It will when you drag your heels to “clean your room”.

Obama doesn’t care about American people.

Does that include the week and half it took him to say anything about it at all?
See, what he’s accomplishing from his position of Objective Olympian Omniscience by saying ‘many days’
is an embedded opportunity to exploit just how catastrophically serious it was when it winds up taking
‘many weeks’, or ‘many months’ instead of ‘many days’.
Just like the permanent avalanche of bad stuff his Administration inherited from (get ready now) EIGHT YEARS OF FAILED BUSH POLICIES......

Obama has a strange habit of stating the obvious as if it is a morsel of the great wisdom of the ages. Must be a result of all that patronizing white liberal attention he enjoyed all his life.

Hey Obozo, how many days went by before you actually paid any attention to this catastrophe?

Many days? He’s so dumb. It’ll take years, they still haven’t capped the thing.

“I heard it will take months..”
~~~~~~~~

Obama: “this leak is unique and unprecedented, it could take many days to stop.”

Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard and now National Incident Commander of the Gulf Coast oil spill:

“It will take at least three months to effectively stop the flow of oil.”
~~~~~~~~~~~

OBAMA: Currently, the most advanced technology available is being used to try and stop a leak that is more than 5,000 feet under the surface. Because this leak is unique and unprecedented, it could take many days to stop.

That’s why we’re also using every resource available to stop the oil from coming ashore and mitigating the damage it could cause. And much of the discussion here at the center was focused on if we, and when we have to deal with these mitigation efforts.
~~~~~~~~~~

May 3, 2010 - Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard

It will take at least three months to effectively stop the flow of oil rushing through a damaged well that is leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico, Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, and now National Incident Commander of the Gulf Coast oil spill said Monday morning.

He said it could take many days to stop.

He was probably chuckling to himself when he said this, thinking of all the political hay he can make from such an environmental crisis.

"...Most incompetent guy in the room. Any Room..."

That statement (Did Rush originate it?) sure does hit the nail on the head.

I noticed that too. Jindal seems to be acting like a deer caught in the headlights. That is why they got rid of the last gov. there. What little chance he had for higher office is pretty much gone. Maybe the governor of Mississippi could go down there, he knows how to handle a crisis.

Obama had the perfect opportunity to peddle an anti-oil campaign for his idiot base. Instead, his own leftists are calling this “Obama’s Katrina”

I am 70 miles away in Mississippi and I want the Fed to get the heck out of here and let the people that are not incompetent deal with it. BP is already setting up offices to help those affected... and I am affected. This could kill off my 36 year old marine related business.

thanks...but if any one had suggested a WHITE hat, he would have chided them for "acting stupidly" and being "a racist". LOL
