Oil Spill Speech Just Obama's Latest Infomercial

On Monday President Barack Obama named the last members of his commission to investigate the BP Gulf of Mexico oil disaster. On Tuesday he announced that on Wednesday he "will meet with the chairman of BP and inform him that he is to set aside whatever resources are required to compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of his company's recklessness." Why appoint a commission or even have a meeting if the verdict is already in?

Because in his desperation to undo the political damage done by his poor response to the spill so far and to move on to what he really believes is important, Mr. Obama had to switch with breakneck speed to act as judge, jury and corporate executioner and quickly jump to how he can take advantage of the crisis to advance his far-left agenda.

They could dig up Billy Mays and he’d be a better pitchman than the president.

Quo Warranto? By what authority does the Fool in Chief think he has the power to arbitrarily seize the assets of a British firm? In the past... this has led to war with Great Britain.

He wants BP money to go into a trust fund so the Government can dole it out. How many millions will go to the unions who in turn will donate money back to the Democrats?

If Obama was at the scene of an accident where a driver fell asleep at the wheel and ran over a pedestrian who was writhing in a pool of her own blood, his response would be, “Quick, someone call 411 right away, we need lawyers on the scene... and someone tell me who the driver was so I know whose a** to kick.”

He is soooo obvious by now. Everything he encounters, he’s got an angle on. All he ever thinks about is spin and political advantage. It doesn’t seem to have crossed his mind that people are mad because oil keeps flowing into the water, and all he wants to talk about is who is to blame and who will pay.

It’s not just wrong and stupid, it’s also bad PR. And yet, few could be so deserving of it as he.
