Environmentalists give Barack Obama a pass on oil spill

Last week, it seemed, environmentalists were finally ready to let loose on President Barack Obama over the Gulf oil spill.

Actress Q’orianka Kilcher chained herself to the White House fence while her mother slathered the “Pocahontas” star in black paint meant to look like oozing crude.

Kilcher’s cause? Not the Gulf spill at all but oil-related abuses of indigenous people in Peru, whose president was visiting Obama that day.

President Obama is the best environmental president we’ve had since Teddy Roosevelt,” Sierra Club chairman Carl Pope told the Bangor Daily News last week.

Thats the ball game, folks. If environmentalist groups are showering praise on Capt. Kickass for his handling of this, he will continue to do nothing more than give speeches and do photo-ops. (and point his finger at others) The Gulf is finished, and maybe the Atlantic Ocean, too.

This is the wide eyed faction of the voter group that I mention elsewhere in some commentary. There is no getting through to a nut, it is that simple. Whenever I hear one of these wing nuts comment about saving the environment and then notice they get back on their G-4 or onto their hummer or into their 20000 sq foot mansion, I know it is do as I say, not as I do because I am special. Prime example, Owl Gore.

"Environmentalists give Barack Obama a pass on oil spill"

For most so-called "environmentalist" activists it's not about the environment, it's about using environmental issues to foster a much broader and deeper agenda...... communism.

Hollywood moron Ashton Kutcher:

“If you could go back to the Republican national convention and look the guys in the eyes that were saying, ‘DRILL DRILL DRILL,' at the Republican national convention, those guys, there you go, that’s what we got, like, we did it, we drilled drilled drilled. …

“But at the end of the day the truth is, is like, we got to think about the world we live in,” says Kutcher. “I mean we have to be conscious. This is like not a right, it’s a privilege to be on this land and using its resources and we have to be smart about it.”

Of course, he gives Zero a pass because he's a Marxist with a heart and says the right things. No matter Barry Soetero is a fellow moron who couldn't find his @$$ with both hands and a funnel.

Here's the alleged actor cum douche bag driving around in his 14,500 lb. Navistar CXT that gets 7 MPG. As Greg Gutfeld said, what does he think it runs on, unicorn tears? Idiot...

I always thought environmentalists were stupid. This proves it.

This oil spill is the greatest thing that has happened yet for both the enviros and the anti-capitalists (in many cases, they are one in the same).

Asked if Sierra Club has any concerns about the administration’s response to the spill, Willett said, “Overall, we’re satisfied with the cleanup and recovery effort."

...

Sierra Club?

The Internet has a word for you.

The fact that Obama announced he was for offshore-drilling, about one week before the offshore-drilling blowout, is telling.

Think about it.

The leftist agenda of environmentalism has always been a front for wealth redistribution and population control.

Those posers never really cared about the environment.

There is a professor at the law schoool in which I work, who is head of the environmental department, who just wrote a letter to our local newspaper doing just that. According to him, we shouldn’t blame poor Obama for this, it was all George Bush’s fault!
