If I were to vote today, Obama would not get my vote. I am fully disappointed by the lack of effective management of the oil spill crisis and I see nothing but wasted time in the administration's set of actions. It is not enough to punish BP and rip them a new hole for the incident, the oil flow into the waters of the gulf must be stopped immediately. I see no "yes we can" attitude coming from the president anymore and thus, I cannot support his passive management of this environmental disaster.

I'm not even addressing the cleaning effort. It's like cleaning a restaurant floor from piss, all while the bathrooms keep flooding in. It's ridiculous that there is no military level operation to fix the issue: the oil leak. Plug it, stomp it, choke it - I don't care. I just can't stand the result: oil killing the underwater sea-bed, the marine life, the shores - and with them, the jobs of fishermen, restaurant and hotel workers. It's pure incompetence.
I didnt vote for him.
It's nice to see your intellectually honest with yourself Theo..... The power of the Presidency could of prevented most of this Oil from washing up on the shores of the Gulf states, I've repeatedly said this from the very beginning, but all we have heard from the Obama hardcore drones is;
"It's not the Governments responsibility"
Sorry, but it IS!!!!
It IS the responsibility of the US Government to protect our coastlines from such a disaster, Especially when it was so evident that BP was incapable of handling it themselves.
But aside from this Oil disaster, you really should be far more disappointed with Obama's reckless and irresponsible handling of the economy for the past 19 months, If this human wrecking ball continues on the path he's on, were going to have a double dip recession, no question about it.
America voted for a inexperienced candidate and they got one
Say all you want about Sarah Palin, but with her experience dealing with big oil, she could of done a FAR better job dealing with this spill and the economy than this "empty suit" ever could.
Please vote Republican in 2012, America can not sustain another 4 years
of Liberal policies that are fiscally and socially destroying the country..

What happens if the oil can't be stopped?
This guy has too many things on his plate.
Very soon all the restaurants near the shore will have a big ad on the front window :"Free Oil Change with any Meal"
I just hope that's all it is..Originally Posted by Acro
In my opinion it's outright criminal.

