[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The US response to this spill (which I place in completely separate categories) has been despicable, sub-moronic.

It has been idiotic both from the practical standpoint...as in actually getting something done. To not have deployed oil skimming assets at the point where this spill was revealed as the size it was and is. And it has been a policy blunder from the standpoint of 0bama’s & the administration’s failure to take advantage of all the help offerings from other countries. I mean, what a miserable dumb scumbag, he could have shown he was this world leader, all connected to everything, by letting in these other countrys’ assets. But no, either he has zero leadership ability [check] or he is so beholden to the Jones act and its implications as to domestic union labor [probably check] or he is just one insensitive clod determined to make life as miserable as possible for BP.

In any interpretation, the prevention and remediation effort has been a colossal failure on his part, IMHO. I really hope he pays for it.

While I completely agree with everything else in your post, I believe that we are going to be the ones who pay, and we are going to pay dearly.

He is going to be protected by his horde.

Half of the people working for the federal government have to be let go. They are underworked, overpaid, cruising porn sites, fat, some minority group or other and worthless. That's Greece's basic problem.

Just check out California's situation.

And sell or raze the office buildings they worked in.

Not only is Obama utterly incapable, he’s giving Chicago politics a bad name. In Chi, the tradition always was: “We don’t care how you do it, just get it done. Fix the potholes, pick up the garbage, plow the snow.”

You can be corrupt, but you must be competent. Obama is corrupt and incompetent.

Unforgivable!
