Pool Parties and Golf - Your Tax Dollars at WorkQuestionable Spending at the Department of Justice is Poorly Monitored By Sharyl Attkisson WASHINGTON, July 23, 2010 (CBS) With a $13 trillion debt, why is the Department of Justice spending money on parties and rollercoaster rides rather than investigating crime, drug cartels, prosecuting terrorists?

Obama: It's All About the Perks
Remember that guy you went to high school with? You know, the one with the rich parents. The one who drove a Porsche to school and wore the slickest clothing. The one with a pool in the backyard and the Xbox and the tennis court. You thought he was a jerk then. He's still a jerk now. Only now, he's president of the United States.

Obama Has Shot 41 Rounds of Golf as President
President Barack Obama has played a remarkable 41 rounds of golf since becoming president, easily outpacing his predecessor and possibly damaging his ability to portray himself in 2012 as a populist advocate of average folks. With the excursions lasting on average at least five hours, the president has devoted a total of more than 200 hours to golf, not counting time spent on the White House putting green. That’s the equivalent of twenty five eight-hour work days, or five work weeks spent smacking golf balls. The former community organizer’s 41 trips around the links – a standard of recreational activity...

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and his family are heading off Friday for the weekend to a spectacular national park on the coast of Maine, no doubt hoping this latest jaunt doesn't fall victim to the Obama family travel hex. That would be the one in which events seem to scramble the plans whenever Obama has his wife and daughters in the mix.

The estimated worth of the lost oil is also displayed, as well as the amount of gallons BP has managed to capture (a fraction of the total). The Spillmeter also calculates the total spill in terms...
