Obama Defends Oil Spill Response, Cites Mistakes – Political Hotsheet – CBS News

Those who think that we were either slow on our response or lacked urgency don’t know the facts. This has been our highest priority since this crisis occurred.”

Clearly it has. The White House has been bending over backwards to shield their good friends and corporate sponsors, BP. They care a lot about keeping them safe at the expense of our environment, coastline economy and gulf coast residents. That has been very apparent since day one.

Pelosi’s Bad Hair Day: Salon Collects Hair for Gulf Oil Cleanup – Washington Wire – WSJ

So, Pelosi’s too much of a snob to think outside the box or see the value in empowering people who want to help…

I do like her complaining about the lack of clean-up technology. It’s just too bad she had to show the stick in her ass over the hair clippings though. It’s new. It works. It was created by citizens because the government and oil industry couldn’t be bothered. Sort of an allegory for the only chance we have of saving our coastline. Clearly the government is not going to be ANY help AT ALL.

100,000 teachers nationwide face layoffs

Back to reality.

Obama, the education teacher.

…The kind of education a kid gives themselves on the streets or in jail that is apparently.

So much for improving education and making it more accessible to everyone, everywhere. He couldn’t have had something in place by now to avoid travesties like this? Oh right, he was too busy arrogantly putting all of his eggs in one basket for 15 months and not-so-secretly giving oral sex to Big Oil.

Gulf Oil Spill: Obama Says Fed Gov’t in Charge of Efforts to Contain Leak, Not BP – ABC News

Clearly. Because they are ones throwing the press conferences and telling the world they are pretty much letting BP do everyone because the US government isn’t equipped to do so.

They’re is such an unprecedented level of activity on the part of the government that every where coastal residents go they trip over someone who is there to help. A veritable of flurry of activity.

Sure.

I think this link says it all: The US government at work saving the Gulf Coast

Obama: Malia Asked “Did you Plug The Hole Yet, Daddy?” – – CBS News

Waaaah wehhh wwaaaaaaa.

Sometimes Obama, who infers that he thinks the ocean is sacred in his comments, thinks those “folks down in Louisiana expressing frustrations” are being unfair to him.

Poor Barack. People that count on him to protect them, people he let down, are pointing out that he’s slacking on the job and leaving their asses hanging out int the wind. The nerve.

Life is so unfair! Boo hoo.

U.S. Deepwater Drilling’s Future – Council on Foreign Relations

A few analysts even contend the oil spill could become a deepwater version of Three Mile Island, the 1979 accident that brought an end to nuclear power plant construction in the United States, and from which the industry has yet to recover.

We can only hope.

Especially if they can’t clean up after themselves.

BP Oil Spill: Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Asks for More Help – ABC News

Can I tell you how much it kills me that a Republican with Presidential aspirations seems like he’s actually paying attention to damage control and protecting the people who elected him tons upon tons more than that guy who I volunteered for even though I had my reservations???

Argh. Fuck it. Somebody, anybody, just do… something!
