President Barack Obama said Friday that some members of Congress should share the blame for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
In an exclusive one-on-one interview with POLITICO, the president said: “I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and I had said we need to crack down a lot harder on oil companies and we need to spend more money on technology to respond in case of a catastrophic spill, there are folks up there, who will not be named, who would have said this is classic, big-government overregulation and wasteful spending.”
The president also implied that anti-big government types such as Tea Party activists were being hypocritical on the issue.
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,” Obama said. “Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”

Actually he is the second coming of Bart’s dad, Homer. Obama is delusional, nothing is ever his fault, he takes responsibility one minute and blames others the next.
How the MSM can continue to cover for this imbecile is beyond me. Even they have to realize the longer they cover for this doofus in chief, the more of their credibility they lose.
LOL, thats a keeper!
Name ‘em then Oblamo.
I doubt it. I think his failure will not be linked to his color, but to his lack of competence, like Jimmy Carter.
Well I say to O why did you give BP an award for safety
and the fact that you did means you can not use your hypothetical trash talk—— Oh thats right the media is in is your back pocket nevermind carry on
Jimmeh Cahtuh was never this whiney, never this ineffectual, never this incompetent.
Compared to Barack Obama, Jimmeh Cahtuh was a titan.
How many hours after this interview is released until there be an AP article blaming the Tea Party?
What an arrogant and stupid puss. (Barry)
Jimmy was incompetent; Barry is doing it deliberately.
so now I guess he will be threatening to kick some congrass. Blame, threaten. His consistency in those areas are remarkable.
Obama clearly passed healthcare reform and didn’t care that the American people didn’t want it. He passed the stimulus when the American people didn’t want it and he is fixing to use this crisis to nationalize the oil companies and pass capn tax.
Since when does Obama care what anyone wants? What is it about representative government that the clown doesn’t get?
He sounds like a petulant little snot nosed child running around blaming everyone for something he did.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Lightweight POS. Next thing I know he will be blaming my dead ancestors. What a prick.
The electorate is learning just like in Carter. Negative, loser presidents are not popular.
Gotta just love this guy. He's living in a world filled, with the exception of himself, with incompetent fools. He's so gracious and dignified. He truly is The One.
Well, don't get carried away now, Okie.)
You overlook that Bush tried to send in the national guard but then Gov. Blanco and the chocolate NOLA mayor refused...until the damage was done. Then Bush was blamed and didn't set the facts straight.
In this case, Gov. Jindal has BEGGED for help from the feds from the get go and has gotten nothing but the runaround!
