Obama's Latest Shakedown
davidlimbaugh.com ^ | 06/17/10 | david limbaugh

President Obama's oil spill speech revealed, once again, how stunningly shameless he is. This relentless ideologue is not even marginally competent at masking his ongoing crusade to apply a wrecking ball to every sector of our economy and remake it in his own image.

And I do mean "his" own image. Once again, his speech was loaded with first-person references, from "I refuse to let (Gulf Coast residents lose their way of life)" to "I expect (the new commission tasked with determining the cause of the explosion) to do that work thoroughly and impartially" to "I am happy to look at other ideas and approaches from either party." More on that last howler in a moment.

Obama's MO is so predictable that sophisticated practitioners of Marxist transformation should be embarrassed. Then again, Obama doesn't need to be subtle; he is the president -- a president who rejects the constitutional limitations that applied to his mortal predecessors.

How many “I’s” did he use in this speech...out of curiosity? Is his “I” level up or down since the last speech?

I think all was agreed on before bp ever went to the table with the 20 billion to make it look like obama was doing something...of course all I saw was the law being passed over. thats what a bunch of law breaking lawyers do for themselves.

Fusion - mentioned zero times.

Nuclear - mentioned zero times.

“I” mentioned 22 times.

Worse, what unmitigated gall for the undocumented
Pres_ _ent to invoke “a man safely on the surface
of the moon” when he personally destroyed NASA.

His whole speech was an attempt to deflect blame from his on inexperience and incompetence. BP may be responsible for the leak, but obama is responsible for the disaster caused by his inability or refusal to act.

Did anyone else notice how the child-king intoned, “I will require BP to pay 20 billion dollars...” and then later it was released that this was BP’s idea and they had already agreed to do this.

Doesn't this reflect on Obama’s character and integrity?

Maybe it is just me. But I thought this was a very cheap and disingenuous thing to do.

The Marxists are patient - and never give up. Step by step, inch by inch......
The more the oil spills, the better it is for them. They're taking their time on the spill for a reason. What's the rush?

Hillary....."We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good"

Hillary at the DNC winter meeting........"The other day, the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits and put them into a strategic energy fund"

"Doesn't this reflect on Obama’s character and integrity?

In the light of Pres_ _ent Obama's systematic treason,
and in the absence of a real American birth certificate,
-- like everyone else --, "Obama" should not be used in an
English sentence with the word "integrity".

LOL Was I the only one to notice how idiotic Obama looked seated at that BIG, EMPTY DESK? He looked like a kindergartner sitting at a high school desk. He looked small and incompetent which is exactly what he is!

WASHINGTON — The Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico was built in South Korea. It was operated by a Swiss company under contract to a British oil firm. Primary responsibility for safety and other inspections rested not with the U.S. government but with the Republic of the Marshall Islands — a tiny, impoverished nation in the Pacific Ocean.

snip

Brown's lawyer and others say the Marshall Islands licensed the Deepwater Horizon in a way that allowed its owner, Transocean, to place an oil drilling expert — the so-called Offshore Installation Manager — ahead of a licensed sea captain in making decisions on the day of the explosion. This dual command structure emphasized oil production over safety and created confusion that delayed an effective response to the growing crisis aboard the Deepwater Horizon, he and others allege.

Well I know from my corporate experience, which Obama does not have, you can't do this kind of crap.

It always comes out and then nobody believes anything you say. In the corporate world internally, in the senior ranks, credibility is the most valuable thing you bring to the table. People have to be able to believe you know what you are talking about a believe what you say.

Lose credibility, and you become a joke and are done. That's it. It's over.

Obama is a mess. He is a rank amateur in way over his head. He needs the boot. ASAP Otherwise, he is going to sink this country and all of us with it.
