How could he not have? At his presser today, the president claimed that he did not know whether the head of the Minerals Management Service, Elizabeth Birnbaum, had resigned or was fired. Obama said he didn't know because he was engaged all morning and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was busy giving testimony on Capitol Hill.
But the president also said that he received multiple daily updates on the Gulf situation and described it as his "top priority." Now the NYT reports this:
S. Elizabeth Birnbaum, who took over as director of the Minerals Management Service last July, announced her resignation Thursday morning after being asked by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to relinquish her post.
So Obama's point man in the Gulf fires a key oil regulator without first clearing it — or even mentioning it — to the president during one of their numerous briefings? Fat chance.

Joe Wilson chalks up another ‘notch’.
Pathological. Character sickness i.e. immoral.
Baraq “You Lie” 0bama is an inveterate liar, but not as skilled as BJ clinton.
“top priority.” Golf game.
Yeah, for someone that is supposedly on top of everything and informed or updated several times a day, Obama doesn’t seem to know a whole helluva lot of anything about anything. That, or he’s LYING. He really isn’t very bright.
The liar in chief also said Salazar began cleaning house at MMS on day one. Can anyone name a single person Salazar fired before Birnbaum?
Remember the trouble that Sarah got in for answering “i don’t know” when asked about the Bush doctrine. Yet we have some idiot who occupies the Office of the President of the US, constantly says he doesn’t know thing, yet keeps getting passes.
He spent an hour saying Im in charge; have been since day one then, duh I don’t know. This guy would not make a pimple on a Presidents ass.
Of utmost importance to keep in priority one consideration.
No one mentions that this regulation outfit was caught doing SEC level porn during office hours and taking gifts from oil companies (trips, parties, items). OUr government is corrupt to the hilt.
It's cause Sarah's not a black, leftwing Democrat. (black man sayin' it...I'll send a photo to JimRob to prove it)
The only people who have a chance to stop this idiotic use of race as cover are black people. Until bastards like Jackson and Sharpton and Holder and Obama are soundly rejected by a majority of black people, this race hustle will continue, and continue to deepen any ievides the Democraps can manufacture to exploit. This continued exploitation of black people by the democrat party is getting embarassing. The racism of it is astonishingly obvious yet invisible to black people in general. Is the phrase ‘racial prejudice of low expectations’ too complex to comprehend?
