COVINGTON, La. (May 28) - BP's chief executive cautioned Friday that it will be two more days before anyone knows if the latest fix attempt will stop the oil spewing into the sea, and President Barack Obama arrived on the Gulf Coast to tell residents they are not alone in dealing with it.

The spill has already become the worst in U.S. history, and there are no guarantees the so-called "top kill" being tried for the first time 5,000 feet underwater will work.

Something about Obama: he has no genuine connection to nature. We’re looking at the destruction of untold wildlife in the Gulf and he’s more comfortable talking about people’s loss of jobs. Money can fix jobs, it can’t undo this mess.

“I’m here to tell you that you are not alone, you will not be abandoned, you will not be left behind,”

My daughter came into my bathroom on the plane and asked me;

“Daddy do you give a sh*t about these little people?”

“And how long do we have to wait on the plane?”

Thank God, this puke isn’t dishonoring Arlington by his presence on Monday.

If he was at Arlington on Monday, it would be because he was playing through on his way to Army-Navy golf course

Henry (of CNN) recounted how a little earlier a New York Times reporter – displaying some surprising pushback against environmentalist exaggeration – pointed out to Obama how there are tar balls “’even when there’s not an oil spill,’” so: “’How do we know this is from the oil spill and not just tar that’s washed up? I’ve even seen it,’ the reporter said, ‘it’s even popped up in my bathing suit.’”

To which, Henry recited, “the President made a little joke, saying ‘I want to hear a little bit more about that tar in your bathing suit, maybe we’ll hear about that sometime.’ Don’t want to make too big of a deal out of it. But if George W. Bush had made a comment like that along the beach after Katrina, you can imagine the kind of criticism he might get.”

I think he meant to say, “In a few years, a few more states will join your everlasting suffering and you won’t be alone. Bush’s fault. I have to go to Chicago now, bye.”
