it'd be one thing if they were both heads of BP and one of them was absent from the job.. I mean unless you want Obama to pick up a pen and play legislator for a bit I'm not sure what his golf outing really changes

OMG. I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall. His golf outing doesn't change a thing as far as getting the leak plugged, obviously. What is does do however, is anger and worry a lot of people on the gulf coasts who have been devastated by this. It's poor timing by the president to be out in public enjoying himself eating hot dogs at baseball games and hitting the links. Again, I have no issue with him enjoying some free time. Just keep it in private for now. That is all.
