Obama: Play golf or save the Gulf
HUMAN EVENTS
The Republican Party has been very careful not to politicize the Gulf oil spill and President Obama’s reaction to it, letting the American people judge based on his actions alone. But even without politicization, Obama’s poll numbers have fallen, and even Democratic party leaders James Carville and Terry McAuliffe have criticized his response.
RNC spokesman Doug Heye tells HUMAN EVENTS that the GOP “had not said anything about the spill. No press releases, no tweets” from April 20 (when the oil rig exploded) until Obama met with BP executives.
But, after the meeting, the RNC responded by posting this video which give a clear timeline of the president’s actions in the Gulf. The video is now the RNC’s most watched of this election cycle. Watch:
“What we’ve seen so far from the president sets a bad tone — golf games, Beatles concerts and another vacation this weekend — meanwhile oil spews into the Gulf and the American people want the leak plugged,” Heye says.
To make this point, the RNC launched a website on Monday – “Play Golf or Save the Gulf?” –which asks readers: “Which 5 of the President’s leisure activities or missteps during this environmental disaster have made you the most angry?”
The interactive site allows Americans to chose from 13 “leisure activities or missteps” made by Obama since the BP spill. After sliding your five top choices to the list, you can then share them on Facebook and Twitter.
For my “Play Golf or Save the Gulf?” personal page, I chose these five options:
1. Instead of attending a memorial service for the eleven workers killed, Obama flew to California to raise funds for Barbara Boxer
2. Obama turned down 13 countries that offered to help us clean up the Gulf
3. Obama let 10 days pass before sending any Cabinet-level officials to Louisiana’s coast
4. Obama went golfing ten times since the explosion in the Gulf
5. Obama originally denied Louisiana officials permission to build up barrier islands between the coast’s marshes and the gulf
Heye says the purpose of the website is to “demonstrate that the administration’s nonchalant response to the greatest ecological disaster in our nation’s history is not working for the American people.”
