In the morning, President Obama will receive the Presidential Daily Briefing in the Oval Office. Later, the president will attend a reception for the Federal Judge Association at the White House.

Mr. Obama will meet with senior advisers in the Oval Office. The president will then participate in the daily briefing call with Gulf Coast Governors on the BP oil spill.

In the afternoon, Mr. Obama will welcome Prime Minister Saad Hariri of Lebanon to the White House…

Later, Mr. Obama will host a reception to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the East Room.

I can’t decide if the correct analogy is “fiddling while Rome burns”, or “Masque of the Red Death”....

to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the East Room.

..and to make sure the next level of concrete is poured on the BC issue

So has Jindal had a daily opportunity to hammer on Obama about speeding up the help—but O hasn’t been bothered to deliver? I’m curious as to whether or how long these calls have been going on and how hard Jindal’s been pushing. Sounds like Barbour would have been involved if these calls really have been taking place, and in a position to speak out nationally, but he hasn’t, has he?

So much partying, so little time! What’s a couple to do...resign and go back to Chicago?

Obama is not going to be to hard on oil companies, it hurts the countries he loves the most.

I am even starting to here people on the left complain about the U.S. not helping BP get the oil turned off, and I would agree with them on this one. There will be plenty of time to point fingers later. But now - noooo make that weeks ago we should of been applying the full industrial might of the United States just 30 miles away from the leak to get it stopped. Instead our government announces commissions, and fly in helicopters over marshlands. None of which will get a single drop of oil turned off.

“Later, Mr. Obama will host a reception to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the East Room.”

In other words....F*ck America and Her Heritage.

Sound any different than Barry’s pastor?

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

Can someone find how many parties Obama had in the White House since moving in?

[mfish13]

Parties or Golfing, he is laser -like focused on fixing jobs, oil spills, health care, etc.

"Can someone find how many parties Obama had in the White House since moving in?"

If anyone can do this, it would be great to have the $$$$$ spent.

The continuous Wednesday night parties - are they held in the White House - or is that date night out with Michelle? Who pays for the date nights?

Party Hearty

Wow I am surprised he has the energy for a party after his exhausting day of GOLF.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- Kommander ZerØ's "_residency" is a laughable mixture of:

And "Movin' On Up!"

Unfortunately,

[hosepipe]

O'Biden just loves problems to milk and/or create.. and then milk..
Palin had to FORCE... BP to drill in Alaska.. must've pissed them off..
Then what... all of a sudden a drilling disaster in the Gulf..

Pretty convient I think..
BP doesnt want other States forcing them to DRILL...
You know... drilling on the leases they CONTROL so nobody ELSE can drill on them..

NCD...You make a great point.

.I hope I have the story correct. GM was given the plans to manufacturer the Roll Royce Engine in the P-51, as a 2nd source during and for WWII. Within 24 hours they made casting molds and or forgings and had an engine assembled and running in the test stand.

Where is that can do spirit and resources with a POTUS that doesn't get our greatness or will not tap it.

The "Mole'" sauce at that party the other night should be a metaphor for the oil in the gulf and what is truly important to this very small man (Obama).

This metaphor should be used this fall. They cared more about opulence and their ruling status than the national will which crosses party lines or used to. They care more about an oil colored sauce than the oil in the Gulf and how it will effect us all.

In the words of the movie Space Balls, we have reached ludicrous speed...
