— DrewM No TelePrompter, so it could be interesting.
Says spill is an "assault on our shore and our people". I wish he would talk like that about Islamic terrorism.
The response has been "historic". Of course, every time he sneezes he thinks it's historic.
He keeps saying people down there should go to the White House website for information on help they can get. He sounds like a pitchman.
Just called it "a man made catastrophe". Is that like a "man caused disaster".
Now he's going on about how hard this is and it might be a bit of trial and error. Really? I thought government was supposed to be awesome all the time, the first time. That was the Katrina standard (stupid as it was).
Ah, here's his "I feel your pain bit"..."you are not alone". The media will leave you at some point but I won't. Mr. Spock is trying to do emotion and it's not working well.
No questions.
And right on cue, the MSNBC host/douche said Obama wanted to make sure people understand they aren't going to be left alone and abandoned on roof tops like in Katrina. Idiot.

The same way they convince themselves that high taxes are an engine for prosperity - self delusion.
This Administration's insatiable appetite for federal expansion is also "historic".

Barack Obama is so effing lazy, I'm actually surprised he's not recycling these golden lines, with the canned laughter and applause machine at the ready:
"I'm busy and Nancy's busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. (Applause.) Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work."

So, President B to the O goes 10 months without a press conference, takes 35 days to get to the disaster site, doesn't know if one of the higher ups was fired or resigned, takes his eye off the ball of the disaster to go raise money at the Getty House for Bab Boxer and half ass takes responsibility while still trying to blame Bush.
Gee, anyone wanna guess how the media would have reacted if this had been Bush.

May 26: "We will not rest until this well is shut, the environment is repaired and the cleanup is complete," Obama said, during a visit to California, ahead of his next trip to the Gulf Coast on Friday.
Know how seriously Obama takes this oil spill? This seriously (and remember, the spill began on April 20):
May 7: President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle stepped out to DC's KOMI restaurant last night. KOMI, which "serves a set menu for $125, beginning with a series of mezzethakia, and progressing to more robust flavors, including pasta and a shared entree, followed by cheese and dessert," is called by Yelp users "harder to get into than heaven." Not so, if you're the first couple!
May 8: President Barack Obama is playing golf while his wife, Michelle, delivers a college commencement speech in Pine Bluff, Ark. The president watched his daughter Malia play soccer Saturday before heading to the Fort Belvoir course to play golf. Obama will take his speaking turn Sunday, delivering the commencement address at Hampton University in Virginia.

The basic technology and methodology used by BP on this well blowout is 50 +years old. The only difference is the mile of water on top of the well. It might be a good idea to require a double or seperate borehole access for just such a purpose in the future, so that it doesn't take a month to get into the hole with mud and cement in case of a repeat. But being leftards, they will use it as an excuse to stop all drilling.

