President Barack Obama met U2's Bono in the Oval Office on Friday when he should have been headed to the Gulf Coast.

Ouch!

..."Rock Star" Obama is losing his flock!

Well it isn’t much to be happy about, but at least this pretty much locks up Obama losing Florida in 2012, though that was pretty certain anyway.

She sure has been real quiet letting her constituents know what is going on unlike David Vitter who has been posting updates several times a day.

Yah. When the private sector fuks up, the federal Gov’t should jump in immediately to fix it. But only sometimes..

Holder and the justice department were some of the first to respond from Washington. Typical Obama response ... send lawyers.

President Barack Obama met U2's Bono in the Oval Office . . .

Did Bono bring a step-stool?

As we speak President Obama is addressing a vast crowd in a football field in Ann Arbor Michigan. It is a graduation ceremony. Far be it from me to get into the politics of the thing, but one thing is evident.

At this time he is absolutely at the top of his game. I know he has the crowd enthralled. I tentatively offer it is almost like a pre-election speech. No way should he be underestimated. One of the themes is that there is so much unkindness and nastiness afoot these days. He brings in even little kindergartners as getting a bad example if they see and hear the news.

Oh yes, he mentions the "right wing opponents". Now he tees off again on dissent. He's clever. "The practice of listening to opposing views is essential" says the President. Perhaps he should mention the Arizona case and the hordes of "Nazis", that his supporters inveigh.

I am saddened by the awful disaster looming to the ecology. CBC Canada making hay by playing the Sarah Palin "drill, baby drill" speech. This while showing the slick. They never let a crisis go to waste, of course. I pray that something can be done. I don't care if it is a wacko liberal either that cleans this up. I just hope that it is resolved and the wild life preserved.

Exactly — Obama hates white people! Who owns most of the waterfront property along the the Gulf? White people!In fact, he might call them “typical white people!” His administration’s bumbling inaction is obviously racist!

In this case there is actually a law on the books to do just that.

Has hell frozen over?

The SPT criticizing Obama?

They’ve had this oil rig as front page news since this started.

People here were finally coming to the place were drilling might happen. The SPT probably thinks this is worth it, agenda wise.

THANK YOU!!

That will be very handy when I need to again engage some lefties who to this day bleat about Bush and Katrina -- they refuse to accept the notion that FEMA is not a first responder and that the brunt of the onus for that debacle falls directly upon the shoulders of local and state government, that this country has laws preventing a president from just moving in and taking over in any of the sovereign states.

Head in the sand, they none of them seem to recognize that no governor or mayor has local authority, jurisdiction over the Gulf of Mexico; this one is a federal problem. I can hear them now, "Eh, whatever."

Obie needed the slick to reach shore to further his anti-energy, anti-America agenda.

With you. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it is a gift to the left, isn’t it?

However, here in FL the St Pete Times is calling him on it. One of the most lib of papers, it’s amazing to see.

Something I’ve noticed about these far left politicians - they figure they can do or say anything they want, unlike Republicans, because they know the MSM will make every effort to paper it over for them. But sometimes they go too far.

You bet they will just say “Eh, whatever.”

I’m dealing with them on another site. You just can’t get those moonbats to think logically though.

This catastrophe could very well affect the Florida coast by the end of next week if the winds change.

I remember in the 90’s a Steven Seagal PC propaganda flick

the MO of these flick is comprised of emotions, using the Lord name in vain and foul language, racism, to promote a political out some.

I would cringe every time I heard words but I also was aware of the propaganda being fed to the public is such a subtle way.

The movie “On Deadly Ground” caught my eye about this out of control fire oil rig that needed to be caped and the events of today and the indifferent yet similar scenarios.

On Deadly Ground: Steven Seagal hero introduction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_juabEFTH6M&feature=player_embedded

full version of the movies at the end of this post

I think the Communist has taken over Hollywood these are clearly un-American actives and is not any different in the past in this ungodly movie such as…
The Life of Emile Zola

http://www.online-literature.com/emile-zola/

at the end of the Movie at Emile Zola funeral there was no mention of God nor a religious funeral but a tribute to his work on Social justice.

Back to Steven Seagal flick

Is another form of brainwashing the public in a smooth subliminal way!

Listen to His speech at the end it is just more progressive propaganda!
