Many Americans who elected Barack Obama thought George W Bush was too much the cowboy. After eight years of Texas swagger and a shoot-first-ask-questions-later foreign policy, voters craved the more considered, cerebral and often inspirational persona of a big city law professor. Now, in the midst of a real crisis, they are having second thoughts.

Really? I've not seen any evidence of any of those qualities in POSER. In fact, every day he reveals more and more that he's a fraud. He reads words other people write. Off teleprompter, he's a stuttering, stammering fool.
People that believe Obama is an example of “cerebral” have spent way too much time watching Jerry Springer.
A balm for liberal white guilt?
THE ARTICLES BIG LAUGH LINE:As Politico, a Washington insiders paper put it, he has failed to rouse the American people to turn their hearts toward the Gulf and to assure them that their world still built on the plentiful supply of fossil fuels is not falling apart.
“No I’m saying that 30 years experience or no experience, neither one seems to have a clue on how to deal with the crisis. “
I don’t expect BO to have a clue so thats not disappointing. He’s never had a clue so the expectation is low.
I would wager BP could easily have handled this spill if it were on land or in shallow water. Environmentalists have forced drilling deep offshore which is making this much more difficult.
I don’t really blame BP for having trouble fixing it, its a tough problem. I blame them for taking shortcuts leading to the disaster and not being prepared.
Answer: Yes, "the Won" created the crisis.
(BP caused the gusher)
I am thinking that out of sheer incompetence 0’s bureaucrats have put every roadblock possible in the way of BP solving this and doing what they do best.
He is not a leader. He is not an alpha male. Everyone senses it - that’s what causes a lot of that feeling of disconnect with him. When we think “President” we think “Leader”. When we see Obama we see follower. He’s not Martin Luther King talking about having a dream. At best, he’s the guy in the background shouting “say it, brother”.
To use an analogy, if this was Braveheart he is not Longshanks. He is the whiney son longing to come to power but being too weak to sieze it. He feels he is owed reverence and deference without realizing that the world demands you to earn it.
These leftist are destroying our way of life with their idiocy and we are just sitting back letting it happen...If this doesn't change in Nov we are screwed!!
“big city law professor.”
No ‘Professor’ Obama at U. of C.

Not a professor, not a cowboy, not a leader.
Well, if I wanted to create and extend a crisis, 0 is the go to guy.
“BP oil spill: Is Barack Obama the man for a crisis?”
Zero is a man? I thought Michelle was the man in the house.
Thanks for the article. If only the U. S. press was as accurate about this situation.
To me, Obama always seems to be jockeying for position. He doesn’t hold the same values that most Americans do (and neither do his advisors), so they have to guess at how they should respond to situations in which they are trying to sway public opinion.
Saying “hope and change” (vague concepts left to the listener to define) over and over worked for them during the campaign, but when a real crisis presents itself, they are missing the skill set (as the article so succinctly puts it) to meet it.
BP is doing the best thing, drilling the relief wells. Hopefully they won’t cut corners this time. lol. In the meantime, they’re trying to capture as much oil as possible. Could have they done better. Most likely, but 0 is orders of magnitude more incompetent.
And on top of that I will honor him as he honors our Flag and Country.
Answer: He is a lawyer and ALL of BP’s response systems are being run by lawyers. Lawyers are the bane of our society.
Both parties are to blame for the oil disaster. There are supposed to be disaster plans by both parties. Nothing was done for weeks.
I agree with what you are saying about the eco-nuts being responsible for offshore drilling. We should be drilling on land or shallow waters where the spill could be easily contained. And, we should be drilling for natural gas.
Survey says...NO!
Obama is not the man you would trust to turn the water hose off after he washed your car.
