I thought under the Clean Water act you were responsible Mr. President?
And if bull frogs had wings and wheels they wouldn't bump their ass when they hop.
Au contraire, mon frere. This is much, much worse than 1979 - by orders of magnitude worse. In defending his own inaction, he comes up with a hypothetical, invents his own conclusion of that hypothetical, and then blames others based upon his invented conclusion. This is absolutely the most immature President this nation has ever had.
He’s so precious. LOL
These people are pure, unmitigated evil.
Yeah, 0bama is a real mental wizard.
Great strategy, to tell voters that the Congress that has been controlled by his party for 4 years and is up for reelection this year shares the blame with him!
BP stands for “Buck Passing”.
This is leadership? LOL! No wonder the Iranians and North Koreans are on the march....
Lately I am finding it extremely difficult to show respect to you or even to the office you hold at the moment. On this one point we can agree, government holds a certain level of responsibility to the BP Spill or any major environmental disaster.
There were and are a number of ongoing failures on the part of your government. These failures range from not accepting international assistance to clean-up the spill, mitigate the spill, and minimize the damage from the spill to the EPA and DHS having spill plans in place without appropriate allocation of equipment and I will refer to the policies put in place by Congress that have forced oil companies into positions of high risk due to over regulation.
Some of us Mr. president, understand that major natural resources such as oil are required by our nation. They are required because oil isn't just about transportation and gasoline. Oil and its byproducts touch our lives in millions of places we would never even consider. It is that understanding in which we, We the People, have worked with oil companies to create, maintain, and grow our economy. This understanding leads or should lead to the cooperation that these risks are indeed carried by not only the oil companies and stakeholders, but every citizen.
If we want, if we need these resources then we all must accept and bear the responsibility for when disaster strikes. Mr. president that responsibility has not been upheld by your administration in the face of this crisis. Mr. president that responsibility which you are legally bound to implement in response to this spill has not been implemented and this citizen views as “willful negligence” on the part of your office, the EPA, and Homeland Security.
BP Oil had a horrible accident. An accident so egregious is may cost them their entire operation from the fines, fees, and litigation. Mr. president, you had it within your power to minimize the damage, to be of heroic assistance and instead you chose “willful negligence” to let the crisis fester to advance an unsustainable agenda.
Mr. president, you have breached the trust every citizen expects to be able have in their leaders during a time of crisis.
If even a lowly EHS Field Tech can see your “willful negligence,” then it rises to the level of criminal behavior and you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You see Mr. president, under the environmental laws of the United States of America it is not just the companies that can be prosecuted. Individuals who were “willfully negligent” in the delegated duties can be held criminally liable.
He alone is responsible for his sagging poll numbers.
The man is a childish and dangerous disgrace.
Everyone else is to blame but the Marxist in Chief now sitting in the White House.
In addition to being left-wing, the guy’s a jerk.
If one of my staff had made an excuse like Obama is stating, I’d have fired him.
This is a terrifying situation. God help us if the Boy-Queen is faced with an attack on American soil.
The guy is a complete and utter joke! Has the maturity of a 3 year old who wets his pants all day long.
Obama is a classless, marxist muslim queer thug from Chicago who needs to be impeached, tried for treason and shipped to Gitmo to rot with his buddies.
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,” Obama said. “Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”
So...LiberaLogic concludes that it's hypocritical to demand that the federal government do MORE of what the Constitution REQUIRES it to do (secure the border, protect Americans, respond to large-scale catastrophes) and LESS of what the Constitution PROHIBITS it from doing (controlling the media (internet), creating unfunded mandates like Obamacare, ex post facto taxation, gun-grabbing, regulating everything under the sun)???
Six months ago, he had 60 seats in the Senate and 257 in the House - overwhelming, and in the Senate, filibuster-proof, majorities.
If he couldn’t get through what he thinks he needed to get through, then I have no problem with the overwhelmingly DEMOCRAT Congress sharing blame with him.
Although, it would have been nice if his regime had enforced existing laws, rather than employing staff that partied and viewed pornography during duty hours instead of doing their jobs under existing law.
I went for lunch today in Fort Lauderdale and on the corner of Oakland and US 1 there was an anti Obama protest this afternoon on the street corners waving American, Israeli and “Don’t Tread On Me” flags waving. There were signs, “His Real Name Is Barry Soetoro”, “Log On To ObamaCrimes.com”, “Have You Had Enough?” and “Take Back Our Freedoms”. Cars were blowing their horns as they passed and when I asked the group told me they were Constitutionalists.
This moron is truly an ass, as if we didn’t already know.
