One of the biggest Bush apologists when it came to Katrina blaming Obama for BP not doing their job?
You are a joke...
You are a joke...
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Apparently Obama's obsession with idiotic straw man arguments has filtered down even to Optional. Who is defending BP? Not me. Some people have pointed out that it seems odd to be pursuing criminal charges against them at the same time you are letting them run this slow motion disaster. Maybe their huge lobbying budget, which employs Obama lackey and democrat hitman John Podesta has something to do with Obama's passivity. Or maybe he just doesn't have the stones to be a leader.
Rudy Guliani put it pretty accurately. When the president takes a casual, hands off approach, that attitude filters down through the government and we get the kind of lackadaisical reaction we have seen so far. I have a lot of issues with Rudy G, but you can bet he would have been down there the first week, kicking ass and taking names, and if BP hadn't hopped to, he would kicked them off the job and got someone in charge who would have done something. Why wasn't BP forced, for example, to charter supertankers and have them on scene to pump the oil into as it surfaced? Was it a better idea to let it spread out through 50 miles of ocean, then try to siphon it up? The whole thing speaks of incompetency.
