The ferocious oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is threatening President Barack Obama’s reputation for competence, just as surely as it endangers the Gulf ecosystem.
So White House aides are escalating their efforts to reassure Congress and the public in the face of a slow-motion catastrophe, even though it’s not clear they can bring it under control anytime soon.
“There is no good answer to this,” one senior administration official said. “There is no readily apparent solution besides one that could take three months. ... If it doesn’t show the impotence of the government, it shows the limits of the government.”

::::::::
Satire, right?
ya somone else solving another crisis...the WH is unable to handl...
Notice how they all turned out to take credit for NYC paki fertilizer terrorist....Big promotional push .
“Reputation for competence”??? The Obama Administration LOVES it...this is their Reichstag Fire.
OK, got to get up off the floor, Obamabi has a reputation for competence? oops fell again. unstable when laughing so hard.
This is the great missing fireboom mystery .....
And why isn’t anyone reporting on this debacle. Never mind, news reporting is out the window.
Twisting in the wind on a strand of his own inflated incompetence.
The Oil Spill is Obama’s Hurricane Katrina.
Uh huh. Each of “The Regimes” talking heads stated that they were on top of this “day one”.
Lying Sacks Of Shiite! The Government Media was sucking it down.
My coffee came out my nose as I choked and stopped reading anymore....
“reputation for competence”
gagging
What panic? WHY panic? The ‘messiah’ came down here. He should have gone down to Buras, faced the Gulf, raised his hands and *poof* the oil would vanish, the leak would seal and doves would have dropped flower petals over the Gulf and the marshes.
That didn’t happen??? Why not??
When you let yourself be called ‘The One’ you damned well better be able to deliver miracles.
Maybe the best way to seal this oil leak would be to mix Hussein Obama’s EGO with the bodies of the terrorists in Guantanamo and the millions of American MORONS who voted for him and use the resulting glob of s**t to seal the well.
Wonder if the White House switchboard would take that suggestion?
Actually this is wonderful news.
The prostitute democrat media ACTUALLY BELIEVES ITS OWN PROPAGANDA!
Yeah they are in a panic. They have stopped all the boats from fishing and the oil is sitting 5 miles offshore.
The propaganda shot of the Northern gannet..They are dark brown for a year BEFORE they start to have white feathers.
OOPS.
They are desperately hoping the oil hits the shore.
AND PEOPLE are dying in Tn from unprededented flooding.
Where is the Admin on this....nowhere.
Has Zero done a flyover of the flooded areas NOOOOOOOOOOO.
BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks Politico, now I have to wipe the water that I spit out while laughing off of my desk!
Reputation for competence? I have to read the comments on Politico right now.
“Brownie, you’re doing a great job.”
“is threatening President Barack Obama’s reputation for competence”
Hahahahahahaaa.........words fail me !!!
Baloney....The WH is looking for a way to scam money from BP and or OWN IT!!!!
The ‘bammer doesn’t rely on competence; he relies on ‘spin’. The ever worshipful MSM has lulled him into a state where he believes any fault, absurdity or corruption can be massaged, twisted, packaged or manipulated to the point at which the public will either believe it didn’t happen or it doesn’t matter. Look how mountains were built from mole hills during the Republican presidencies. The problem is, of course, that even the inhabitants of Rio Linda eventually ‘get it’.
