Leadership: FDR said we had nothing to fear but fear itself. JFK asked what we could do for our country. Now we can add Obama's whine about the disaster in the Gulf: "I can't suck it up with a straw."
'Even though I'm president of the United States, my power is not limitless," the president told Grand Isle, La., locals in a video released Friday. "So I can't dive down there and plug the hole. I can't suck it up with a straw. All I can do is make sure that I put honest, hardworking, smart people in place . .. to implement this thing."
If only that were true. We have the secretary of the interior caught in a lie about experts endorsing a six-moth moratorium on offshore drilling that will do more damage to the Gulf economy than the Deepwater spill itself.
Has anyone seen the FEMA director in the Gulf or on the side of a milk carton? Where is Energy Secretary Chu? Off polishing a solar panel somewhere perhaps?
Speaking of the moratorium, the Obama administration now expects offshore oil rig workers who lose wages as a result of the administration's moratorium on deep-water oil and gas exploration to be reimbursed by BP, White House spokeswoman Moira Mack said last week. That is just goofy. How is British Petroleum responsible for government-mandated layoffs?
You'd think the administration could have found out there is a company in Maine able to produce 90,000 feet of containment boom a day. Why was the incident commander, Adm. Thad Allen, unaware of that fact until ABC's Jake Tapper made him aware of it in an interview?

Bush (Jr.): HEHEHE
The Party Boy President can’t be bothered because he’s in over his head!!
This is what happens when a totally inexperienced communist street agitator (aka “community organizer”) is elected president by a bunch of absolute fools who won’t even ask for his real birth certificate.
Thad Allen has shown himself as a lefty hack!!
The Messanic policy is dither, dither, deny, dither, visit, dither, dither, deny, deny, dither, dither, visit, dither, deny, deny, deny, dither......
The crowds will yell in one voice Barabas, Barabas.... give us Barabas. Crucify the King, crucify him!!
He is reacting like a child to his new power. He’s playing president, with the limited, shallow conception of president that is held by leaders in banana republics.
This on top of the Communist-directed wave he is riding.
:^)
“See now the rig is on fore - are you happy now?”
Dig it, the evidence abounds, yet they still feign ignorance.
It is also known an o-ring was left out of a joint way down near the end of the line.
This allowed gas to escape outside the column causing untold destruction and creating every growing channels for product to escape from this monster with the force of the exhaust of a jet engine!
I’ve been posting it on FR almost every day. Someone else pointed me to the info...
Hussein is a failure.
“there is something about his mentality that screams banana republic.”
There is something about Zero that screams ‘dereliction of duty’.
“Truthfully, true Honest, hardworking, smart people probably would not work for obamarama.”

They couldn’t if they were really honest, could they? How can an honest person work for someone who is obviously a fraud.
He’s like the out-of-shape armchair quarterback who thinks he can always do it better than the pros on the field. But now that he’s ON the field, he flails about aimlessly because he was too busy criticizing to learn how to actually play.
Even Ryan Leaf had accomplishments in college.
And you can look up HIS records.
Now. If only he knew some honest, hardworking, smart people we would be good to go.
“It is not fair that folks continue to refer to the leaking oil as “black”. From now I command it will only be referred to as a “petroleum based substance of color”. The Attorney General, Eric Holder will promptly investigate any instance of the oil being called “black” as hate speech. Also, “tar balls” is a racially charged term that is offensive to the minority community. Especially the gay minority community. I command this term never be used again. From now on these will be referred to as “spherical globules of a petroleum based substance of color”. Finally “BP” is far too confusing because everyone knows this typically means “Black Panthers”. From now on this company will be known as “the oil company from the country I detest and wish would finally fall to Islam”. On second thought that would be confusing also, as many would think I was talking about the United States. Oh well, screw that, it's five o'clock somewhere and I really need a drink.”
