Rahm Emanuel, WH Chief of Staff: BP’s CEO Tony Hayward Commits Gaffe by Yachting During Gulf Coast Oil Spill, Yet Obama Golfing is Perfectly OK

Define HYPOCRISSY … The Barack Obama Administration and Presidency!

It would appear that both BP CEO Tony Hayward and President Obama both have their life back, while the residents of the Gulf Coast are held hostage. Neither of them have plugged the damn hole, yet they both take time to enjoy life.

One would usually think, what is good for the goose is good for the gander or in the case of the BP oil spill crisis … the criticism of the BP CEO should also pertain to the President of the United States. However, not with the do as we say or criticize, not as we do Obama White House. 

Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama’s chief of staff said on ABC’s “This Week” that the BP CEO Tony Hayward has committed  another in a “long line of PR gaffes” by attending a yacht race in England while the Gulf coast oil spill disaster continues. Maybe the question that should have been asked by Jake Tapper to Obama’s Chief of Staff is what’s the difference between yachting and golfing? Both show a complete disregard to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida as the perception is that it’s business as usual and both Hayward and Obama have their life back.

Hayward faced a fresh avalanche of criticism as news circulated Saturday that he was at a yacht competition around the Isle of Wight.

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is mocking Hayward’s infamous statement that he wishes the crisis were over so could have his life back.

Referring to the yachting, Emanuel tells ABC’s “This Week,” “He’s got his life back, as he would say.”

Emanuel says the focus should stay on capping the leaking well and helping the people of the Gulf region.

CNNwas also quick to jump on the BP CEO Hayward for his yachting endeavor, but why is a CEO of a corporation held to a higher standard than President Barack Hussein Obama? Rahm Emanuel even went so far as saying that the BP exec should stay out of PR. Hmm, those advising the President who thinking golfing is perfectly ok might want to do the same.

After Hayward took a verbal pummeling on Capitol Hill last Thursday over his company’s handling of the Gulf Coast oil spill, photos surfaced Saturday of the CEO spending this weekend clad in sunglasses and a ball cap at the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race off Britain’s Isle of Wight. His 52-foot yacht “Bob” was part of the festivities.

Where is the MSM outrage that the President has no issue with continually golfing why the people of the Gulf coast region suffer on a day to day basis with the oil spill crisis and their loss of their livelihoods? After all, Obama has been out golfing much more than Hayward has been sailing. Once again Barack Hussein Obama found his way to the golf course this week end while the Gulf oil crisis continued.

President Barack Obama hit the golf course Saturday with Vice President Joe Biden.

The White House pool report noted that Obama left at about 1 p.m. for the course at Andrews Air Force base, and his golfing parters included White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson and David Katz, the energy efficiency campaign manager at the Department of Energy.

Obama left the course shortly before 6 p.m.

Nicholson and Katz, along with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, joined Obama for four hours of golf last weekend. The Republican National Committee released an ad soon afterward taking aim at Obama’s golfing during the ongoing BP oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

So if the residents of the Gulf coast are outraged by the yachting actions of BP CEO Hayward, are they also equally outraged by the continued golfing of their President who claimed he is on this crisis and devotes all his time to it? Americans probably are as they have given Barack Obama a failing grade on his handling of the BP oil spill crisis; but the MSM give Obama a pass in only demonizing BP. As the Astute Blogger stated, the entire liberal MSM ran with the story that how dare the BP CEO yacht while the Gulf coast is in poi crisis, yet hasn’t Obama taken down time as well?

EXIT QUESTION: Has Barack Hussein got his life back as well when we see him playing golf while the Gulf Coast suffers?  In the end, both Hayward and Obama are elitist who tell “the small people” in their own ways, “let them eat cake.”

International Rock Star President Barack Obama Now Seen as Incompetent and a Rank Amateur by the World

Hey Europe and the International community, how’s that Barack Obama “Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for you? It appears about the same as it is for Americans. 2012 cannot get here fast enough.

From Mort Zuckerman of US News & World Report comes this revelation regarding the “Chosen One,” Barack Hussein Obama … ‘World Sees Obama as Incompetent and Amateur’. You mean they are finally just noticing now? Let this be a lesson to America and the World, hype does not make experience, a leader or a President. It was not to long ago that Europe was rooting for a Barack Obama victory … my how The One’s image has fallen.

The reviews of Obama’s performance have been disappointing. He has seemed uncomfortable in the role of leading other nations, and often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America’s role in the world. The global community was puzzled over the pictures of Obama bowing to some of the world’s leaders and surprised by his gratuitous criticisms of and apologies for America’s foreign policy under the previous administration of George W. Bush. One Middle East authority, Fouad Ajami, pointed out that Obama seems unaware that it is bad form and even a great moral lapse to speak ill of one’s own tribe while in the lands of others.

Barack Obama’s apology tour is hardly the show of American Presidential strength that Europe and out allies were looking for. So in the end, the World did prefer a “cowboy” after all, eh? As Newsbusters reminds us, from top to bottom, the Obama Administration are legislators, not leaders and they lack the competence for the positions they hold. It is no coincidence that Obama is “Lost in Smallness” and unable to lead … he never has, why would any one have thought he suddenly could on the grandest scale?

The end result is that a critical mass of influential people in world affairs who once held high hopes for the president have begun to wonder whether they misjudged the man. They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power. For example, Obama has asserted that America is not at war with the Muslim world. The problem is that parts of the Muslim world are at war with America and the West.

