Heat on White House to Do More About Gulf Spill
FoxNews.com/AP ^ | 5/25/2010

The White House is facing increasing questions about why the government can't assert more control over the handling a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

...

Others have blamed the administration for not doing enough, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who said Sunday on Fox News that Obama was being lax in his response to the spill.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called the criticism ill-informed and suggested Palin needed a blowout preventer, the technical term for the device intended to prevent an oil spill from becoming a full-scale catastrophe. The phrase has entered the political vernacular since the one on the Gulf well failed.

Zer0 needs to wring his hands faster while stomping harder on the neck of his financial supporter, BP.

the questions need to be directed at the WH as to why they are not doing more to clean up the mess. Janitorial function. That is their role. They haven’t a clue on how to stop a gusher.

Go back and find out why the govt wasn't providing booms or allowing burn off.

Makes me think of the buses in the parking lot during Katrina...a golden opportunity to do something and it was ignored. (Of course, everyone knows by now that the buses didn't move because it wasn't in their Union contract.)

“Gibbs wil be behind bars one day...Palin will be behind the desk in the Oval Office...after a complete sanitizing and fumigation.”

That would be a possiblity if there weren’t so many psychotic progressives in the electorate.

The effing maroons in the blue states will elect more progressives in November.

IMHO

THE most classless individual I’ve ever obaserved in any spokesman position. Alan Grayson is probably his understudy..

Longing for the days of Tony Snow, God bless him.

Since I saw this days ago, I'm wondering why in the hell it's gotten no publicity and no one is using this method as a clean-up solution.
