I would imagne that the very same people who are bitching and complaining about Tony Hayward going on his yacht yesterday have absolutely nothing to say about Obama’s various golf outings since the oil spill (regardless of the fact that neither of them can personally do anything about the spill).

About 4.5 seconds after I posted Pray Tell, I found a far more eloquent, better researched and more qualified piece which expresses my sentiments exactly.
