dear Leader. We are so blessed.
Remember: The BP oil spill is just like 9-11.
Thank you, Dear Leader.
Thank you for blessing us with your golf addiction.

wonder if it ever ever dawned on the dalibama to spend a little time on fathers day with his KIDS…
Mitch commented:
Just for the record, it was Father’s Day Sunday… I wasn’t aware that Obama was supposed to work 7-day weeks. In fact, most people don’t work 7-day weeks.
Paul_In_Houston commented:
Since he’s probably doing less damage to us when he’s on the golf course, shouldn’t we be encouraging him to play more?

Mitch #2, even excluding Father’s Day, Obama has golfed way too much. Plus, why can’t the BP CEO go to a yachting event? Is he supposed to work 7 days a week? There’s no excuse for the amount of golf Obama has played this far into his present-idency.
wanumba commented:
Guess Obama is going to play golf until we all cry, “Uncle!”
WHo’s going to break first? Republicans? Tea Partiers? Libertarians? Living Green Upper Middle Class Democrats? or environmental wackos who’ve been dancing naked on sidewalks for all the little creatures?
Where’s Sean Penn and his boat? Where’s that dumb actress who was crying about Governor Palin allowing a wolf cull to save the caribou and thus save the Alaskan tribal people? WHere’re all those actors and actresses intoning , “I care”?
Where ARE they? Yelling at BP while Obama blocks booms and siphons and separators, blocks barges to count life jackets, demands $20 billion from BP – money that could be used to ramp up efforts to plug the leak?
Obama is blithely golfing, occupying himself with caddied and waited on comforts because he’s strangling the Gulf to death to make us all capitulate.

In Websters beside the word ‘TOOL’ is a picture of Bill Burton. Of all the king’s men, he just might be the most nauseating of them all.
Opus #6 commented:
DEPUTY press secretary? We don’t even rate the REAL press secretary anymore???
And what in the world is he talking about. Oh, should we be grateful that Obama is ONLY going golfing, and not flying around in Air Force 1 costing taxpayers millions per trip. Yes, we are grateful. And grating our teeth!

Ear Leader didn’t spend Father’s Day with the kids because they aren’t his…..
even if he did have enough testosterone in his body to produce viable sperm, who could get an erection with the First Klingon? face it, even a turkey baster would likely wilt near her.
no matter what Bush did, the press and pundits complained.
no matter what the First Naif does, the press and the pundits defend him.
anyone notice a difference?
Pat the First commented:
I don’t care if B.O. goes golfing, but he better be working when he isn’t on the golf course. Unfortunately, I am fairly sure he does very little work. He leaves his obligations to his minions. He is always running off somewhere if he isn’t playing golf or playing basketball. It really doesn’t appear that he ever spends much time with his family, does it?
And Father’s Day was on Sunday . . . why wasn’t he at church with his family?
The libs/Dems still blast President Bush for vacations that he took to Crawford. However, they just seem to want to disregard that people said that they were always a working vacation. He was always working . . . always when he wasn’t out clearing land. We learned that very early on in his presidency.
Can you imagine ever seeing a picture of B.O. doing any physical labor . . . let alone any kind of work . . . period?
You never hear about B.O. working during his vacations. He truly vacations. He is great for wasting time.
jonyjoe101 commented:
He is suppose to be the president, yes he is suppose to work 7 days a week. When the hole is plugged he can play golf.
At least he should have walk his dog so he can look presidential.

Rachelle commented:
Obama should spend ALL of his time golfing. We would be safer.
kato commented:
Institutionalized black asskissing. Smooch smooch.
Imagine if it was George W. Bush rather than the biggest jive act in American history.
But Rachelle is right. Keep the dope on the golf course.
Estragon commented:
Sorry, Mitch, but you can take your double standards, fold ‘em five ways, and put ‘em where the sun don’t shine. Bush was criticized for playing golf the day after a suicide bomber attacked in Israel, and pilloried for his golfing and vacations.
Obama has already, in only 17 months, played twice as many rounds of golf as Bush played in EIGHT YEARS, and all I hear is crickets chirping now from the big complainers then. No free passes – especially after he promised to be working constantly, to treat it as top priority, that it was an environmental 9/11 and the first think he thinks about in the morning and the last at night.
Between his vacations, golfing, “date nights”, and lavish White House parties, he doesn’t have any time to get any work done, not that he is qualified to do any of what is needed.

