WASHINGTON – A majority of Americans disapprove of how President Barack Obama has handled the devastating Gulf oil spill though far more blame BP for what people call a sluggish two-month response, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday.
It comes as the president seeks to show more forceful leadership in confronting the nation's worst environmental crisis and convince a skeptical public he's up to the task.
The survey found that 52 percent don't approve of Obama's handling of the spill, a significant increase from last month when a big chunk of Americans withheld judgment. But Obama's overall job performance rating didn't take a hit; it stayed virtually the same at 50 percent. That's consistent with the public's attitudes throughout his young presidency; people generally like him but don't necessarily agree with his policies.

That grin is so out of place.
No one else seems amused. I’m not.
Like Alfred E. Neuman- “What, Me Worry?”

That is a nervous grin.
Even HE has enough sense(?) to realize the pitchforks are being sharpened, oil is being skimmed off for the tar, and many fowl are being plucked for the party he will be the star of in the near future....
Well, I can dream can’t I... not much else left to do before the SHTF.
Obama is diminished in the presence of our military.
Its a Barry Soetoro grift. Barry gave BP a chance to save its well which they took. It could have been plugged with a loss of the well within 2 weeks but guess what. No crisis will gio uneploited according to the Alinsky plan which is?????
TA DAA!
Nationalize the Oil Companies.
Righ now we are in the "dirty rotten oil company" phase, thats after the dirty rotten banks, dirty rotten wall street, dirty rotten health insurance companies, dirty rotten auto companies, dirty rotten red neck militia ( Huteree ,all out on bail BTW),dirty rotten phamaceutucal companies, and the dirty rotten Israelis.
Barry Soetoro is a piece of crap.
America doesn't yet know that it has a bona fide Fascist as a president.A mega extortion man, using the US government to extort free businiess.
Effing THUG is all he is, and he needs a thug's treatment.
“It comes as the president seeks to show more forceful leadership in confronting the nation’s worst environmental crisis and convince a skeptical public he’s up to the task.”
Here is an idea. Instead of showing more forceful leadership, why don’t you put your Ping’s away and show any leadership?

The people on the oil drum are, in the main, professional oil people, engineers and work in the industry.<
Yep, i read it, man what a nightmare.
Last nite was his historically historical “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” speech!
...and getting 'on impotence'...actually, very close! even Obama is impressed with his self-impotence! just ax him.
Look at the Staff bios.
The people who run this site are all academics, most whom have a clear “environmentalist” bias. They are also mostly devotees to the theories of “Peak Oil”.
What Oil Drum is NOT is a website dominated by professionals who make their living in the energy production industry as the original poster claimed. What it clearly is is an advocacy site with an obvious anti-oil/pro “renewable energy” bias.
No they are not. Read the staff bios. Oil Drum is not peopled by oil industry professionals as you claimed. They are for the most part Academics with a obvious anti-oil/pro “renewable energy” bias.
LOL... OK, how many drinks did you actually have to drink and what words did you choose?

I missed the whole speech.. I have to cut my training regimen back a bit, I reckun... but like any good crisis, I didn’t let the beer go to waste.
Good move. I missed it too. I’ll let Rush fill me in.
but...but...but...but.. they told us he was the “smartest man alive”
“A majority of Americans disapprove of how President Barack Obama has handled the devastating Gulf oil spill”
What handling? What has he done?
And I’m sure Soros or Alinsky are writing what he READS off that teleprompter.
If even 40% of those polled “like him”, or 50% as the Associated Depressed would have you believe, it is clear that we live amongst many, many folks who are extremely poor judges of character.
