“No point whining about BP, O leftist media, when Obama just told us he’s been in charge since Day One.”

I wonder how the media would have spun this disaster had it happened under Bush’s watch......

I don’t believe this spill was an accident whatsoever. How convenient for this crisis to occur at such an important time in American history. Obama’s approval ratings were in the tank, he had just announced that we could start off-shore drilling, the illegal immigration crisis is at boiling point, heightened tensions between N.& S. Korea, etc.....

Obama is in real trouble over this. No, he can’t plug the leak but he could have contained the leak. Since the leak occurred in federal waters and is the responsibility of the federal government to contain it. But no, Obama decided a vacation or fund raiser was more important then containing an oil leak off the “other” (read republican) coast.

President Obama, at a rare press conference , took full credit for stopping the Deepwater Horizon oil spill “The American people should know that from the moment this disaster began, the federal government has been in charge of the response effort,” Obama said. How can BP be making these calls on what to do.. when the federal government is in charge...

Credibility Obozo’s where has been he credibile on anything in his life at all. There is nothing he will release the shows any ounce of credibility. the more information that comes to the forefront of Bp the oil spill and the Sestak issue will shed further light on the credibility of all involved.A person to be considered credible have to have the information that backs up what he is saying. The failure to produce any type of documentation through legal challenges, obsufactation and so on and so forth gives no merit to a credible source. IS Bill Clinton credible Lets face it Obozo is 10 worse than Billy clinton. Monica Lewinsky can attest to the credibility of ole Billy Boy. I did not have sex with that woman - define sex to billy boy, sex can mean oral too. But Billy Boy he is a liberal and oral sex does count as sex. Ask the teenagers of today what do the view as sex.. American society has created the problem of credibility with its political leaders, by giving in to them. Put the SOB in Prison. The way to change the political corruption in America is to arrest the SOBs, place them in jail have a slow boat to china trial, try them convict them and than execute the SOBs- Start with Jimmy Carter, Billy Clinton and OBozo the Muslim Marinette.

Actually their solution is more regulations on oil pumping. The taxes will come w/ clean-up.
