Obama Defends Response to Gulf Oil Spill, Pledges to 'Shut This Down' ("We're now in charge")

FOX NEWS ^ | 05/27/2010

[Mr. K]

"“I have directed BP to plug the leak ...”"

Did the moron-in-chief really say that? What did he think they were planning to do before that- NOT plug the leak???

This is so much like "I am in charge here" that got Haig into so much trouble when RR was shot.

[Gaffer]

Immensely laughable....they can't even control what happens when they take a crap, let alone actually doing something substantive and beneficial....talkers, not 'doers' - agitators, not managers - he might as well be a cowpie collecting flies out in a field for all the good he does.

Obama’s response to the Gulf Oil Spill: another eighteen holes.

[vicar7]

Good way to get reelected put your politic opponents like Barbour and Jindal in jail. This however does not sound or look like America then does it?

Obama’s response to the Gulf Oil Spill: another eighteen holes.

Those aren't holes, they are relief wells.

I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this down,...

Looks like the Bamster waited until others were doing "everything that could be done" before waltzing in to take charge and the credit.

[Vendome]

This is the biggest leak of his administration!

[Sioux-san]

Stay tuned - I think Barry is in for a bigger fight than he expected from about 80% of America.

"I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this down," Obama said.

He just shot himself in the foot with that remark. That damn thing will not be killed until the other rigs drill down to the production zone and cement it up.

Reality to Obambi. It's not over once the oil is capped. You have an environmental disaster to handle. The Louisiana/Mississippi coast is being flooded with oil, which is ruining wildlife sanctuaries. The currents will carry the oil around the coast of Florida and up the Southern coast. More wildlife preserves...
It's not anywhere near over ...
That's what I hear.

If something was needed for Jindal to be done, what’s stopping him from doing it ? Why does he need Washington to tell him what he needs to do for his state ?

Because of the GOD DA-- EPA AND THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

[Jack Hammer]

Does each one count as a mulligan? ;-)

[sten]

well.. thank goodness NOW they are in charge.

so... who was in charge for the first 35 days?

oh, and btw... nice response time reacting to that crisis, mr. _resident. i guess we know what will happen when that call comes in at 3am...

you’d let it go to voicemail and check it a month later.
