Gulf Oil Crisis. Thanks to the great folks at PolitiPage.com. for the following pictorial diary. It documents exactly what Obama, the Fun President, has been doing since Day One of the Gulf Oil Crisis. We throw this little fact in for free --- there has not been a president more dedicated to "fun" than Obama. In 2009, Desiree Rogers, before she resigned as Social Secretary, sechedule 332 events at the White House.
