-Short Attention Span Theater-
First things first: Obean goes golfing
Why doesn't he just step down rather than drag this out?
In a sign that spring is nearing in Washington, President Obama hit the golf course Saturday.
Poor guy needs a break from all the socials at the WH lately.

Maybe he'd do something about it if someone told him Kadaffy was going to desecrate the golf course there with the dead bodies of the rebels.

To be fair, if Obama was doing his job most of us wouldn't care if he hit the links on a gorgeous Saturday spring day. Plenty of men and women do that. Of course, they get their work done...

#1  Perhaps Obama's decisions would be better if he stopped golfing and re-started him drinking hobby.

Interior appeals oil drilling ruling

The Obama administration late Friday appealed a judge's orders directing the Interior Department to act on several Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling permits.

The appeal is the latest salvo in the ongoing fight over the speed with which Interior is – or isn't – letting oil drillers get back to work after last year's BP oil spill.

#1  this is a real winner for Teh One ™ and his genius handlers, including that prick Ken Salazar. Deny or impede permits for domestic production as gas goes over $4/gallon. Gonna be a loooong hot summer. I hope he feels the heat and Americans have longer attention spans into 2012

#2  Things are getting out of hand now. What will happen should regular go to 5.50/gallon and diesel goes to 6.00/ gallon as projected by fuel distributors?. We have a revolution going on now. Crime is on the rise. Stealing fuel at home or at work. B & E burglaries daily. Just talk to law enforcement in your area. Most crimes are not reported. Prime target is anywhere money can be gotten. Most of the new crime involves beginners.

#4  AH HI!; Nixon was president at that time. O reminds me of the Carter years more(1976). Nixon had a war with the Washington post and the post won. The Nixon Kennedy debate was rigged against Nixon also. The Carter years had trouble with the media also but nowhere near what they did to Nixon. Double digit inflation and gas rationing and so on. Carter was a smart man but tried to do everything himself just as he has done after leaving office. He has his faults but he is strong minded.

#5  Carter Energy Plan;

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/primary-resources/carter-energy/

Its a good read. Made me think of Newt Gingrich a little.

#6  Didn't the Federal Judge hold the Interior Dept in contempt? Isn't ignoring a Federal Judge a failure on an IQ test? What a bunch of yo-yo's.

#7  What this really is, is a Constitutional crises. The second one he now faces.
