yeah, but that doesn’t mean that he will even attempt to answer it even if he babbles on for 15 minutes

Maybe the press is starting to lose their fear of the tinhorn dicktator.

Maybe, just maybe their ratings are so low and they can't even stomach supporting him after the Ragu Beef and the Mole' Sauce while hearing of old friends and relatives out of work.

Maybe just maybe they will throw his adminstration under the bus (metaohorically) just to save their sorry @$$es.

ABC's "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer addressed viewers from the shorelines of Louisiana tonight. She reported on the "anger" that is focused on Washington. "We saw a pickup truck that had a hand painted sign that said 'BP + The Feds = Another Katrina,'" Sawyer reported. ABC News reports "some of the president's supporters have questioned his leadership," referring to the anger heard from Louisiana natives (and Democratic strategists) Donna Brazile and James Carville. "One of the problems I have with the administration is that they're not tough enough," Brazile said. Gov. Jindal (R-LA) says he is frustrated. Admiral Thad Allen, the man in charge of federal response admitted the "government doesn't have everything it needs" and if the government did push BP out of the way would raise the question they would no one to replace them with. --Link.

I think it’s his nonchalant attitude toward the oil spill. He said he was pro environment but his actions prove otherwise. This is a disaster that has no real end in site at the rate BP is effing up. zer0 is happy to let them do as they please as long as it doesn’t interfere with his golf game and parties.

Bankers is one of the pillars of power in the US. They gave Obama tons of money for his campaign. Now he has turned on them and the bankers in response will turn on him via their influence in the MSM. Seen this happen during the NAFTA debate. The MSM was always pro union over management, but somehow when it came to NAFTA they went pro Mexican and screwed the union opposition. Not surprised, the major corporations owned the three networks and stood to make tons of money on NAFTA. They simply picked up the phone and told the editors what pro NAFTA stories they wanted on the air. Too bad the internet and the Tea Party was not around back then.

they will be drinking Obama’s and Gibb’s BATHWATER again ASAP

I'm not so sure. The admin is getting more and more stuck between the rock and hard place on this one. I'm thinking this could be the issue to do major, major damage to the White House cabal. The left is EXTREMEMLY upset at Obama over this issue already, but he doesn't dare cater to their demands for fear of causing the stock market to take a very steep dive.

This is getting interesting.

It was a big story when they created him, a bigger story if they destroy him.

“Networks PLANTED this story precisely to shore up credibility but CONTINUE, myrmidon-like, to give Zero the “full-Monica”.”

Yup, this is just so they can say how objective they have been. They are full of crap!

I think that this is one that is way out of his league. His administration’s incompetence is shining bright.

Yes and after the Exxon Valdez debacle, the oil spills and containment can all be federalized to ‘better coordinate the response’. As we see right now, instead of EPA ordering BP to change dispersant, which they cannot do because of lack of availability, Obama should just make the call ...

The problem has become the inordinate lack of experience of the Obama Regime has now become painfully apparent to all.

The 1990 OPA was designed to prevent “this from ever happening again” scenarios, which are now happening again. You can find the proper responsibility clauses in the OPA Act, section 4201 amended by 311. Briefly, IT GIVES THE PRESIDENT THE AUTHORITY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY, for total authority of containment and cleanup. Get to it Obama.

Next time Obama, you may want to make sure the agencies actually order the fire booms, instead of recommend ordering the fire booms. You see your own government study say fire booms, on site immediately, and burning the oil are the best known containment actions that could be taken.

Too bad Obummer can't read. It's a problem a lot of little tyrants have.

Obama needs to go below 40 in approval. Most political pros tell you that any politician hitting 40 or below, rarely recovers to win. 44 is close but not there yet.

Journos take this job FOR ACTIVISM, to AFFECT THE OUTCOME. They are NOT detached observers, no, no, no.

They simply sense a public expectation that they “ask tough questions”, so they cook up this fellatious pap; “Oh now our rose tinted glasses are off, and we’re all worked up..!”

WHAT A FRIGGIN LIE..! They think WE ARE STUPID.

They’re behind him more than ever, and it will STAY like that.

Good —anything that hastens their downfall I’m ALL FOR..!

Oh, also I saw comments on DU which were PRAISING Jindal for doing MORE than Obama. Some amazing dynamics at work here.
