RNC website asks 'Play Golf or Save the Gulf?'

Washington (CNN) - Play golf or save the gulf?

That's the question asked on a new website launched Monday by the Republican National Committee. It lists 13 "leisure activities or missteps" made by President Obama since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20, and visitors can list their top five and share them on Twitter and Facebook.

"President Obama's frustrating tendency to hit the links rather than devote his undivided attention to providing a solution to the worst ecological disaster in American history represents an unacceptable lack of seriousness and focus," RNC Chairman Michael Steele said in a statement provided to CNN. "While communities along the Gulf Coast are reeling from the devastating economic and environmental impact of the ongoing spill, it is beyond offensive that this president would even think of scheduling a tee time."

Updated at 2:00 p.m. ET with statement from Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Hari Sevugan:

“It’s nice to know that Michael Steele can take time out of his busy schedule of fending off calls for his resignation to play politics with the oil spill," Sevugan said. "And it’s too bad he’d rather play political games than support the Administration’s efforts to hold BP accountable and a pass energy security bill that ensures we are never in a position where we are reliant on big oil companies like BP again. Of course, if we could harness even a fraction of the energy Republicans put into these silly websites we wouldn’t need a new energy bill.”

Deal with Katrina or fiddle with a gift guitar?

These are very interesting questions, as some dimwit among the recent occupants of the White House used to say.

I love intelligent snark that nails idiots while making me laugh out loud!

:rofl:

unless of course, Obama is to dive to the hole in the gulf and plug it up all on his lonesome self. What a stupid poll.

Put on his Superman cape and seal the well head shut with his heat vision? Or put on his Aquaman briefs and organize the Gulf's aquatic life to stop the spill? I know Republicans are addicted to magical thinking, but really.

And since when did Republicans get so exercised about Presidential leisure time activities? I don't recall them getting too worked up over Junior's relentless vacation schedule.
