President Barack Obama, in his televised speech to the nation Tuesday, will announce the creation of an oil recovery “czar” to oversee progress in siphoning crude from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, his chief spokesman said.

Speaking on ABC television’s “Good Morning America” program, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the position is envisioned as “somebody that will be in charge of a recovery plan, putting a recovery plan together...when we get past the cleanup and response phase of this disaster.”

No action, no leadership, no answers... just lots of empty "plans".

Just add oil:

A whole complete government operating outside constitutional bounds. Nice.

Is it impeachment time soon?

Well, this is certainly a silly move.

Why can’t he handle it? Apparently the ass kicking idea was too hard for him, so he’s opting for suffocating the oil cleanup in paperwork and bureaucracy instead.

I thought he had just put together a commission of some sort that is composed of 4 or 5 idiots from academia no one with real field experience. And now he needs another Czar to over see the commission. Socialists love committees and studies and paper work but hate to actually make a decission.

Yep.

Isn’t this WTF we have Cabinet positions for? This guy is either completely clueless or something far more sinister.

Putting together a recovery plan.

8 weeks after the explosion.

Same guys who just nationalized the medical industry, auto industry, banking and mortgage industry, student loans and coming next, the oil industry.

Hurry up November, it’s getting spooky out here.

He has to have someone to blame and plausible deniability when the recovery funds get mangled in government red tape.

Just caught something.
ozero has been the acting president for 17 months and this is his 1st address from the oval office. Did it take him that long to find it?

This man is appointing persons to office without congressional approval. He is paying them without Congressional spending oversight.

He is not ruling as president. Not in the least.

Way too late for this kind of initial response. Day One was the day for action.

For their information, without expection left or right, people think they deliberately allowed this to get out of reasonable control.

Just before the election, members of his media were talking about how obama would rule this country. Used the word “rule” many times. Presidents preside and govern, they don’t rule. African dictators rule.
