He cannot find the time to defend our border.
He cannot find the time to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Yet he has plenty of time to play around with NCAA pics and Golf.
Total Lack of Leadship - This man has No Shame.

This isn’t helping.
The world is facing a potentially deadly crisis in Japan’s melting down nuclear power plants. Libya is on the verge of its own possibly lethal breakdown as dictator Moammar Gaddafi clings to power by use of brutal force. Oh, and the U.S. government continues to operate (but just barely) thanks to a series of awkward continuing resolutions that are keeping the lights on, for now.
And, as if House leader John Boehner and his ilk didn’t have enough complaints about the job President Obama is doing, the National Review Online reported this week that as Japan burns, the commander-in-chief was busy taping his NCAA picks on Tuesday, for a big reveal on ESPN on Wednesday.
That was not, of course, all he was doing that day. He also taped an interview on education reform with a number of media outlets about the need to fix former President Bush’s disastrous No Child Left Behind program.
Neocon website Commentary Magazine went all in on Obama’s political airball.
“It’s hard to overstate how poorly Barack Obama is doing in the face of these crises — and I don’t even mean how he’s doing substantively, which is a scandal in itself,” the magazine wrote. “I mean how he’s doing politically. Recall how much hay Michael Moore made of the fact that George W. Bush read ‘My Pet Goat’ for nine minutes in that Florida classroom on 9/11 after being informed that the first plane had struck … We’re going on four weeks now, or more, that Barack Obama has been reading ‘My Pet Goat.’"
The mag called out Obama for being virtually invisible in the face of these multiple major crises and questioned his decision to spend time on a college basketball bracket. But the questions many were asking was this: did he really pick Kansas over Ohio State?
Really?
Should Obama be filling out an NCAA bracket at this time of crisis?

(Me being snarky!! :) )
And when Dan Quayle said it's OK for Obama to take a break from work once in a while, you know it's sanctioned by the right!
It's always easy for arm-chair, wannabe presidents to say what they would do, but when it comes down to it, most people couldn't handle 10% of the stress of a President's job.
I just hope he didn't bet, like a trillion dollars, on being right. ;-)
and put out those fires and stop the reactors from melting down all by his lonesome.
the crtique is stupid and nonsensical, on the other hand i would expect nothing else from the right
While he is doing that, golfing, and vacationing, America may be a little safer without him mucking around in anything that matters.
