Screencap from yesterday interview demonstrating how hard presidentin’ really is.
This interview was given yesterday, oil-kill day 36
yeah, we know about fundraisers and trips to Chicago and skipping Memorial Day
but this is a new level of entitlement. Notice in the caption text – he doesn’t say “I don’t get to play lately” – just not quite that often.
You dirty, dirty spill! messing with Oprecious’s game!
The video is here
You will enjoy the opening sequence with the ball with the presidential seal on it and Oprecious name on it.
But it was that particular line
these days I play once about two or three weeks
that made an impression on me – why with the 38 days since an ecological disaster is unfolding.
Reminds me of W cutting on sweets as his war effort. But in light of his renewed – today – pledge of not resting till the oil-kill is stopped, this interview taken yesterday a way even more arrogant and clueless.

And golf. Somewhere I read that the disaster hasn’t stopped his golf game either. Interviews with sportscasters, a lavish State Dinner with a super-duper lazer light show for the dance party on the south lawn, 2 trips to CA, and he even managed to spare some time to have the gray washed out of his hair too! Presidenting is hard wurk, but at least he has the presidential seal to keep him warm.
The spin:
President Obama to Cancel Offshore Drilling Projects; “The President’s Eyes Have Been Opened” About the Risks

I knew it. As soon as I heard the new angle Carville started pitching last night, I knew the WH had gottn to him, and the new talking point was going to be … “not his fault, Obama was misled!”

I was wrong, there’s no new spin, just the same BS. Arrgh. “The entire response effort by BP is being directed by the Feds.” ???? He’s bragging about that???
I don’t know how much more of this loathsome man’s blatherings I can take, but I’d like to make it to the end of the questions.

And yes, details from that Bay Area /San Francisco /Getty Mansion round-trip stunt are appaling!
I really don’t care, if Getty is no longer in the oil business; for Obama to have dinner at the Getty Mansion, at this point is so unproper and tone-deaf.
But once again the fratboy gets to show that, neener-neener I won; I’m the President! And did I mention I’m black? So no-one will criticize me.

Totally tone-deaf. But the self-indulgent snob has always gotten away with it, maybe his response to this catastrophe will finally change that. I hope.
Second question—>Tapper wants to know why he didn’t send in the super tankers to suck up the oil. He’s floundering, no real answer. “They might have been redundant, mistakes were made, blah, blah, blah.”

“…maybe his response to this catastrophe will finally change that.”
I doubt it cj, and believe that he/his handlers will make quite sure that he doesn’t “commit” until the “leak” has been stopped and the well shut down for sure. Then, and only then, will he take and get credit for succesfully solving the problem!
If the “top kill” works out, his visit tomorrow could be turned in to look like a triumphant victory lap!
