On 'Manmade Catastrophe,' Obama Says Be 'Prepared for the Worst' and Hope for Better News From BP
abcnews.com/politicalpunch ^ | June 5, 2010 | Sunlen Miller

Taped from Caminada Bay in Grand Isle, La., on Friday, President Obama warned people in his weekly address to be “prepared for the worst,” even as everyone hopes that BP’s efforts “bring better news than we’ve received before.”

“Over the last few days, BP has placed a cap over the well, and it appears they’re making progress in trying to pump oil to the surface to keep it from leaking into the water,” Obama said in the address, taped from Caminada Bay in Grand Isle, La., on Friday. "But as has been the case since the beginning of this crisis, we are prepared for the worst, even as we hope that BP’s efforts bring better news than we’ve received before.”

The president said that regardless of the outcome of this latest attempt to stem the oil flow, there still will be some spillage until the relief wells are complete and there will continue to be a massive clean up ahead.

Well, not all of us can afford the malpractice insurance premiums. Oral surgeons also cannot tolerate the sounds of screams when we do some of our more.. 'delicate' works. Wusses. And we like weekends just as much as you do.

Um, by the way, do you prefer novacaine during procedures?

Im tuff. Just the shots in the mouth will do.

If you lived in my state you could make some quick bucks.
I understand the weekend thing but PAIN and air conditionings breaking and emergencies always happens on the weekend.
Dentists don’t even advertise they will do it triple rate on Saturday is all I am saying.

Oh well 600 mgs of advil.

That’s just it. All of the things I outlined are not done so easily once elected. I may also add no more lawyers as Presidents. We do better with Reagan actors ;)

There is a hidden power of huge amounts of money behind the scenes... richest sheik citi mortgage owner, George Soros that need stopped. Money talks a great influence of creating a radical black President, enemy within. SEIU,ACLU,ACORN

And hell the damned radical black panthers now have a high standing of influence in our country. The monster was carefully crafted and infiltrated all gov entities and education.

Can one common sense voice stop it?

We live in Oklahoma, where there is the occasional tornado. I recall a very small one that singled out a neighbor’s trees for a take-down.

Within 15 minutes of the storm clearing out, the entire neighborhood was out in the person’s front yard cleaning up. A couple of guys brought their chain saws and somebody else organized teams of neighbors to pile up the cut limbs and stuff.

We made short work of that mess, working together as neighbors to help a neighbor. It’s The American Way.

By contrast, The Obama Way is to point fingers and demand the guilty party pay for the clean up, threatening them to get his way.

The slime.

Yeah and what galled me was him calling off a military tradition fly by of a GOD AND COUNTRY festival.

Obama uses his communist democratic liberal ideals of separation of Church and State to hide his utter hate and disdain for Christianity.

Lessee heyah...He says “Manmade Catastrophe”, “...prepare for the worst”, and I had nuthin’ ta do wid it, it’s all British Petroleum’s fault that I went and played golf, and partied hearty.

I think that sums it up.

Who ever is at fault, it is a disaster for America. A good and proper president would have reacted immediately to protect her waters, or at least shown some concern. The gravity of the situation will destroy the recreation and the fishing industries down there, not to mention the wildlife. But instead this guy had concerts in the White House, played golf, went on vacation, shot hoops and hobnobbed with some famous sportsmen for a photo opportunity. It would seem he was unconcerned, if not gleeful with the help in pulling the nation down.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

It was a measure already in place to do with no permission that was some how stopped. Only Obama could have stopped it.
As the article states politics stopped it.

Can you imagine if this happened under Bush's tenure, and he said to hope for good news from BP? Ha!

And here's how Obama's fall begins:

Depends on what is motivating him. If his motivation is to prevent the oil from coming ashore, he's incompetent beyond belief. However, if his motivation is to allow an ecological disaster of biblical proportions to happen so that he can use the 24/7 news cycle to hasten the growth of America's disgust with "big oil" in order to weaken the USA by, among other things, outlawing all domestic offshore oil exploration, making us more dependent on foreign oil sources, then it's not exactly incompetence at all, is it?

I do suspect that 0bama's lack of concern is to allow a catastrophe in order to acquire political advantage. If so, we are witnessing at worst an administration that is profoundly evil - one that is presiding over the proliferation of partial birth abortion and a deliberate ecological and economic disaster. After all, no one would argue that it has been the leftist ideologues, such as Hitler and Stalin, that have been guilty of the greatest evil in our history.

The news and article is dated and well hidden by the MSM that blame BP.

SEE post # 5 here in this thread...

It’s a ruse.
