Could the GOP finally have gotten the clue, after Obama’s snit fit acting like a 5 year old not allowed to get a new My Little Unicorn presser, that it is time to take the gloves off?

One of the Senate’s top Republicans on Thursday fired back at President Obama for questioning his party’s work ethic, suggesting that the president should spend less time on the golf course.

“I think the best way to get an appointment with the president is to set up a tee time,” Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, told Fox News.

Anyone know the Vegas line for Obama playing golf this weekend? How about the line for him playing golf on July 4th, his daughter’s birthday?

Thune’s retort came after Obama reamed out Congress for its recess schedule at a news conference on Wednesday, saying that he’s ready to get a deal done on deficit reduction and raising the nation’s debt ceiling.

Last time I checked, the GOP only controlled the House. Democrats control the Senate (no, really. I’m totally telling you the truth, Liberals. Seriously. Look it up. They’ve controlled the Senate since January, 2007. No, I didn’t edit the Wikipedia page)

Anyhow, after giving up his job as POTUS and taking the reigns from Debs Wasserman Schultz for the DNC, and telling Congress they need to get to work….

Later in the afternoon, the President will travel to Philadelphia, PA. The departure from the South Lawn and the arrival at Philadelphia International Airport are open press.

Later, the President will deliver remarks at a DNC event at the Hyatt at the Bellevue. This event is pooled for TV and open to pre-credentialed still photographers and correspondents.

In the evening, the President will deliver remarks at a DNC event at a private residence. This event is print pool only for remarks.

Yeah, that was part of Obama’s official schedule for June 30th.

I’m writing this at night on the 30th for a morning post. Hopefully, Lynn Sweet will have Obama’s Friday and Weekend schedule up early, so we can see just how much Obama is not going to do. I’ll give him the 4th off, though, due to being Independence Day (all that Red, White and Blue must drive liberals nuts) and his daughters birthday.

Well, well, well, Obama is going to spend a few hours meeting with advisors, then, it is off to Camp David at 430pm. No scheduled events through the 4th.
