I had to check, I thought this HAD to be satire. Wish it was

[Carley]

So someone not born yet since it won’t be effective till all the cleanup has been completed.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Wow. At least he’s doing something about it now huh...

Can someone call back all those countries that offered help and say “yes please, sorry about the last guy you spoke to, he’s a problem”

[cookcounty]

"Ummmm.... isn't “somebody that will be in charge of a recovery plan, putting a recovery plan together...when we get past the cleanup and response phase of this disaster” part of Zero's job description? Not playing 38 rounds of golf and partying every night. "

This way he'll have yet another person to blame and point fingers a and throw under the bus. And the press morons would never call him on it.

[Grunthor]

Obama, the do nothing, know nothing President.

[airborne]

WTF???

I thought Obama was in charge......

[andy58-in-nh]

We ought to have a contest to see who correctly guesses the primary affiliation of our newest “Czar”. Will it be... Harvard Law School? The Tides Foundation? The Center for American Progress? The Apollo Alliance? (Heaven help us: all of the above?)

[wilco200]

Van Jones?

[Shannon]

If he'd name Lt. General Honoré of Katrina fame, I'd pay attention. Remember his nickname, the Ragin’ Cajun. That man could get the job done. Anyone else.....forget about it.

[dfwgator]

Obama certainly has been “stuck on stupid.”

[Young Werther]

My candidate would swim the Gulf Waters and clean up the oil with his Moustache!

[Canedawg]

Just what the Marxists want- more czars.

Ptooey!

[Hoodat]

Where’s the Protect-the-Shoreline Czar?

[ILS21R]

[airborne]

"...The spokesman (Gibbs) added that by the end of the month it is “absolutely” likely that BP Plc (BP) will be able to siphon more than 90% of the oil ..."

Absolutely likely ? ? ?

[Hoodat]

You’re sending the Wolre? Damn, why didn’t you say so?

[B.Lyle]

All that was left up to the ‘Sitting in the Oval Office Czar’, second only to the ‘Being the President Czar.’

[massgopguy]

That’s not exactly what he said.

[ignoramus2010]

A Cleanup Plan should have been formulated 50 days ago, but The One was too busy Golfing, Partying and taking Vacations.

Obama’s failure is not stopping the leak, but the lack of urgency in containing and cleaning it up.

Obama has compared the gulf oil crisis to 9-11, but imagine if Rudy after 9-11 said stuff it, I’m going golfing and on vacation for the next 55 days.

[applpie]

the fact that this president (and i use the term loosely) needs to appoint so many czars — does not, as a whole, say alot about the federal government’s ability to get work done without them. good grief. he has how many agencies that have responsibility for oil, oil spills, and the negative affects. hmmm.