Yesterday at 8:01pm
Nearly 40 days in, our President finally addressed the American peopleÂ’s growing concerns about the Gulf Coast oil spill. Listening to todayÂ’s press conference, youÂ’d think the administration has been working with single-minded focus on the Gulf gusher since the start of the disaster. In reality, their focus has been anything but singular to help solve this monumental problem.
If the President really was fully focused on this issue from day one, why did it take nine whole days before the administration asked the Department of Defense for help in deploying equipment needed for the extreme depth spill site?
Why was the expert group assembled by Energy Commissioner Steven Chu only set up three weeks after the start of this disaster?
Why was Governor Jindal forced more than a month after the start of the disaster to go on national television to beg for materials needed to tackle the oil spill and for federal approval to build offshore sand barriers that are imperative to protect his stateÂ’s coastline?
Why was no mention of the spill made by our President for days on end while Americans waited to hear if he grasped the import of his leadership on this energy issue?
Why have several countries and competent organizations who offered help or expertise in dealing with the spill not even received a response back from the Unified Area Command to this day?
The President claimed that “this notion that somehow the federal government is somehow sitting on the sidelines and for the last three or four or five weeks we’ve just been letting BP make a whole bunch of decisions is simply not true.” But, in fact, that is how U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen described the Obama administration’s approach to this crisis: “We keep a close watch.”
Listening to the President, you get the impression he is continually surprised by the inability of various centralized government agencies to get more involved and help solve problems. His lack of executive experience might explain this because he is apparently unaware that itÂ’s his job as a chief executive to make sure they do their jobs and help solve problems.
The fundamental problem at the core of this crisis is a lack of responsibility. (I risk the President taking my comments personally, but theyÂ’re not intended to be personal; my comments reflect what many others feel, and we just want to help him tackle this enormous spill problem.) ThereÂ’s a culture of buck-passing at the heart of this administration that has caused the tragedy of a sunken oil rig to turn into a potential disaster.
The 1990 Oil Pollution Act was drafted in response to the Exxon-Valdez spill in my home state. It created new procedures for offshore cleanups, specifically putting the federal government in charge of such operations. The President should have used the authority granted by the OPA – immediately – to take control of the situation. That is a big part of what the OPA is for – to designate who is in charge so finger-pointing won’t disrupt efforts to just “plug the d#*! hole.” But instead of immediately engaging with this crisis, our President chose to spend precious time on political pet causes like haranguing the state of Arizona for doing what he himself was supposed to do – secure the nation’s border. He also spent much time fundraising and politicking for liberal candidates and causes while we waited for him to grasp the enormity of the Gulf spill.
Now that the American people are calling him out on his lack of engagement with this disaster, the buck-passing is in full swing – and, unbelievably, his administration is still looking to blame his predecessor. Amazingly, even those of us who support energy independence for America are the brunt of some buck-passing.
He suggested today that a “culture of corruption” at the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) was solely the previous administration’s responsibility and that the failure of the inspection system was a failure of that administration. That is false. The MMS has been his responsibility since January 20, 2009.
The MMS director who resigned today, Elizabeth Birnbaum, was appointed by his administration. And the most recent inspection of the oil rig took place a mere 10 days before the explosion – also very much on his watch, not President Bush’s.
The President is also now attempting to somehow distance himself from his administration’s recent decision to open a few areas of the continental shelf to oil and gas exploration. That’s unfortunate because America desperately needs our domestic oil and natural gas. We rely on it for our prosperity, security, and freedom. The President’s decision to open a few areas to offshore exploration was the right decision then; and unlike his quickly evolving position on energy development now, I continue to believe it’s the right decision today – because energy independence is in the long-term economic and security interests of the United States.
As I explained in an article in National Review last year, conventional sources like natural gas “can act as a clean ‘bridge fuel’ to a future when more renewable sources are available.” I do not, as the President mistakenly believes, think we can “drill, baby, drill” our way out of all of our troubles. As I have consistently stated, we need an “all of the above” approach to energy independence that combines conventional drilling with energy conservation and renewable-energy development. My record in Alaska clearly shows my commitment to this “all of the above” approach. Over 20 percent of Alaska’s electricity currently comes from renewable sources. As governor, I put forward a long-term plan to increase that figure to 50 percent by 2025, which is the most ambitious renewable energy target in the nation. I take great pride in helping to make Alaska, in the words of the New York Times, “a Frontier for Green Power,” even as we continue to embrace the need to “drill, baby, drill” at the same time.
Alaska can be that frontier for renewable energy only because our conventional oil and gas reserves provide us with “a bridge” to a greener energy future. In fact, Alaska has enough reserves of both oil and gas to help the United States cross that bridge – if only we are allowed to drill!
Please, Mr. President, hear me on this, if nothing else: if it’s your administration’s decision to suspend the leases of new oil field developments off the coast of Alaska in response to the Gulf’s deepwater spill, and you still remain committed to locking up ANWR and other oil-rich lands, please know you are making a mistake. Unless we continue to drill here and drill now, we risk digging ourselves deeper into the hole created by our continued dependence on foreign energy – which often comes from regimes that care nothing for our prosperity or security, and even less for global environmental safety.
We need affordable, reliable, secure, environmentally-sound, and domestically-produced energy, but this administration continues to lock up federal land filled with huge energy reserves. If there is to be a moratorium on offshore development, then it’s time we stop ignoring our safest options for domestic development – places like ANWR and NPR-A in my home state of Alaska.
And it’s time for the administration to stop passing the buck and get control of the disaster in the Gulf. There’s a reason why Harry Truman had that famous sign on his desk. The “buck stops” with the occupant of the Oval Office. When the American people elected President Obama they gave him responsibility to handle this disaster. He promised to “heal the earth, and watch the waters recede...” or something far-fetched like that. It was unbelievable then, it’s impossible now, but what I believe he meant was that he promised to be held accountable. With all due respect, Mr. President, you have a huge job in front of you. We hope you’re learning. Please learn that we must have domestic energy development, you must stop looking backward and blaming Bush, and we must all work together to “plug the d#*! hole.”

