The third largest economy in the world has just had an earthquake that has decimated villages across their country. Two nuclear reactors are in danger of a meltdown. Thousands of people are missing. Thousands are presumed dead. Since the 8.9 earthquake that rocked Japan there has been over 20 aftershocks that has registered better than a 6. There are four whole trains that are simply gone. Nobody knows where they are. Catastrophic devastation.
And of course the Middle East continues to basically burn. Libya is basically in a civil war and countries from Egypt to Saudi Arabia continue to deal with protesters.
The U.S. - Mexico border is a war zone. Greta Van Susteren reports on this seemingly nightly and had this to say on GretaWire:
Let me repeat it: THERE IS A WAR GOING ON IN MEXICO, ON OUR BORDER!! President Obama needs to pay more attention to this crisis. It is as bad as any other hot spot in the world and it is right next door!
Death threats against Republican senators in Wisconsin are a daily occurrence. No word from the leftists like Pelosi and other shitheads who were terrified when the Tea Party organized peacefully during the health care debacle. Anybody found any hate or death threat rhetoric yet from the Tea Party? Didn't think so.
Anyway, I went off topic. The point is, there is a lot going on. Things that we pay a President to stay engaged in. We expect leadership and competence.
Guess what. Our incompetent President spent the day playing golf. ABC News reports:
President Obama just could not wait for spring weather to arrive.
For the second week in a row, the most powerful man in the world stepped away from the White House to hit the golf course.
Even as his administration and the U.S. military help Japan recover from a devastating earthquake, and as the world worries about Fukushima's nuclear reactor, the president could not resist taking advantage of the 48-degree weather in the Washington, D.C., area.
The president left the White House Saturday afternoon for a short trip to Joint Andrews Base in Camp Springs, Md.
With cloudy skies, it's not the best weather for golf, but Obama loves to spend his Saturdays on the greens. Last fall, Obama went golfing darn near every weekend.
These are never quick "work on your swing" trips; usually the president plays 18 holes, as he did last week.
This is what incompetence and non-leadership looks like. The U.S. deserves better. At the very least, even if you are a leftist, this just looks bad.
