White House jabs Hayward on attendance at yacht race
The
embattled Hayward was replaced on Friday as the head of the response
effort to the oil spill in the Gulf. The company tapped managing
director Robert Dudley to head the effort.
Republicans also took aim at President Barack Obama for playing golf this weekend amid the spill response.
Burton
said that Hayward has stayed true to his word in getting his “life
back,” riffing on the executive’s panned remark about wanting to return
to his normal life.
“It’s clear that he has,” Burton said. “But what’s important for us is that the people of the Gulf get their lives back.”
