You need to start a “Caption Photo” thread. They are rich.

We can have a blast with these! :)

Nice breakdown there MojitoJoe. I appreciate the nuances involved and realize Obama will break protocol to recognize this guy ASAP, kiss his arse etc.

That’s too bad.

I’m going to admit I see problems with signing folks like the Ukrane up for NATO. On Russia’s doorstep, I see problems with it.

How would we like it if China or Russia made Mexico a satellite? It just causes friction. I couldn’t blame Russia for being angry about it.

Now, do I sympathize with the Ukrane and want to draw them close to the West? You bet I do. Trade with them is probably a good thing, and selling them certain weapons could be done on the sly as well.

It’s a sticky wicket IMO.

He’s gay. I’m convinced at this point. He may not realize it himself, but the bowing, and the prissy photos we always see tell me he is gay.

Obama dithered
Oiled pelicans slithered

Obama stalled
Dying birds crawled

Obama stumbled
Marine life was humbled

Obama demurred
Dying seals were not heard

Obama hit the links
The dead shoreline stinks

Obama prevaricated
Marine life was fated

Obama waffled
Dolphins were all killed

Obama stalled
Beaches were tar balled

Obama tarried
Dead turtles were buried

Obama talked of kicking ass
Oil killed the sea grass

Obama fumed
And the slick was not boomed

[Vendome]

Just in time. He is really on top of things.

Weak ass weasel.

What? Is he letting everyone live in his head? Rent Free?

Bumper Ball....

[tallyhoe]

Why is he meeting him now? Why not take them down first so they have no money for clean up or paying for lost business!!!!

[ElkGroveDan]

Let me guess, they are going to have a photo op with a couple of beers and then Obama’s going to kick his ass?

Is Biden gonna show up just in time to be the third wheel again?

..prolly, another thing their too scared to talk about is they've cracked the whole sea floor for about 20 miles around and there are enormous seeps everywhere now.These wells, when left alone, feed the ones above through these types of cracks.

But the brilliant brits thought they could just wander over and poke a stick in one of "our' feeder wells to see what happens.

I think Obummer should go to the BP HQ in London, hat in hand. He owes them an apology for disparaging the company.
