Associated Press ^ | June 15, 2010

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama called the Gulf of Mexico oil spill "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced" and will take years to combat.

Obama in a speech Tuesday night from the Oval Office said that "unlike an earthquake or a hurricane, it is not a single event that does its damage in a matter of minutes or days."

...and you’re responsible, Barack. Not that anyone would know this, mind you.

I think he is right. At least about the first two paragraphs.

I’d say whatever wiped out the dinosours was the worst environmental disaster. We’ll work through this.

Am I the only one who suspects this oil spill was manufactured by Obama and his legions of thugs as a means of seizing power?

Within living memory America has suffered from the Dust Bowl, and that was very, very, very bad.

His grandmother could have told him about it.

Well, his boss, George Soros is certainly cleaning up like the bandit he is. The longer the drilling mortatorium goes on, the more money he makes:

Nope, you’re not the only one.
But not just to seize power, but to thug money out of BP to give to SEIU.

0bama is the dipstick in the middle of the oil slick.

Sounds like the new positioning is that poor BHO is facing something WORSE than Katrina or 9/11, as those didn’t take place over this length of time.

These guys are shameless. Pay no attention to what we’ve actually done in the past 6 weeks - pay attention to what we are saying now. Has a Wizard of Oz like quality.

Hey BO...Google “Lakeview Gusher”...it was an immense out of control pressurized oil well blow out in California. Now it was 100 years ago in 1910. But it blew out 9,000,000 barrels of oil over an 18 month span.
Biggest ecological disaster? I think not you over inflated TOTUS reading recepticle for worst POTUS in history award.

I don’t think the spill was manufactured but the foot dragging response was clearly deliberate.

As I understand it, obama’s email to supporters all but admitted that it was done to punish conservatives into compliance.

I’m still resisting.

Absolutely not.

The lights went out on the rig just before the explosion.
SWAT teams of some kind were sent to all Gulf rigs by 0bama.
Stories from the Russians about some kind of NK mini-sub off Cuba.
Gore’s call for civil disobedience regarding Green Left crap.

The Feds knew the extent by April 24th at least. There’s audio and video proof.

AGW is disproved. So, now, the NWO has to use some other tactic to get Cap ‘n Tax passed ‘for the children.’

Of course, some people won’t believe until they’re actually at the train station waiting for the box cars, or, when they receive the boxes of ash delivered in the mail of their missing relatives’ remains, rings, etc. If they ever do receive them that is.

The Feds KNEW and did NOTHING.

High Treason.
