Barack Obama tries to pick the tar balls off of his legacy

What did the President know and when did he know it?

According to Richard Wolffe Barack Obama was apprised not only of the leak, but of the magnitude of the leak, how hard it would be to repair and how long it could go on:

Critics have bashed President Obama for being slow to seize the political initiative in combating the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast, now widely believed to be the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. The White House has battled back, releasing a timeline of events showing that Obama was briefed—and deploying the Coast Guard—within 24 hours of the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

What has not been previously disclosed: The president was not only briefed on the real-time events of the spill, but also on just how bad it would be—and how hard it would be to plug the hole.

Yeah, he knew. And he let it happen so he can push an environment bill through and shut down all off shore drilling.

Honestly, I’m surprised it took this long for this conversation to come up.

One thing that also really offends me is that crouch Obama is doing. It’s that third world kind of customary squat.

One usually doesn’t see an American President squatting.

It just another subtle example of how unlike the average American this President is.

Since I know liberals, I know what his first reaction was: “How can I use this to my political advantage”

You nailed it. Political advantage is the controlling authority for all things Obama.

You know, the picture of Nixon on the beach at San Clemente in suit pants wading in the Pacific Ocean made him look like a fool and added fuel to the fire for the people demanding his resignation. I should say — a sinister fool.

Obama looks just as foolish and contriving here.

LOL!

I’m taking some heat for even daring to question the filthy rich liberals who sponsored the Obama Regime!

But like my dad used to say, “Screw ‘em!”

Have you plugged the damn hole yet, Mac Daddy?
