Just last weekend Barack Obama announced that the BP oil spill was like 9-11. This weekend as President Obama went golfing and to the ballgame, the Obama State Department was STILL in the review process on deciding which countries the US would accept help from… 60 days after the disaster!
As the Gulf Coast shores continue to be coated with crude, the Obama Administration has only accepted assistance from 5 countries out of 28 who offered to assist the US with the cleanup.
The State Department posted this on their website. 28 countries have offered to help assist the United States with the worst environmental disaster in American history. Only 5 offers have been accepted the rest are under review.

Okay, usually I tend to be opened mind and give any president a chance...I mean, there are even some things that Clinton did that I agreed with(I was even hoping that the stimulas would’ve worked)but I’ve now really come to the conclusion that Obama is imcompetant and truly hopeless.
They have also turned down many practical cleanup solutions that are ready to go, such as simply spreading hay on the water and scooping it up, until they can be “tested and approved”. Hey nimrods, if you try it out, that’s a “test”, if it works you can approve doing more.
Obama had no intention of fixing this.
This would be a perfect time for civil disobedience. Start dumping hay and see who stops you.
0bama doesn’t really want to solve the problem. His crisis would end too soon before he can push through Cap and Trade.
You are right on and we are so screwed. Get ready for $7.00 per gal gas.
That’s what I think — he has NO INTENTION of fixing it. The worse it gets, the more he can bear down on BP, chase oil drilling from our shores, perhaps bankrupt/ nationalize BP. God only knows what O has in mind, but it is NOT to fix this problem.
He acts dumb, and he is an idiot, but he also has an agenda.
Ping
To go along with “Present” we now have “under consideration.
Agreed
And Cap and Trade will wipe up that oil spill in no time. It’s an emergency. Pass it! Quick! Think of all the baby ducks you’ll be saving! Now watch this swing.
Actually - it was at least 17 countries ignored by Pres_ _ent Obama.
Wait till they are in control of health care. Me? I’m going to start growing medicinal herbs, it will look like rocket science compared to what they’ll offer.
Your current Pres__dent doesn’t not work for you.
It might be Soros that he works for, or Maurice Strong, but he sure as hell doesn’t work FOR the American people he is sworn to protect.
I feel like I’m stuck in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I want to stand still, and point to Liberals, and scream, so everyone will be warned. ;-)
“The Perfect Storm” sequence of events:
1. March 30, 2010, Obama announces he supports off-shore drilling.
2. April 5, 2010, Coal mine explodes in Virginia.
3. April 19, 2010 is Earth Day.
4. April 20, 2010, Deepwater rig is sabotaged & explodes.
5. Gov’t willful negligence resulting in maximum environmental & economic damage, with the intended result (See 7)
6. Gov’t “shakes down” & imposes strict controls over all oil companies, including massive drilling moratoriums.
7. Citizens rebel against “big oil”.
8. Capitalizing on anger of citizens (carefully fashioned by the Gov’t to be solely against BP and not the MMS or environmentalists) Gov’t-run “Clean energy” agenda advances and replaces private company, capitalist-driven supply of American’s traditional energy.
9. In addition to Gov’t control of Banks, Auto Industry, Wall Street, Internet, Health Care.. Now add Energy to the list.
10. Too many perfect storms.. We’ve been had.
Obama figured out whose ass to kick.
I am convinced the response was held back on purpose.
” That’s what I think — he has NO INTENTION of fixing it. The worse it gets, the more he can bear down on BP, chase oil drilling from our shores, perhaps bankrupt/ nationalize BP. God only knows what O has in mind, but it is NOT to fix this problem.”
EXACTLY!
