Obama and his administration cannot seem to deal with the recent oil spill
The rapidly expanding environmental catastrophe caused by the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is presenting a growing political challenge to the Obama White House,with Mr. Obama and his aides at pains to defend the response and forestall comparisons to the Hurricane Katrina crisis.
Nine days after British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew apart and began spewing 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico,a massive oil slick is set to wash ashore on the southern coast Thursday evening and,experts say,could dwarf the damage caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
Failure to get control of the relief effort and contain the environmental challenge could pose the same kind of political threat to Mr. Obama’s popular standing that the much-criticized handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina did for former President George W. Bush. And unlike Katrina,it is likely the federal government will be the clear lead authority in dealing with the BP spill.
But Mr. Obama only Thursday dispatched Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano,Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson to help coordinate the federal response to the potential environmental disaster.
"We are being very aggressive and we are prepared for the worst case,"Coast Guard Rear Adm. Sally Brice-O’Hara said at the White House.
This empty suit has absolutely no idea what or how to do it or anything else. I'm sure he FLUNKED Gov. 101 in school,if he went to school. How in the world did we allow this fool into Our White House??
Have you all gotten enough of this administration yet? All true Patriots must hold the Arizona govenor is high esteem for enforcing the Constitution,all states should follow suit. The only ones who are upset about this are the ones who are here illegally,gee whiz what a suprise that is. When you folks finally get fed up with this illegitimate administration and decide it is time for positive action to remove these people from office call me,until then shut the heck up and quit your complaining.
People were FOOLED by "OOO"and America is about to be fooled once again with another;Sarah Palin who supports some bad candidates such as McCain who is CFR and a progressive. Watch the RNC pick a weak candidate so "OOO"will win once again. Keep watching the moves these clowns are making to keep our attentions diverted.

WE need to get rid of all social medicine. I don't want to have to pay for those lazy,non working old people. GET RID OF MEDICARE!
We all know how the msm castigated GWB for his "inaction"at the beginning of the Katrina fiasco. The same "alphabet nets"are busily paving the way for the O'bummer as he sits and dithers over the Gulf tragedy.
ABC with DianeSawyer (can anyone stand this sickly,syruppy –[is there such a word?] woman?) almost makes one throw up with the platitudes she throws at the Ears that Squeak.
The msm is "all in"for Barry Hussein. They'll be fun to watch as they turn cartwheels trying to save the progressive (socialist) party this fall. Unfortunately too many Americans will believe every lie they tell.
Obama sent several people down to investigate the oilspill &help coordinate the Federal Response. Accidents happen,&these people don't know anything about how to fix the problem. The oil company does &they will spend millions to repair the damage. Too bad it happened,but accidents do happen.
