We’re hearing job loses in the energy sector in Houston of 25-75 thousand people. This will be as bad as the slump in the 80’s. If we were a blue state would Obummer be doing this?
....”never let a crisis go to waste”
He seems to be reversing course when it comes to the blame game. CNN and the locals got their marching orders when zero was down there.
Took the words out of my mouth !
and meanwhile obama party’s on.....
No, this is a catastrophe. And yes, it is BP's fault as well as the BO administration letting BP slide on its inspections.
But, hey, he's a democrat, so let's give him a free pass while he destroys the economy and Constitution.
This is right on the money. When the first reaction of the BO Misadministration is to shut down all other safely functioning drilling operations, stand in the way of cleanup operations, announce $400,000,000 grant to the terrorist state of Hamas which could have been better used to create sand burms along the Louisiana coastline, and use the entire spill to try to dredge up support for his confiscatory Cap and Trade, it is pretty obvious that he is the problem. When will the rest of America wake up????
Just sent these GDP facts to Jake Tapper of ABC News’ - he tweeted back that (quote) he did “not like my tone”...?
My communication to him was “Try reporting this...”
This is NOT a catastrophe, this is another shameful display of the American Media displaying its disgraceful distaste for the American PEOPLE.
Recently there were CATASTROPHIC floods in the American south. Where was Obama? Where was the media coverage? Where were the nightly views of ruined communities. Where was the 24/7 stories of homeless Americans, frantically trying to salvage..anything? Where were talking heads standing before homes and buildings flooded to the second story? Where were the “humanitarians” of the music industry putting on fund raising concerts to aid their “fellow” Americans? Where....where... where?
But now we have a veritable flood of TV time, platitudes and tears over the pictures of oil soaked birds. How many of those “wonderful” people who have rushed to the aid of the birds and pelicans, sped to the aid of their fellow PEOPLE, in their hour of disaster?
Boy, is something screwed up big time.
Great post!
And fits with my tag-line!
And who really benefits then? The Saudis must be partying like its 1999.
The failure to contain and cleanup is 100% Obama’s fault. If the person in charge was in the Gulf and not partying, bbqing, golfing and vacationing for 50 days, the spill and the damage to the enviroment and cost to cleanup would be as great.
Excellent point. In addition shutting down millions of timber jobs in the Northwest because of the lie about the spotted owl.
Shutting down salmon fishing along the west coast because of the poor fishes putting thousands of small business' out of business, and driving up costs for food.
And the most shameful, shutting down water to farmers in San Juanquin valley California, the bread basket of America for the 3 inch delta smelt.
The enviormentalists are commies, man is bad but some men (them) are good.
Hypersensitive girlie boy?
We are effecting the good relations of our allies. (Obama warns Brits: "you must send more troops to Afghanistan!)
Lyrics revised from Larry Platt's Pants on the Ground
Boots on the throat
Boots on the throat
Lookin' like a fool
With your boot on BP
Playin' like ya got
gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Pants hitting the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
With your boot on BP
Kickin' some ass
With your pants hitting the ground..

Unfortunately that is entirely appropriate.
