Barack Obama was briefed on Hurricane Irene today. Then he went golfing.
The Cape Cod Times reported, via Free Republic:
After spending the entire day sequestered at his Blue Heron Farm vacation estate President Barack Obama finally emerged this afternoon to take in some golf at Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard Haven.
The golf course is a nine-hole course. Along the way to the course, a girl standing with her family by the side of the road in Vineyard Haven held up a sign to the presidential motorcade, “Good luckgolfing,” according to press reports.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the president was briefed today on the latest developments with Hurricane Irene, which may churn up the Eastern Seaboard. He says FEMA is also coordinating with state and local officials.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Irene strengthened to a major Category 3 storm over the Bahamas today.

Let’s just save time here and made a one sized fits all headline:
“Obama Briefed on (fill in blank)- Goes Golfing”
Rinse
Repeat
Hedgehog commented:
More headwinds. The only thing he cares about is whether the storm will interrupt his vacation. Chump.
Conservative Ken commented:
He’s only in the White House to sign off on the Soros agenda. Obama knows his job is to see to the needs of the one’s paid good money for the office. After that, every day is a weekend.
YeeeHaw!

Oh look SNORIN’ SUPPOSITORY is here!! Hi clown boy!!! Get off of your knees, Opie isn’t going to let you blow him.
saveus commented:
his approval rating rises when he golfs so he’ll just stay there
Bunni commented:
Maybe if we’re lucky will hit the place where obummer is staying and drag him out to sea, where he’ll be lost forever! Plus, when moochie pulls herself away from the table scarfing down lobster, she’ll cause a tidal wave and be lost at sea with him!
Got Billy Ayers on Speed Dial commented:
I wonder if Obama will reenact that one scene in Caddy Shack. lol
Contessa61 commented:
Gotta get that game in before the rain comes.
Estragon commented:
As Irene strengthened again, Obama fizzled to a Category 0 (“flatulence in windstorm”).
Say, if he just resigned now, he could play golf every day and we’d never have to hear about it. Talk about a “win-win proposition” . . .
big L commented:
Is that the Eric Whitacre that is CEO of Second Generation Energy corp? It is some kin d of solar power co.Filling Obama with ideas on how great it is, no doubt.
Sandy commented:
That picture of Obama kind of reminds me of Driving Miss Daisy.
ohiochili commented:
OMG! What will happen to the Imperial Vacation???
They have already formed a committee to pick an alternate spot for messiah and family to finish their upper-crusty time away. They will release an outline in the near future, however, the messiah will not be directly involved with the planning, but he will contribute ideas.
lee commented:
Do you morons think that Obama can stop an approaching hurricane? Let the man finish his vacation. I don’t see Eric Cantor doing any differently.
carlito commented:
Don’t worry, Dim Jim.
I’m sure your buddy Pat Robertson will stop the hurricane with his mighty power of prayer.
MustComment commented:
#30: Eric Cantor isn’t our president. AND it’s not that O could stop the hurricane – duh… It’s that this Imposter-in-Chief is always conveniently on vacation when anything (major or minor) is going on in the USofA.
Worst. President. EVER.
J commented:
Just to sound really nutty…..rare east coast earthquake, great white sharks circling the island and now a hurricane on path to small, vulnerable island with potus playing on it…..nature is throwing everything it has at this man.
Stuart commented:
I highly recommend he take the opportunity to go sailing off of Martha’s Vineyard this weekend.
It would SO give him that John Kennedy mystique. And the weather is so lovely there this time of year.
Nate commented:
Even while on vacation, he has a better response than Bush did to Katrina.
