Nero Fiddled, Obama Golfs

I will say one thing for Barack Obama, he is dedicated to his golf game. That is about the only thing he works on with any regularity. The country is in bad shape, the economy is in the dumper, the Gulf oil spill is still spewing gallon upon gallon of oil and Obama plays golf.

Here it is July 12^th which is 12 days later than the date we were told that BP would be sucking up 90% of the leaking oil. On June 15^th, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that there was a strategy that BP was pursuing “at the behest of the government” and that it would contain 90% of the oil by the end of June.

In other words, the White House told us that it had a plan and that it told BP to carry out this plan and that the plan would result in 90% of the oil being removed and that it would be accomplished by the end of June.

So here we are, half way through July, and the oil is not 90% contained. Obama and his regime are unengaged as Obama plays golf while his VP, Joe BiteMe goes on the Leno show.

People in the Gulf are losing their money, their businesses and their hope as well as the place they live and Obama appears unconcerned and unable to mount any effective response.

This should settle once and for all this Obama notion that government is the answer to everything and that government does it best. Our government has, according to Obama, been engaged since day one and it has failed to have any impact. From not having the proper equipment to refusing assistance that was offered by countries that know what they are doing, this regime has blown it.

Instead of fixing things the regime is interested in lawsuits and legal action.

Arizona asks for the US Army on the border (in the form of the National Guard) and instead it gets an army of lawyers filing suit against Arizona. The Gulf needs its livelihood (oil drilling) to continue but Obama has put a moratorium on drilling and is prepared to ignore a judge’s ruling overturning the moratorium.

Meanwhile, oil rigs are leaving the Gulf and won’t be back any time soon.

Things are going to hell in a hand basket and Obama fiddles on the golf course.

And when he is not doing that he is at fundraisers.

Nero had nothing on this guy…

Never surrender, never submit.
