GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy Yells At Obama To “Get Off The Golf Course”…

Balderdash!

(The Hill) — The No. 3 Republican leader in the House took President Obama to task Friday, claiming he should put the golf clubs down and get directly involved in the budget talks with Congress.

“He’s got to get off the golf course and he’s got to get engaged,” Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said.

“He has a responsibility as a leader,” McCarthy said.

Although he referred to the president’s golf game, McCarthy did not address the highly publicized golf game Obama recently played with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the GOP leader with whom Obama is expected to soon meet to deal with the budget deficit and debt-limit crises.

The GOP’s third most powerful congressman accused Obama of staying on the sidelines during the budget deficit talks lead by Vice President Joe Biden.

    I know it sounds good, but aren’t we better served when he is on the golf course?

    Sorry Kevin, but a leader he is not. Obumass is a Marxist at best. Not a leader, and certainly NOT my president. Let’s get this fucking alien out of the White House and into the realm of worthless has-beens.

    barry will hold a token meeting next week and that is all. he will be running in and out of the meeting the whole time.

    barry can not afford to do any more than this, because if he spends any time “leading”, he will only make his absolute incompetence more obvious.

  4. Left Coast Conservative says:

    They will make him apologise like Joe Wilson. The situation is entirely different, but this will not dissuade the left Obamajihadists.

    Please, with a cherry on top, stay on the golf course.

    The weird thing is Nostradamus never mentioned the antichrist having a handicap.

    I think we are better off with him golfing. Its that much less time that he spends actively destroying the country.

  10. Molon Labe says:

    In 2012 the American people will allow him to play all the golf he wants. Hopefully in Cuba or Iran.

    Nice dig at Boehner here – except for the obvious thought of maybe that’s the only way Boehner could get an audience with Sir Golfs-a-Lot.

    After reading the above comments, I have this to say about all of you commentators: I am amazed at your arrogance, your distortions of truth, your ignorance of political reality, and your juvenile frivolous rhetorical repartees. What is apparent beneath your thin veneer of smug crapola posing as fact and knowledge, is that none of you know squat about economics, none of you gives a turd about the health of the nation or the world, and none of you are qualified to be discussing grown-up topics such as politics.
    Pres. Obama is the hardest working and most ethical politician we have been blessed with in my lifetime. I am 61. You punks come off like a bunch of lazy good-for-nothing smart-ass know-it-all’s who don’t deserve the right and privilege to call yourselves Americans. In fact, I am not entirely convinced that you dummies are even human; maybe sub-human, sort of.
    If any of you are among the coprolitic brainiacs who insist that taxes shouldn’t be raised on the super-wealthy, while cutting essential investments in infrastructure and in the overall health of our citizens, then I wish you the best … of the worst of outcomes. Only a poorly educated, misinformed idiot, i.e., a Republican, would ignore all the economic data amassed over the past 100 years or more which clearly indicate that your thumb-sucking position is lacking in integrity, morality and plain ole’ commonsense.
    Here is a wild idea: Privatize your lives. Grow your own food, all of it. Repair your own cars. Clean your own houses. Push your own brooms, and shovel your own bullshit. Cut your own frigging manicured lawns. The fact is, most of you haven’t got the balls to even push a broom. You depend on your fortuitous positions in our society and in our economic system which enable you to exploit and manipulate those who are less fortunate. You take for granted your good fortune, and you look down on the less fortunate from your pedestals built on philosophical misunderstandings of what it means to be human and to be a social animal. You are probably no less brutish than the ordinary wild gorilla. Goddamn us all, but when we look down on others, we are looking down on ourselves.
    I admit, I have the same disease that you have. But at least I am seeking the truth. You nitwits foolhardily presume that you already have it. Can you at least quit spreading your lies?
    And stop the unfair criticism of Pres. Obama. He is a national, even international, treasure of all human civilization. If you twits had half the humanity of Obama, you would know enough to seek humility, and do less twittering of nonsense, and more actual seeking of political and economic reality. If you don’t know who Dylan Ratigan is, or Cenk Uygur, or TRMS, then you don’t have enough insightful information to form a worthwhile opinion on anything political or economic. Until you have a more informed opinion, I recommend that you ZIP IT!

    Wow JamesN, does Soros pay you by the word????? If not, he should. Too bad you landed on the wrong site. Everybody here is well aware of what a “treasure” Obama is. We are not buying what you are selling.

    Oh my. Who pushed James’s unhinged liberal rant button? Please be more careful in the future, will you?

  15. ImNoDhimmi says:

    JamesN,

    You’re kidding, right?

    If not, you are seriously deluded. Seek help.

    Hey, maybe JamesN is really Obama himself!

  16. Mr. Forward says:

    The problem you got is we do know who Dylan Ratigan and Cenk Uygur are and we are deeply unimpressed.

    Now, GET OFF MY LAWN.

    Now that Tiger has totally stopped playing this season, Barry thinks he might have another career after he is either kicked out of office or gets voted out in 2012.
    @JamesN
    I’m 11 yrs behind you. While growing up I watched you Idiots go from young people with good ideas for the country in the 60′s and 70′s and let yourselves get infiltrated by a bunch of looney tunes and organizations with all their radical agendas. Instead of getting with the system, you totally fought against it. Because you couldn’t have your way, some of you even resorted to killing other Americans with bombs and riots (Fuck the Man, let’s stick it to him!), when instead you should have had the insight to see or at least looked toward Americas future which looks bleaker every day now that you Idiots are older and are now in positions of power within the government, (Barry’s Cabinet), and you’re still trying to Sticking it to the Man and Americans with your radical agendas, only thinking of yourselves and using your loonie tunes organizations, and you still don’t see the real threat of America being taken over by people with bigger money and powers than you. These people Feed off you Idiots and while your still trying to take America down, (with all your distractions and bullshit we don’t need), they are doing it! The only treasure I see here is an empty chest with no gems in it because you and your friends have looted it! Barry, a treasure, my ass! This guy is helping them! He will end up Sticking it to you, us and America. WE, are being used. Wake up and see the real world instead of this fantasy world known as political correctness and falsehoods.

    Don’t feed the trolls. Particularly this drooling idiot. (JamesN)

  19. JooJooB says:

    Maybe the doctor was looking the other way and James was dropped on his head at birth.

    Obama a treasure? James, you are out of your frickin’ mind. Obama is a lying, mocking, incompetent, fraud, a disgrace to our nation.

    You and Chris Matthews may drool over him, and I would bet you have a sexual fascination about him, but don’t try to sell us your insanity.

    You are a very, very stupid person.

  20. Natural Borm says:

    Your right Jimmy, he’s not the antichrist.

    And I was wrong for funnin Nero about his golfing therapy.

  21. dr truth says:

    C’ mon, this jerk isn’t fooling ANYONE….he knows he’s way in over his head, so he’s gonna milk this position for all it’s worth….playing golf 900 times while American Soldiers risk their lives, and his lazy wife on safari in africa while MO repairs from the worst tornadoes ever…..but, don’t worry…they’ll have a motown night, or a celebrity basketball game or something really fun, afterall, this idiot knows he won’t get re-elected, so who cares?? Pah-tay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
