TIMELINE: Obama golfs while Gulf burns

The lessons of Katrina apparently were entirely lost on our current president. Obysmal is either getting some spectacularly bad advice or he's too arrogant to listen to good advice. His golf clubs are about to become emblematic of his administration, as famous as Nero's fiddle. Every Dem who tries to run on Obama's coattails will be flogged deep into the rough with an Obama-signature seven iron.

The generic GOP ad writes itself: We see a golf course where the pin flags name various administration trainwrecks ("crushing deficits," "healthcare debacle," "tax increases," "high unemployment," etc.). Obie is seen striding confidently, head held high and clueless, toward the next, unnamed, disaster. Struggling and sweating along behind him is the Dem candidate as his caddy, hauling Obie's golf bag, labeled "Made in China." The caption possibilities are legion.