Anyone else get that "oh shit somethings very fucking wrong" feeling in their stomach when Barry is talking about this shit? Yesterday he ordered NO MORE DRILLING OR EXPLORATION.
President Barack Obama is playing golf while his wife, Michelle, delivers a college commencement speech in Pine Bluff, Ark.
In addition to that "Never let a good crisis go to waste" motto, I think Barry also embraces the "Never let a good crisis get in the way of your golf game."
FWIW, Michelle Obama is being dispatched to campaign for Harry Reid (something that was emailed to me from The Tea Party Express). They're bringing out the "Big Guns"--those fabulous, toned arms. Watch out, Nevada!

White House Counsel Robery Bauer on Friday rejected claims that Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak was offered a top administration job in return for dropping his Democratic primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter.
In a memo released by the White House, Bauer says his office has "concluded that allegations of improper conduct rest on factual errors and lack a basis in law," and runs through the various potential positions that have been reported to have been offered to Sestak, who defeated Spcter for the Senate Democratic nomination earlier this month.

What really pisses me off is the narrative that the Bush admin was responsible for the NO Katrina debacle..
..I'm not talking about who say he caused GW, which in turn, caused the hurricane
He had the resources in place..and had to wait for Blanco to come out of her hysterics to give the OK to send in the guard with their equipment and resources..
They had sveral days warning to get the fuck out ofthere..they had hundreds of buses and a plan in place to use them in just such a case..and that fucking idiot Nagin for some reason pull the trigger..
..and no one in the corrupt media made mention of the fact that three days after Katrina hit, Nagin went to Dallas for several days to look at houses.
...not to mention as noted above, the CG made thousands of sorties risking their own lives to rescue government-dependent losers who shpould have gotten the fuck out days ago

I'm reading Karl Rove's book and he tells of how Bush was so frustrated with Gov. Blanco's refusal to ask him to Federalize the Katrina response that he came within a hair's breadth of declaring Louisiana "in a state of insurrection" so that he could take over the response and use Federal troops without violating the Posse Comitatus Act.
Bush also got sick and tired really fast of Mayor Nagin saying that the post-hurricane response was the Governor's responsibility and her saying it was the Mayor's responsibility. They were a pair of useless fucks.

The response has been "historic". Of course, every time he sneezes he thinks it's historic.
This is, in fact, the first time in our nation's history that a Pacific President has responded to an oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that left eleven people dead.

Correct. An Amtrak special train went out of New Orleans almost empty because Nagin hadn't declared a mandatory evacuation before it left. Although the New Orleans disaster preparedness plan specified a mandatory evacuation at 72 hours before predicted landfall of a hurricane of that magnitude, Nagin didn't order one until less than 24 hours before landfall -- and then only after President Bush called to beg him to do so. The reason for the delay? Nagin was worried that hotels and restaurants might sue the city for lost business if he ordered a mandatory evacuation and the hurricane didn't hit.
And New Orleans reelected this dope.

There are two things he has done 'on time'
Let's be fair. He led people in spiritual respectful acceptance in a timely fashion around the winter solstice special days.

MSNBC host/douche said Obama wanted to make sure people understand they aren't going to be left alone and abandoned on roof tops like in Katrina. Idiot.
Fucked Faced Idiot.

Barry just get let a minute go by without taking a shot at Bush. He doesn't realize that the campaign is long over and the asshole needs to start acting like the president and not some immature little prick. Although being an immature little prick is very natural for him.

An oversight, culpability for which can be traced to his predecessor.