Barack Obama Hits All Time Low of 41% Approve 58% Disapproval Rating in Rasmussen Poll

Holy cow Batman … President Barack Hussein Obama has hit an all time low in the most recent Rasmussen poll. The One has a total approval rating of 41% and a disapproval of 58%.OUCH!!! Obama’s poll numbers are coming a part at the seams. How long will it be before a poll shows Obama with an approval rating in the 30′s? Obama’s poll numbers were already heading downward due to Obamacare, the budget, economy and his being against the will of the people on every topic. However, the BP oil spill and his lack of handling and leadership has been his undoing.

Barack Obama’s true undoing is that he has completely lost the Independents.

Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-eight percent (58%) now disapprove.

Seventy-six percent (76%) of Democrats approve of the president’s performance. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans disapprove along with 72% of unaffiliated voters.

President Obama’s numbers have typically bounced following a national television event. Generally, they bounce up a little. Once, following a press conference, they went down. In all cases so far, the bounce has lasted a week or so and then faded.

Thirty-three percent (33%) say the president is doing a good or an excellent job handling the Gulf oil spill.  Forty-six percent (46%) say he’s doing a poor job.

The most recent Gallup poll has Obama at 45% approval and 46% disapproval.

Yikes, the Real Clear Politics average polling now has Barack Obama under water, 47.7% approve, 48% disapprove. The more the oil comes ashore in the BP oil spill, the more the polling numbers will sink. The question is, does this President have the stones to continue to golf while the Gulf coast region is facing an environmental disaster?

Who will be the brave Democrat politicians who actually ask Obama to come to their district or state to help them in their midterm election races? Watch the once enamored Democrats flee from Obama’s offers of political help for their elections.

Obama & Dems in Trouble with BP Oil Spill … Voters Say Response to Leak Important in Midterm Elections

More bad polling news for President Barack Obama and House & Senate Democrats. According to a recent Rasmussen poll,  71% of American voters rate the government’s response to the BP oil spill as somewhat important as to how they will vote in November’s midterm elections. 71%!!! 35% say that the Obama governments reaction and response to the oil spill is very important.

RUT-ROH, considering Americans have given Obama a failing grade on his respionse and leadership to the oil crisis in the Gulf and have even stated in a Democrat leaning poll, that GWB did a better job with Katrina than Obama with the BP oil spill.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of U.S. Voters rate the government’s response to the Gulf oil leak as at least somewhat important in terms of how they will vote in November, with 35% who say it is Very Important.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 27% of Likely Voters say the government’s response is not very or not at all important to their upcoming vote.

The Obama administration has come under increasing criticism for its response to the two-month-old – and continuing – oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, which President Obama has labeled the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

Barack Obama has stated he is in charge, yet he has spent more time on the golf coarse than in the Gulf. Now Obama looks to go to the Gulf coast region all the time for photo ops. Sorry Obama, you do not get a second chance to make a first impression.

The feds handling of this oil spill crisis can only be summed up as absolute shere incompetance. Thank you President Obama for your Executive Branch leadership, the voters will not forget.

Making matters worse and adding insult to further incompetance … the federal governemnt, Coast Guard, blocks the crude oil sucking barges.  This is how a disaster is managed? UNREAL!!! The Coast Guard shut down the barges. As NRO states, this is hardly a Chuchillean moment.

Eight days ago, Louisiana  Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state’s oil-soaked waters. Today, against the governor’s wishes, those barges sat idle, even as more oil flowed toward the Louisiana shore.

 ”It’s the most frustrating thing,” the Republican governor said today in Buras, La. “Literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting all of these barges.”

Finally the barges were allowed to go do their jobs, 16 of them allowed to finally work 8 DAYS LATER!!!

President Obama claims in his words that he is in charge, but his actions and the CLUSTERF#$K going on in the Gulf coast region show quite a different thing. The more this crisis goes on, the more one just has to scratch their head is disbelief at the Presidental leadership in this fiasco.

Obama & BP Oil Spill Crisis:RNC Releases New Ad … In Charge or On the Golf Course or Over His Head

The Barack Obama handling of the BP oil spill in the Gulf has been an “Obamination” …

Take a good look why so many Americans on the LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER and FAR LEFT are upset with President Barack Obama and his almost nonchalant attitude toward the greatest environmental disaster in American history. Why did it and does it take so long for this President to act? What we have here is not a failure of Obama to communicate, but a failure of leadership.

More scathing commentary from Hot Air about an out to lunch President that is in way over his head and now looks to the MSM for direction. AsInstapundit asks, “How many rounds did you golf while the oil was leaking, champ?”

The more trenchant RNC attack on The One today comes via Byron York, who spotlights this clever cause-and-effect list of Obama appearing to blindly follow whatever dopey conventional wisdom about the spill has captured the media’s imagination from day to day. It’s too good to excerpt; read it all and wonder no longer where that supposedly spontaneous “whose ass to kick” comment came from.

Where has this hands off President been during this crisis? It is obvious he was not on it since the beginning and if he actually was, how damning a commentary is that? Where has this President been in leadership and accepting help and advice from others outside his lockstep liberal administration? Oh wait, Obama finally lines up some foreign help for the BP oil spill … too bad it is 53 days after the Dutch offered it. Unreal, how is that Presidential Obama “Hopey, Changey” leadership working out for you America? Michelle Malkin sums it up perfectly … STUCK ON STUPID!

Three days after the Gulf oil rig explosion, the Netherlands offered to send in oil skimmers to pump oil off of the surface of the ocean. The Obama Administration turned them down because they were not 100% efficient and small amounts of oil would be pumped back into the Gulf with the excess water. EPA regulations do not allow for residue water to contain any oil. So rather than use equipment that was not 100% efficient the Obama Administration chose to let all of the oil run into the Gulf.
This is not just bad policy, it is criminal.

Can you only imagine the help the Dutch could have provided to the Gulf coast if they were allowed by Obama to start from the outset of this crisis? Barack Obama, a colossal failure to lead.
