BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals…

Politico’s Lovely closes out with this quote from former Rep. Jim Turner, now a lobbyist for BP with Arnold & Porter:

“First, they are exceedingly competent. Second, they are [Democratic-centric]. I know the first will help enormously in the next few weeks. I am not so sure about the second,” said Republican energy lobbyist Mike McKen na of MWR Strategies, who predicted that Landrieu would quite likely get “very wide latitude” on the oil issue. “That may not be the case with BP, whose record is a bit more spotty.”

…that you think our president would ever play politics with a national emergency. What do you take him for, a thug from the Chicago political machine? Sheesh.

One of those five men is a Democrat in everything but name only and considers himself a good friend to Obama. I’ll leave you to figure out which one, but its the dude that regularly walks around being orange.

Of course, Governor Orange-guy’s state hasn’t been dealing with oil washing up on the beaches until this week…

Bobby Jindal meanwhile stands as the example of a leader in government actually, well, leading – something the administration doesn’t seem to want to be bothered doing. In the end will Obama’s politics game work to harm his political rivals, or does it just make him look incompetent while Jindal is ready to take necessary action.

If only the administration were willing to take charge, this could have been contained much sooner, Obama could have looked good and all bi-partisan working alongside Jindal, and then he could have used that goodwill to start trying to destroy “drill, baby, drill.” Instead, President Incompetent decides to cut out the middle step in which something is actually accomplished and go straight to the playing politics… After 16 months, can any of us be surprised at this?

But BP has. That’s how The Marxist telegraphs his moves, by the scapegoat he makes.

He’s got not a care in the world, since he can blame BP, and by extension, big oil, oil itself, and the capitalist system.

Notice how The Marxist complains about BP spending money on PR. He wants them to shut up and take their beating.

While he golfs.

If this was true in April,

“Carol Browner, director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, told Obama in late April that the blowout would likely lead to an unprecedented environmental disaster, a senior White House aide told The Daily Beast. Browner warned that capping a well at such depths had never been done before, and that they ought to expect an oil spill that would continue until a relief well was drilled in August.”

Then, all the ecological damage is on Obama.

YES, IT IS.

There were solutions of bring tankers in to suck the oil from the water, Gov. Jindal had ideas and requested the authority to use those ideas and to protect La. coastlines; the White House sat on its hands at best.

Conspiracy theories aside, Obama could have lessened the environmental damage with the full force of government resources and he did not; to assign all environmental blame on the executive branch is appropriate and deserved.

but this simple chart vividly and clearly enunciates it.

that there are political reasons that might explain why he has acted as he has. Personally, where the rest of us who have at least some sense of patriotism to this country would respond with a certain amount of “my country, my nation, my home, my people” etc., and tend to become emotional about it when we see events of this sort take place, President Obama doesn’t have a shred of this in him.

Zip. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

I think that could explain a lot of his apathy on more issues than just this oil spill.

In Chicago, wards that do not support the machine don’t get their streets plowed in the winter or the broken sidewalks fixed. This is just normal Chicago Democrat corruption. Nothing to see here.

any intelligent person would have done was to have waived all environmental rules for the duration of the emergency so efforts to contain the damage would not be hampered. None of the accepted methods of containment, such as a burn off, were used because of EPA resistance. Secondly, the Feds should have worked with BP to set up offices to accept claims and the evidence of losses for compensation. Looks as though this is being left to individual lawyers—a bonanza for another Obama support group. There seems to be no overall authority in charge. Just a chinese firedrill of incompetence.

1) That Obama would or could have the slightest idea what to do in this situation. Oil industry experience? Zero. Any relevant experience to the matter whatsoever? Zero. We could well be quite lucky he did not try to “help,” and only make matters worse — not that the press would have acknowledged the fact had it occurred. He had and has no interest whatsoever with surrounding himself with individuals who could have helped; his cabinet and administration is built upon appearance, not substance — perception, not reality.

2) That Obama should have the power to solve the problem to begin with. The Government does not exist to solve problems such as this spill, it exists to facilitate the solutions to these problems, via working to assist Private Industry. To assume Obama or any other President could have solved this matter is to embody the Office of the Presidency with Power it does not and should not ever possess, if we wish to remain a Constitutional Republic, as opposed to the Socialist Quasi-Democracy those currently in power envision.

3) That this is not the Government’s fault to begin with. Why were they drilling so deep? Insane regulations. Why do we not have scientific answers to the problem already developed? An “Environmental Protection Agency” steeped in the modern, near-religious dogma that calls for an end of the Petroleum Industry, by any means necessary — or at the least, Government control thereof. Thus, already envisioned and developed answers to the issue have been shot down before they could be tried, lest they actually work.

Obama ignoring the Nashville flood. He can’t be bothered with pesky Southerners that didn’t vote for him. He’d just as soon wish us down a Guatamalan sink-hole.
