Epic FAIL

President Obama

PRESENT

But not accounted for...yet

[fish hawk]

Now that wasn't so hard, was it. Too bad it's a couple months after it was offered. Ozone is so indecisive, I'm surprised he has children. (maybe they are not his)

What happened to Peta, and Greenpeace and all the rest of the so called bleeding heart liberal groups that are environmentally concerned all the time? We’re calling for foreign help before our own?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

So, like, the paperwork finally made it to his desk, or what?

[monkeybrau]

Flip-flopper. Either he was in charge for 70 days or he wasn’t.

After Katrina, about 50 Congress folks went to Holland to learn about dikes.

I'm sure BP will be paying for our Congress folks to get educated.

The best Obama Oil Spill Response video so far

Yeah, but Hillary, Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein have a special interest in dikes.

This video shown to Senate Republicans today points out the ineffective efforts by this administration to deal with the oil spill cleanup:

"The United States will accept 22 offers of assistance from 12 countries and international bodies, including two high-speed skimmers and fire containment boom from Japan," the U.S. State Department said in a statement."

Woe there partner! Better not rush in to anything, better golf on it a few more weeks or months don't you think?

Big deal, today the entire Senate Judiciary Committee is busy learning about a Dyke.

(Just a little joke)

[bboop]

NOT a go-for-it sort of guy, is he? hhaha — 71 days later, the committees have met, thought about it, considered it, put it out for more committee meetings, and given him their equivocating opinions. Then he and his committee guys sat around for another month, considering it, etc.

71 days to make a decision? What an IDIOT.

This picture is currently on Drudge; I'm not sure where it comes from or if it's been photo-shopped, but does anyone else see "the face in the water?"

[Recon Dad]

Please someone has to ask Zero why after 71 days!!! The most reactionary regime ever.

[FatherFig1o155]

Now THAT’S what I call responsiveness!

[Red_Devil 232]

Exclent video! Thanks.

Well, this is hopeful:

"We are currently working out the particular modalities of delivering the offered assistance," the State Department said.

Hopefully they'll have the modalities sorted out by next summer.

These guys will be lucky to avoid arrest by the Coast Guard and having their ships sunk by EPA.

I am hoping he will go AWOL.
