John Podesta of the Center for American Progress is nearly scripting the White House’s BP response, according to Jonathan Weisman at the Wall Street Journal in a blog post picked up by Drudge. But Weisman leaves out a key detail:

Podesta’s brother is a BP lobbyist.

Tony and John Podesta cofounded the Podesta Group, a K Street lobbying firm. Now BP is a client, and Tony is one of the lobbyists on the account, according to the firm’s latest lobbying filings.

You mean those great, big, Dumbo-like appendages? Those large, prominent, pan-like protuberances that stick ‘way out from the sides of his head? Those ears?

So did George W. Bush do fundraisers while the smoke was still rising from the ashes? Did Bush laugh it up and go to plays and parties and golfing during that time? Did Bush hit the vacation resorts while the ashes were still hot? Nope. HUSSEIN has done that, though.

Thank God for the new media, because the ass-kiss networks and print media aren't reporting the truth.

For 20 years there has been a LAW ON THE BOOKS about Oil Spills.

Hussein, start kicking your own miserable ass!

THE OIL POLLUTION ACT OF 1990 CHARGES THE WHITE HOUSE WITH CLEANING UP THE MESS. SO YOU HAVE FAILED BIG TIME, HUSSEIN!

OPA, among other things, amended Section 311 of the federal Clean Water Act. Section 311 now provides in part that: (A) If a discharge, or a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil or a hazardous substance from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility is of such a size or character as to be a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States (including but not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural resources, and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the United States),
the President shall

(notice the word SHALL; not "MAY" not "CAN" not "PERHAPS", but SHALL!)

direct all Federal, State, and private actions to remove the discharge or to mitigate or prevent the threat of the discharge.

(B) In carrying out this paragraph, the President may, without regard to any other provision of law governing contracting procedures or employment of personnel by the Federal Government–

(i) remove or arrange for the removal of the discharge, or mitigate or prevent the substantial threat of the discharge; and

(ii) remove and, if necessary, destroy a vessel discharging, or threatening to discharge, by whatever means are available.

P.S.: CNN reports that on the day of the memorial for the victims (a month after the explosion), HUSSEIN ATTENDED A FUNDRAISER. Nice move there, jerkoff. Real caring.