I’m not. And MO ain’t his Frau either.

The CEO of bp was taken out of day to day operations of the spill and the capping procedure, and replaced. He can go yachting all he wants now, on the other hand Obama is still supposed to be in charge. Now we hear that Obama was asked for help in Feb. by BP because the well was fracturing. This my friends was 2 weeks before the final disaster, what if anything did Obama do. No I’m afraid that the whole disaster is laid at the feet of the most evil Precedent in our history. Go play golf you big eared fool and shoot your 120, you are less dangerous on the links. Oh and he wasn’t in “church” because there is no Mosque in Washington.
jainphx commented:
Oh by the way Bill Burton was right, Obama has no LEGAL authority to make BP pay anything. This is nothing but a slush fund that will be administered by Obama’s pay Csar. How convenient.

wanumba commented:
If Obama is off vacationing all the time, does that mean Bill Ayers is shadow POTUS?
SOMEONE is calling the shots – at the WHite House while Obama is occupied.
The Lousiana photo-op clinched it. AT millions of tax-payer dollars to flit him there, Obama was there an hour, pensively pinching sand, squatting down, shirt sleeves rolled up as if he was DOING SOMETHING and the pix were so crowded of the crowd next to him, they had to practically cut his elbow off to get everyone out of the “lonesome” “buck stops with me” “I can’t suck it up with a straw tear-jerking” shot. Most worthless on-site visit of a big mucky-muck ever.
Obama, male model, POTUS. We are screwed.

Bill Blurton (White House Deputy Press Secretary):
I don’t think there is a person in this huge country of 57 states, that doesn’t think that President Barack should have a little time to clear his mind after doing so much Coke. It does us all good.
Look, after week of Chicago style shake down politics, including High Jacking BP for $20 billion in campaign payola, twisting the ethics rules, going to Ohio to see the progress that being made Gerrymandering the districts, plus the horrible the double boogies on the golf course before Axelrod change Barack’s score card, it does all of us, including SEIU members, good to see the President play golf.
SEIU provided all of the Limousine service, black salted caviar, golf carts and the caddies. So, we were happy with all the money.
No, Barack did not cheat; he just adjusted his score card to reflect his new handicap. That is not cheating that is what we call organizing!
Might I remind you that because of the massive spending programs on streets signs and so on, there is a new road in Orlando Florida name Pres. 0bama Porkway. You can get there by going left of ACORN Way and making a U-turn at Barney Frank’s bathhouse.
There is a short cut by first going up Barney Frank’s alley, paying a small donation, and entering the rear – if get what I mean. I think most of Barney STDs will be there.
Let’s Move On.

I agree with Paul in Houston, lets keep him golfing, basketball playin, fishing, checkers, bingo nights – whatever it takes to keep him out of the Oval Office, and maybe we’ll be able to save our country until we can hand him his pink slip and he can crawl back under the rock he came from.

PELOSI EXCUSE FAILS:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., recently blamed Bush appointees who “burrowed in” at the Minerals Management Service for the regulatory failures that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster. But as it turns out, not one of the officials responsible for overseeing the exploded rig was a Bush political appointee.
http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/101588/
The Washington Examiner has obtained biographic information on the MMS officials responsible for overseeing BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig at the time it exploded, from the Gulf Region Director to the last inspector to set foot on the rig. Most of these federal employees started with the agency decades ago. Not one was a presidential appointment of George W. Bush, although one longtime MMS employee in question was promoted to his current position during the Bush Administration.
jainphx commented:
In my post’s above I meant Joe Barton and not Bill Burton, I think they trotted him out instead of the real idiot, just to confuse us. actually it was just me that got confused.
jenny commented:
It never occurred to him to spend the day with his kids. It is all about him. On the other hand, when he’s on the golf course he’s not busy screwing up something else.
UpChuck.Liberals commented:
I’m guessing that if we could arrange a OilBumma world golf tour we couldn’t get Biden, Reid & Pelosi to go with him. That would be a foursome I’d love to get out of the country.