Gas prices go up lol
Seriously though not sure.
I am totally furious on the oil spill thing, so much so I can't bare to read or look at pics of it. It's disgusting and so totally uncalled for! Should make all the BP exces live on the oil beach fronts and force them to clean everything! F'ing greedy scumbucket oil greedmeisters!!
But, ...
Funny you blame Obama for it. Do you not think that 'if' the military or government had a solution they would have used long before now??? (yeah I know, 'no, they're keeping it hidden for political benefits') Unfortunately the government and military is not in the oil drilling business, and thus they don't have the applicable equipment or structure for it. (Just some corrupt and patsy supposed to be - 'regulators'.
) Oil drilling etc. is, and has always been done by 'private industry' who have no interest in any thing other than the bukaloo $'s that they are raking in. Environment/Safety be dammed!! This is the fault 'only' of the greed cost cutting BP oil company. So it seems lame blaming Obama (or the government) for not having the answers to fix it, because that would imply you think 'someone' else (a republican?
I just think the blame needs to be laid where it belongs, and not arbitrarily laid on anyone for the purpose of one's relief of helpless self frustration. jmo.
I just watched AC360 on CNN. Pretty much, political "committees" are chit-chatting with BP - which is refusing direct answer - about how to proceed with regards to a) involving American scientists to examine the source of the problem - the spill - while it's ongoing and b) to involve the federal government into the oil spill region. BP is simply stalling. The magnitude of potential penalty is in the $6 billion dollar region, if it were proven that the daily spill is e.g. 60,000 barrels vs. 30,000. This waste of time is catastrophic.
hawkeye, who is the ****ing president right now? It's not Palin, it's Obama. I want to see the guy "get angry" - as he said he was - and do something while the matter is still manageable. In terms of political support, Obama has lost mine. This cluster**** will cost him whatever chances he had for a 2nd term.
Yes it's called 'regulation'. Something fought against and deemed unneccessary by Republicans!
Yeah he may not have it turned around, he did put a stop to the spriralling free fall that Bush left the economy in!! (fact!) Remember who gave us this economy!!
This is too funny. She can't even get thru an interview without messing up something, misquoting someone, blamming somebody for something. Ok, unless Sean 'The Divider' Hannity is there. (Moron himself) And she's really 'up' on her hero- Ronald Reagan. Well, unless she's speaking 'facts' about him at a college graduation!And that was only a week ago!! Thought in that ladies head, would die of loneliness!!
At least favor a 'human'.
Again, I don't want to hear about Palin, or bozo the clown. I don't want to hear about "what if the Terminator were president". I want to hear WTF is Obama doing right now, or the latest, Monday, to resolve this situation. Trust me, BP is looking after #1 - themselves.
Acro, I just want to know 'what' you think he should do, that will fix the leak?? Ranting and raving and yelling on tv is just that! But it doesn't fix the leak! If you or someone has the answer, I'm sure he and 'anyone' would listen. The 'fix' issue is something that 'should have been' thought-out and required beforehand, not in a 'now situation'.
What he should do? The guy needs to become "aggressive". Right now he's Mr. Cool.
Step in and mobilize "the powers to be" that possess the technical and scientific know-how.
Exert political and corporate pressure onto BP and the British government.
Be in constant watch of the situation and report daily to the American people about the progress.
Eliminate red tape and establish direct communication with the personnel that handles the operation.
Establish a bipartisan committee to multiply the pressure onto BP and other oil empires.
I'd be demanding if I asked that he should take a ride to the platform and then a deep dive into the muck that the waters have become?
I get emails occasionnally from him and some staffers. You want me to forward these on? They may not have thought of those options, with a war, er 2 wars, a recession, Irans nuclear ambitions, the Middle East, etc, etc...
Acro we're all frustrated and angry over this, but to blame Obama is far fetched. Heck why not hold 'every' president or head of state that has a oil rig in our 'international' water ways responsible too. Their companies don't have solutions if this were to happen to them either. England of all countries should be doing the most, as it's an embarrassment to them. But since BP is tied to so many's 'fortunes' in Europe, no one wants to castgate the 'hand that feeds them'. This is a sad travesty but the only way to prevent these things is with 'government' regulations and oversight. And nobody wants that... God forbid..
There is only ONE thing that will stop the leak, and that's still a few weeks out. The relief well. Period. There is absolutely NOTHING else that will stop the leak. NADA...
Its intellectually dishonest at best to suggest that any president or either party would be handling this situation any differently. This is simply how western governments work now, period. The last types of people who should be in charge of anything are usually in the highest positions of power and the least qualified.
Technology and the corporate capacity for unlimited greed has progressed so far beyond our ability to deal with the consequences its almost comical, if not profoundly disappointing.
Yeah, It's the Republicans who fought against Obama from regulating the Oil industry for 18 months leading up to the accident, right? LMAO!!! It's ALL the Republicans fault, But how can it be when Obama never requested stricter regulation? He certainly could have, and it would of passed too, Just like National Heath care passed on a straight party line vote.
I see, it's your belief the economic meltdown was ALL because of Bush and NOT Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd who BLOCKED the Bush administrations attempts to bring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under stricter regulatory control? It appears to me you need a real education on what actually happened... Only the ignorant would blame Bush for the meltdown.
Here's what you Libs seems to miss; Sarah Palin is NOT a PoliticianThis is too funny. She can't even get thru an interview without messing up something, misquoting someone, blamming somebody for something. Ok, unless Sean 'The Divider' Hannity is there. (Moron himself) And she's really 'up' on her hero- Ronald Reagan. Well, unless she's speaking 'facts' about him at a college graduation!
At least favor a 'human'.Anyone with half a brain can see that... She's simply NOT a good articulant LIAR like Obama and most politicians are, She's a "Public Servant" Do you know the difference between the two? Research her record as Governor and you would understand, She served the People of Alaska very well while Governor of the State.
Now you voted for the Politician who has the great ability to look straight into the camera and LIE to your face without a blink, I on the other hand voted for the Public Servant who sounded ditsy and clumsy but was honest and sincere with her beliefs in convictions. I know my candidate lost and yours won, that's why were on the brink of economic collapse right now, and that's why MILLIONS of barrels of crude OIL are destroying the coasts of every Gulf State, BECAUSE "Politician" Obama was MORE concerned about politicizing the tragedy than he was about capping the well and preventing more oil from reaching our shores.
Now anytime you want a more accurate comparison between Obama and Palin, Here it is;

fact is nothing but relief wells will stop it (if that even works) everything they do in the meantime is just to keep the public thinking they are doing something. The same thing happened in 1979 and they tried basically all the same things with different names but nothing worked except relief wells. the big difference this time is how far offshore it is compared to 79 and much more is spewing out as well..
