Most Americans do not believe President Obama has a clear plan to deal with the oil spill in the Gulf, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll.

Just 32 percent say Mr. Obama has a clear plan to deal with the oil leak, while 59 percent (including 64 percent of Gulf coast residents) say he does not.

The spill isn't the only issue on which the president is seen as lacking a plan of action: Just 41 percent say Mr. Obama has a clear plan for developing new sources of energy, while 45 percent say he has no clear plan. And when it comes to creating jobs, just 34 percent say he has a clear plan; 54 percent say he does not.

A majority of Americans - 61 percent - says the president's response to the oil spill was too slow. Just 31 percent say they have "a lot" of confidence in his ability to handle a crisis

Hussein is a national disgrace of epoch proportion. God willing, he will drag all his cohorts down the toilet bowl with him.

Consider this carefully folks -

in the senate bill that Kerry is proposing,

THERE ARE NO PROVISIONS FOR “ALTERNATE” ENERGY.

It’s all about reducing energy usage. They don’t want us to have or use energy.

No, no no... he says he needs to know whose ass to kick after 51 days.

What I'm reading from this is a vote of no confidence in this man's ability to lead a crisis. Electoral kiss of death pretty much. Hard to come back from that.

Oh I think the flaming socialist/marxist has a very clear plan to replace our Democratic Republic with socialism/marxism. He just won’t openly admit to his plan.

Even though he had voted for Obama, McChrystal and his new commander in chief failed from the outset to connect. The general first encountered Obama a week after he took office, when the president met with a dozen senior military officials in a room at the Pentagon known as the Tank.

According to sources familiar with the meeting, McChrystal thought Obama looked “uncomfortable and intimidated” by the roomful of military brass.

Their first one-on-one meeting took place in the Oval Office four months later, after McChrystal got the Afghanistan job, and it didn’t go much better. “It was a 10-minute photo op,” says an adviser to McChrystal. “Obama clearly didn’t know anything about him, who he was. Here’s the guy who’s going to run his f-—ing war, but he didn’t seem very engaged. The Boss was pretty disappointed.”
