You guys are missing my point so badly. All I'm saying is he should be more tactful about the publicity of his leisure time when millions of Americans are suffering from such an awful crisis right here on US soil. Perception is reality. If your visibly enjoying a nice round of 18 holes while that sucker continues to spew, it doesn't send right impression. If I'm wrong, then why is the press all over him for it?

No, I didn't miss it. He needed the bull horn to make it legit.

The press is on him because it's a story, right or wrong they are going to blow it up because it's a good headline. The press making a story out of something really doesn't speak to the matter very much to me.

I guess you felt the same way when Bush was getting pounded by the press for his response to Katrina. Ok, I know your answer. Bush did not respond quick enough etc........

Well, usually I feel the same way. I think in this case however, he does deserve some criticism about his response and the whole golfing/baseball game thing. Of course, I hope he succeeds with his efforts at getting the well plugged and helping all the poor families and businesses getting crushed by this thing.

All the news reports and pictures are so upsetting.

I mean it's not like the oil spill is the ONLY thing that they're focusing on in the White House. He doesn't spend 6 hours a day on it I'm pretty sure.

He probably has not spent 6 hours on it in a given week/month. Thats the problem.

Oh you've been there, cool. Strange since he employs you that you hate him so much.

I mean I don't mind so much saying it's frustrating seeing him enjoying himself but to parallel that to "I want my life back" Heyward seems unfair. Yeah Heyward, the people working on the recovery effort want their lives back, the people in the region and affected by it want their lives back, etc. Maybe your time in FL makes you feel stronger about the issue with the President than maybe myself?

Well just in Iran has offered to help Obama with the oil spill saying its a humanitarian effort. Will it be a hoot if Obama accepts thier help after turning down so many other offers for help.

Also a federal judge said that the other offshore rigs can start drilling again and lifted Obama's 6 month ban on drilling.

this is probably why he isnt living at the diaster





"Also, did you see, President Obama is being criticized for what he had on. When he was standing at the shoreline there, he had on fancy pants and a fancy shirt. Look, what other critics are saying, is that 80% of public perception is image. Not what you say. And he should have had on, like what Thad Allen has on next to him. Something that looked like he was a little bit more at the scene."
Obama has also been called out for his footwear, donning sneakers instead of shrimp boots to visit the gulf coast. What do you think? What should the President wear to an oil spill?
taken from fox news
and to compare the 2 diasters is crazy. Katrina demanded a quicker response because lives were at stake. he NEEDED to be faster.

OH so lives are not at stake here. Tell that to the people who are slowly loosing their lives.

i never said that lives aren't at stake. but during the Katrina disaster, the response time had to be immediate, because people were literally drowning. and that's why W was hammered. that, and the fact he had an unqualified friend running FEMA

You actually watch FOX news?

Katerina = Mother Nature.

Oil Spill = Man made disaster.

Jorge Bush = Jackasss Puppet

President Hussein = Jackass Puppet that gives a good speech.

BP did this on purpose so they can get their cap-and-tax legislation through. Open your eyes. It's a lie!

I wonder if the marine life in the gulf like all that change. Can we oil up the gulf to get our climate change legislation through? Yes we can!
