This is a Fellini movie. He's blaming Republicans in Congress for opposing a measure he not only never introduced, but which never even entered his mind.

As for opposing some never never land legislation, maybe the haloed one is completely unaware that federal law makes the Federal Govt responsible for clean ups such as these. So the GOP would oppose providing the tools to carry out a cleanup? Eveb Ron Paul would'nt oppose that.Like I said, a Fellini movie.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! So it’s time to blame American citizens for the spill!!!! And not the environmentalists that forced oil companies to drill in depths miles below the ocean. No not them... they’re the good folks. It’s the tea party folks that want to drill on land and in shallow water that are the problem!!

“I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and I had said we need to crack down a lot harder on oil companies and we need to spend more money on technology to respond in case of a catastrophic spill, there are folks up there, who will not be named, who would have said this is classic, big-government overregulation and wasteful spending.”

_____________________________

I’m not sure what all this has to do with the price of beans.

The facts are that he didn’t go to Congress, and the “folks that will not be named” can’t be named anyhow, because they didn’t object because he didn’t go to Congress.

Further, if they did object, so what? Obama had the votes in Congress to do whatever he wanted to do.

Not only that, has the exact cause of the explosion been even diagnosed to be a “lack of regulation”?

He’s actually making up fantasies to try to deflect criticism over his inaction. Does he think that makes him look good? It makes him look even more pathetic than ever.

Do you believe him. IF he had asked for more this that the other thing then of course, some people (UN NAMED) would have said NO.

The man is certifiably insane.

Awwww, poor thing... NOTHING is his fault, is it? Never. (This is so classic of a man raised mostly by women.)

“It’s everyone else’s fault.” Obama is never responsible. The good news is that I can see November from my house, and the voters will get to express their opinions on whether it’s time for the adults to take charge.

>> “were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government “

So, the spill was neglected for fear of complaints?

That’s an awful lot of people to throw under the bus at once.

I think he might want to borrow that fleet from Nagin.

Maybe he is really close to going over the edge....these comments are getting weirder and weirder.

And the comments at Politico are very revealing.

This interview is a classic. By the way Barry, have those lawyers you sent figured out how to plug the damn hole yet?
