Just watch...the MSM will back peddle and spin for The Messiah.
They will call anyone who blames this administration for anything a....racist.
If Bush was still President every TV News Anchor would be on the LA. coast on the gulf pulling out oil drenched animals while personally blaming Bush for the worst eco disaster in the history of mankind.
NOT TRUE---HOLDER SENT IN A WHOLE TEAM OF JUSTICE DEPT LAWYERS----noted experts in oil & gas well fires and blowouts.
....there’s no one there to worship him.
This is a joke, right? There is no way the NYTimes wrote this. Everyone knows that the Obama Administration can do no wrong.
The liberals are using stuff like at least 0bama wasn’t “in a classroom reading to some kids, responding with a blank stare while our country was being attacked.”
They dare not even say Katrina in the same breath!
You know they won't. But they should.

Wow... from the NY Slimes, no less.
They handled this exactly they way they wanted to handle this.
They needed this to be as bad as possible, for their agenda to advance. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Except for Obama or someone having an off-guard moment and reacting stupidly, for the most part they demand absolute control of every situation, and every move is planned. But being Liberals, their “plans” always, always have unintendeds involved.
No not Obama's Katrina, Obama's reason for a new gas tax to bring gasoline to $7/gal.
Where were the “controlled burns” that were supposed to happen earlier LAST week?
yeah, blame THIS ONE on george bush.
Late Night jokes we will not be hearing:
“Welcome to the Late Show. I am so glad you people are here, because last night what an awful audience, oh, my God. Remember those people? What a horrible audience, and I hate talking about people when they’re not here, but God, I thought it was the Obama Administration, because...they were so slow to respond.” —David Letterman
“Everyone is still talking about The Gulf Oil Spill. Experts say it could take 80 days to drain all of the oil out of New Orleans. When President Obama heard this he said, ‘80 days, that’s half a vacation.’” —Conan O’Brien
“Even President Obama, almost a week later, President Obama said his administration’s response to The Gulf Oil Spill was unacceptable. Then he said ‘Hey, don’t blame me, I was on vacation.’” —Jay Leno
“The president has vowed to personally lead the investigation into the government’s failed response to The Gulf Oil Spill? Isn’t that a job perhaps someone else should be doing?” –Jon Stewart
“No, not at all, Jon. To truly find out what went wrong, it’s important for an investigator to have a little distance from the situation. And it’s hard to get any more distant from it than the president was last week.” –-”Daily Show” correspondent Samantha Bee
George Bush was blamed for not responding adequately or fast enough regarding Katrina. But you notice the windbag we have in the White House doesn’t move very quickly either. Look how long it took him to send troops for the surge in Afghanistan, and afer all this alleged long drawn out decision process, he didn’t send enough troops.
I suppose with any decision he has to consult his handlers. He can’t make a decision on his own.
This is a terrible disaster, and there is no doubt that the government has reacted too slowly to it.
I expect a large, visible response soon in an attempt to counteract the damage already done, followed by a quick politically-motivated re-evaluation of the offshore drilling plan. I think putting future drilling plans on hold until we can definitively figure out how to avoid another disaster is good, but I wish the response to this was better.
The well was approved for drilling in March 2009 via the authority of the Dept of the Interior headed by Sec Menendez..the same dept. now prominent in overseeing the debacle. The administration has owned the entire administrative authority of this well from the beginning.
0Bama should order that equipment needed to
dig a relief well,
be moved to the area.
to not do so, is negligence
