nobama is brilliant. He will save us. Maybe he can have a “cash for clunker oil” program or maybe a “midnight oil basketball” program? I am so proud of him. He knows everything and is in control of everything. He is my hero. (so SARC that I make myself sick)

I guess it’s, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”, time.

Shit, it took him 10 days just to respond to it.

Worthless *%&$#)@&), like he'd know anything about how to stop the leak! Party on Obanga, it's nothing, move along.

Am not hearing Obama’s EcoWaco friends asking, where was Obama?
Again, liberals have double standards.

If they can severe steel beams with charges(Ever watch MasterBlasters?), why can`t they cause a controlled crushing or collapse of the tubular piping that can at least slow the flow? An underwater ROV can place the charge.

I wish it were a simple matter of O being stupid. Unfortunately, he isn’t...he’s intentional & on mission.

“By the way, I just want to point out, I was told there was drizzling out here — (laughter) — is this Louisiana drizzle right here? (Laughter.)”

Anyone else happen to see this part live? He was obviously peeved that the “drizzle” had turned into rain during his speech. Every day I am more sick for my country with this self-centered punk at the helm.

Jindal wimp. Couldn’t even speak out against his aide getting attacked. No words blaming Obama for taking so long and playing golf?

Where are the republicans???????

... and not only did it only take him ten days, his statement “may take many days” is absolutely brilliant!

I wish I was as much a brainiac as his fans believe he is.

Bono Meets Obama
By HELENE COOPER

There are a whole lot of celebrities in town this weekend for the annual razzle-dazzle that is the White House Correspondents Dinner.

But not too many get into the Oval Office to see the big man himself.

Unless, of course, you’re Bono.

U2’s lead crooner and all-round celebrity do-gooder met with President Obama and his national security team to “discuss the administration’s development strategy heading into the upcoming G-8 and G-20 meetings in Canada and September’s U.N. Summit on the Millenium Development Goals,” Bono’s advocacy group, ONE, said in a statement.

...Still looking for republicans to step and say something? Give them another 10 days, then they can try to use this to there political advantage...

...If tea tea party had just thrown bags in the Gulf, it might have helped, instead of wasting time trying to clean up the pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial...

...Seems some folks will never realize these DC elite don’t care shit about anything but there own arses. This is a done deal, clean it up...

How could it take days? Our Dear Leader already sent a team of lawyers. Is that not enough? Do we really need more than just lawyers to stop an oil leak, and if we do has Obama realized it yet?

"Obama says stopping oil spill could take many days"

The man's a dipstick - he ought to know oil.

“And while there will be time to fully investigate what happened on that rig and hold responsible parties accountable, our focus now is on a fully coordinated, relentless response effort to stop the leak and prevent more damage to the Gulf.

I want to thank the thousands of Americans who’ve been working around the clock to stop this crisis — whether it’s the brave men and women of our military, or the local officials who call the Gulf home. They are doing everything in their power to mitigate this disaster, prevent damage to our environment, and help our fellow citizens. “

That was the only part of the speech that sounded Presidential.

But I fear that when he says it will take days to stop the leak, you better think it will take a lot longer. We are all going to feel this. I’m heartsick. Praying that the “Apollo 13”-like command center I heard was set up is as good as those guys back in Mission Control on those dark days many years ago. It is going to take a man made miracle to stop this thing. Failure is not an option. Then the long work begins.

“Shit, it took him 10 days just to respond to it.”

And it will take five to figure out how he can work this to his advantage.

And another two to figure out how to blame Bush.

Most incompetent guy in the room. Any Room.
