With no end in sight and his poll numbers in free fall, America's superhero, Captain Kickass, has decided to take his weak photo-op tour to more Gulf states affected by Obamatrina, a noble gesture considering there's a strong possibility he may miss a few live minutes of a possible Game 6 of the NBA Finals.Who said this man isn't sacrificing for us?
Under fire for his handling of the oil-spill crisis, President Obama is returning to the Gulf Coast for an update on the disaster.Let's hope by next week our Golfer-in-Chief finds a moment to chat with BP's CEO.
The White House said yesterday that Obama will travel next Monday and Tuesday to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida -- three states whose shores and economies are being affected by the worst environmental catastrophe in US history.
The trip will be Obama's fourth to the region since the deep-sea leak began April 20 with the explosion of an oil rig leased by BP.
Obama's extended stay in the region comes as a poll earlier this week found that a majority of Americans believe his handling of the crisis has been even more bungling than President George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The ABC News/Washington Post survey showed that 69 percent of voters disapproved of the White House's handling of the oil spill, compared with 62 percent who gave thumbs-down during the aftermath of Katrina.
