Any bets whether this tyrant in the WH uses this as an example of why we should get away from oil?

Pence: 'Everybody in America knew whose a-double-s to kick'
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) on Sunday blasted President Barack Obama’s “slow” response to the BP oil disaster, saying the administration had poorly coordinated its initial response.
“He could’ve picked up the phone and called the CEO of BP sooner than 50 days [after the spill],” Pence said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “This is emblematic of the kind of detached leadership we’re seeing in this administration…I think by day two, everybody in America knew whose a-double-s to kick.”
Obama administration officials did not appear in the region until nearly 10 days after the oil rig explosion occurred off Louisiana’s coast, Pence complained.
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) acknowledged the involvement of more than a dozen government agencies in the oil spill is a process that “can get clumsy sometimes.” But he defended the administration’s overall response, saying it was working to streamline the efforts and expressing anger at BP.
“I don’t know that the president is doing anything wrong,” Clyburn said. “The President’s style is something a lot of people felt very comfortable with during the campaign – they were looking for a steady hand…But when the time came for governing, people like to see a little more emotional involvement on the part of their leader.”
Pence has always had a set. He just picks his battles well...and knows when to stick the knife in.
Speaker Pence, people. Boehner’s not as bad as some here on FR say (IMHO) but the idea of Speaker Boehner is 100 miles of bad road.
That was his pinnacle. It was all down hill from there.
I sincerely agree with you on ALL counts.
Yes:
Prayers for the people involved in this.

It's not about BP's costly leak.
It's about Obama's stingy cleanup.
