LOL, and how many paying jobs has Barry had? Were any CEO level? Right, didn’t think so. How has Barry dealt w/ the oil spill to date? Oh right, a complete failure. Perhaps Barry is the one least competent in this case and just needs to put a cap on his gusher.

Yes, wasn’t it Bush and Cheney who were (sinister voice here) seriously tied to big oil?

ZerO is a slimebag. Instead of dealing with problems, he’s always either looking for someone to blame or trying to figure out a way to use it to get more of our money.

hard to believe, considering he hasn’t fired any of the losers in his own administration who have been screwing up nonstop.

BO has such vast experience in oil, I am quite certain that oil execs hang upon his every word for advice. Then again, people in China shops watch every horn movement of a bull.

I don't see how BP had any choice but to begin a PR campaign to reform their image, after the sort of things that the Obama Regime has been doing, like bad-mouthing them and threatening them with criminal and civil persecutions (I used this word on purpose), typical of the thuggish actions learned from his time in Chicago politics and Alynsky's methods.

After all, the most important thing is to demonize the oil industry and to hide the fact that it's the leftists who have been forcing the oil industry to drill in deep water. I'm not saying that BP is blameless here, but that there's plenty of blame to go around, though that should fall by the wayside until the problem is solved.

Oil is spewing from beneath a British Petroleum oil rig into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of about 1 million gallons a day. There’s no end in sight – although White House officials have made it clear their goal is to stop the leak before the midterm elections in November.

Obama now spends at least half of every day answering pointed, increasingly aggressive questions about the oil spill, most of them from his daughter Malia.

The president finally went down to take a look at the oil disaster last week – which is weird because I didn’t even know there were golf courses near the Gulf. To show his concern, Obama is thinking about returning some of the nearly $1 million the oil industry donated to his campaign.

Ha, ha – just kidding. He’s not returning any oil money. But the situation has gotten so urgent that Obama did take time off from his golf game to praise the Phoenix Suns for protesting Arizona’s new immigration law.

Maybe the pres_ent should golf less.

I would love to have seen the look on BO's face when he landed in the Gulf for the first time after the oil spill.

"Hey guys, where's the club house? I told you I wanted to go play golf, not go to the Gulf"!

” ... it’s the leftists who have been forcing the oil industry to drill in deep water.”

But haven’t you ever enjoyed the beautiful ice slab at ANWR? And a wandering polar bear could get oil on his paw. Look at the big picture!

Obama’s premise makes no sense. If he were head of BP, he would have fired the CEO? That would mean he would have fired himself. Really stupid statement.

Really stupid statement.

That is his main "accomplishment" - making stupid statements.
"57 states"
Austrian citizens speak "Austrian"
"police acted stupidly"
et cetera ...
