I would be the first to admit that it’s not so much Obama’s fault as it is simply that the government is impotent to fix this. Government can’t do this kind of thing, just like it can’t prevent or fix what Katrina did. But since the Dems spent the last 5 years trashing Bush over Katrina, it’s payback time, and these are the guys who’ve been wasting our tax dollars on the false promise that government can do this job, so I don’t have the least bit of sympathy for them.

Frankly, I am surprised that they eat their own. They must really believe their BS that government can deal with this kind of problem.

The Sea Bees could have this cleanup organized and under control. In Iraq they would be doing it. They are barred from doing anything. It is not that government is the answer but that government could be doing some things that would have real impact... but then obama had to play 3 1/2 hours of golf Sunday. Screw the Gulf.

I agree with your sentiment, but the fact that there have been so many screw ups in the clean up process is Obama's fault. After one week of the oil spill, Obama should have called BP's CEO and asked him what he needed to get the job done, and Obama should have then done whatever necessary to get those resources. Likewise, he should have done the same thing with the governors of each impacted state. His lack of action was pathetic.

Some have argued that Obama is protecting taxpayer dollars by insisting that BP pay for the clean up. This of course is hypocrisy. Since when did Obama care about tax payer dollars?
