Beaches closed in Louisiana..
Officials closed the public beach here Friday as thick gobs of oil resembling melted chocolate washed up, a very visible reminder of the blown-out well that has been spewing crude into the Gulf of Mexico for a month.
Up to now, only tar balls and a light sheen had come ashore. But oil was starting to hit the beach at this island resort community in various forms – light sheens, orange-colored splotches and heavier brown sheets – said Chris Roberts, a local official who surveyed the area Friday morning.
Obama hits the links at St. Andrews Air Force Base
President Barack Obama took to the golf course on Saturday after returned from delivering the commencement address at West Point.
The president teed off at the Andrews Air Force Base course with three other people, according to a pool report, but only one could be identified: White House trip director Marvin Nicholson.
Golf is a frequent weekend pastime for Obama. The president headed to the course almost immediately after disembarking from Air Force One.

The most important thing is that our President is relaxed and well rested. Following a very close second is the national media's need to rest for the entire Obama presidency. They had a very strenuous 8 years badgering GW Bush and they need to rest now.
Besides, Obama the Merciful is captaining the ship and he is good. No need for any bothersome questions

Jesus H Christ, he's golfing AGAIN???? He already played more golf than Bush did in 8 years.
Fucking clown is making a mockery of this country. It's bad when wonder lib Chris Matthews has lost the tingle in his leg and James Carville is publicly kicking your balls in.
Fore!!!!!

You can do that when you're just the PR guy for the left-wing extremists to whom he's delegated day-to-day operations.
He's a figurehead, after all...

Neither special interest group can give us a puppet that works for America. Leave the presidents chair empty for four years and we will fix the country ourselves.
How much longer can we survive as a nation playing ping pong with these fools?

Actually yes there would still have been a large need for FEMA. Did you expect those people to move back into flooded homes? How about rebuilding the local infrastructure? FEMA was intended to help with that and much more. Duh.... Now its the end of story.

I guess your forgetting Bush's record breaking vacation days. More than any other president if I remember correctly. Including the month vacation he was on when Katrina happened.

Just keep golfing, remember these words? "no watch my drive". Dubya. Or keep reading the poor little blue goat as the towers came down. The prez is just a man a figure head, he has to play golf, it stimulates the economy. Have you seen how much a set of golf clubs cost. A driver? well plus balls, and green fees, cart rental, beers at the 19th hole. Keep on golfing and remember those golf carts are electric.

I guess Obama is expected to be out on the beaches cleaning up the oil or putting on a scuba equipment to plug the leak?

GW Bush was expected to be the nanny president, governor and mayor during Katrina. Everything was GW Bush's fault -- Remember?
The Liberal Democrat LA Governor and inept Mayor Nagin were not held responsible for their TOTAL Mismanagement...
Rememeber?
How idiot Liberal quickly forget their mantras when one of their own is in office -- and failing.

No shit. Ray Nagin, he of "we're a chocolate city" fame, was the biggest douche bag and malcontent before, during, and after Katrina and he was followed by a close second place by Kathleen Blanco the Democrat governor and fuck up deluxe.
Bommer1 is too stupid and dizzy after pulling his head out of Obama's lap to remember.

That is what happens when you place some incompetent asshole in charge of FEMA whose pretty much sole experience was running the International Arabian Horse Association.
And no one insinuated everything was Bush's fault, but the federal govt F'ed up badly when it came to Katrina. Thanks to Bush's appoint of Michael Brown. The fact that those other two douches were reelected shows the stupidity of the LA voter.

where were you faggits when GWB went golfing all of 12 times during his 2 terms? -Crying all over the leftist propaganda media that he was not on the job. All this dirty SOB does is golf, basketball and party -after reading his teleprompter, what a useless POS.
