If you only listened to President Obama, you wouldn’t even know an oil spill is occurring in the Gulf. He hasn’t spoken publicly about the oil spill since June 22 when he announced it was on a laundry list of items discussed at a cabinet meeting. Before that, on June 16, he spoke briefly after negotiating his secret liability deal with BP. Other than those two instances, the president hasn’t spent another public moment focusing on the spill since he began fighting the “battle” against “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced” from the Oval Office four weeks ago.
The media not only haven’t asked him a question about the crisis, they have been complicit in its degradation, allowing the president to ignore the plight of his fellow Americans without journalistic oversight. In less than two weeks, we’ll hit Day 100, and the media will regain focus for the arbitrary and news-friendly date, but what will they cover on Day 101? And imagine BP manages to cap the leak – as we all pray occurs – without the streaming video of oil gushing, how much attention will the national media and the president give to the remaining environmental and economic crisis?
The Heritage Foundation sent a team of experts to Louisiana last week to see first-hand the crisis and the coordinated response. Based on earlier reports, our expectations were low. However, the federal government’s involvement turned out to be so much worse.
The first thing we actually heard from every single Louisianan we spoke with had nothing to do with the capping or cleanup of the oil — it was the devastating impact of the Obama drilling moratorium...

It’s starting to look like the well just might finally be capped soon.
If so, look for the MSM to hail Obama as a hero and watch for him to throw himself a ticker-tape parade.
The entirety of this lamearse idiot-ridden Jack Squat administration is, and has been, stuck on stupid....couple that with the lame MSM and you have one huge arse clusterfrak of idiots stuck on stupid....we are frakin dooooooOmed I tell ya. =.=
I have relied upon freerepublic for any spill related news for sometime now. Can’t really find news on it elsewhere.
If Bush were President, would the media go a month, or even an hour without questioning him? THAT, is all you need to know about this “crisis”.
When you've got a narcissistic idiot in charge, stupid is as good as it gets.
The problem is that when Obama worries about the oil spill it ruins his Golf game and his vacations.
Now you wouldn’t want that would you?
They need time to prepare the monitors...ya know.
“Oil Spill Response is ‘Stuck on Stupid’”
In that regard, it could be said to characterize the entire White House.
Takes just a minute or so to watch this oil flow...no sound..done by the University of Hawaii...
