it was horribly unfair to blame everything on Bush, and guess what? it is also unfair to the Obama administration. It is not at all clear that much could have been done right away by the federal government, nor have I seen any comparison to the response times of other disasters.

I know it might be fun to “give it like we got it” but It can also get overblown and there would be a backlash.

There is plenty enough to blame on Obama already we don’t need our own version of Obama derangement syndrome.

his resume would not have been considered because he is not qualified for the job. He will not ever be qualified even if he serves two terms. In addition, he is not able to surround himself with anyone that is qualified either. I for one am not surprised at his lack of judgement. His lack of credible experience will keep him in trouble. That means that we are in trouble also.
British Petroleum is a very large company but is ill equiped to respond to the magnitude of this oil spill. The only entity that was is the resources of the US Government. We can discuss woulda, shoulda, coulda from now on but the simple fact is BHO was slow to react.
The big trouble though is our vulnerability to attack on our soil by people that want to destroy us. That is a far greater danger than the mishandled oil spill. This all because we have an unqualified person in the CEO job.

I will never forget the feeling I had watching the people being put into that silverdome like catle. I said to my husband, ” what the hell are they putting the people in there for? How in God’s name will they get them out of there? ” My husband said, I have no idea…… George Bush never put those people in that dome.. never would have, he would have gotten them the hell out of there instead of dithering and waiting until it was too late… That was when I really and truly knew beyond a reasonable doubt that the media was in fact bias and untruthful.

From environmental reviews by Obama in 2009 and BP lobbied until at least 11 days before the explosion. That information is in the WaPo report by Eilperin, which is a different one than linked above by Fahri. This is full of import for anyone, right or left. BP has been in on “green” payoffs since the beginning, now they were given a pass on environmental studies by Obama. This borders on criminal. The EPA has been given enormous power over all lives now, free reign by Obama, yet the BP event shows EPA is qualified to do nothing. The left should not be given a pass on the slightest thing, least of all a scandal like this. The right and left are not playing on level playing fields. The left has the media and Soros. The right is in no position to give the left a pass on anything.

You all must know he’s doing every lousy thing on purpose. Remember his job is to dismantle the United States of America and liquidate all of our resources.

produce useful things and pay huge taxes and employ people. When they screw up, they fix it.

All Obama and his regime and his whiny sycophants do is bitch when they can’t have their utopia.

But there are glaring differences in that Bush TRIED to assist during Katrina but was hindered by the LA Governor and Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin.
And there’s NO WAY the MSM will attack Obama like they did Bush over any
factual or fictional acts of incompetency.

Lets see if any news media other than Fox points out, on TV NOT between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. only, where Obama stands on the list of BP Campaign donations or how much money BP has spent pushing Dem issues.

Our Representatives better eb circling the wagons and gearing up for a fight because the Dems aren’t going to go down with out getting as much of their agenda crammed through as they can and we have to slow them down as much as possible so we don’t have to spend an entire cycle trying / fighting to undo the damage they have done.

seems to point to a story other than the Obama exemption of BP from the drilling study.

There are plenty of others, though….

FWIW

Mary Landrieu stabbed in the back by anti-oil Senators in her own caucus.

Is it too late to take her health care vote back?

Just a heads up, the link up there for Obama exempting BP from the EIA goes to a different story.

This is the right one:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/04/AR2010050404118.html

on how much BP could be fined by the government might they be shooting their fund raising in the foot? After all, the more BP might have to pay the less they’ll have to spend on campaigns, including those of Democrats.

But then again this thugocracy is more interested in image than real solutions. As for the possible loss of campaign funds from BP, I’m sure GM and Chrysler will step in to fill the gap.

But to stack on it cynical hubris quite another. I’m happy to say we were first with breaking this aspect of this man-made environmental disaster, going back to May 1st, DAY 10.

most people will never know or hear about any of this. The MSM has the administraions back, if this story gets told, it will be very little. There won’t be the pictures endlessly raging all over TV for weeks and weeks.

Hate to be so cynical, but them’s the facts and the way it is now. It’s really scary.

…why don’t we call them British Petrobama.

Another example of the irresponsibility of Obama’s people.

These people, whatever the crisis, seem to behave more like Alfred E. Newman than serious public servants.

Or is is Bluto from Animal House? Serious crisis? Yeah, choose the toga party over actually attending to the job you’re supposed to be doing.

Who thinks BP or any other driller WANTS to drill in over a mile deep of water? It’s expensive and risky.

But govt and NIMBY’s rope off much of the sites on land and in shallower waters where is it MUCH SAFER and if something happens MUCH EASIER to fix.
