Mitt Romney attacks Obama's leadership on Oil Spill

Has it come to this again? The president is meeting with his oil spill experts, he crudely tells us, so that he knows "whose @ss to kick." We have become accustomed to his management style — target a scapegoat, assign blame and go on the attack. To win health care legislation, he vilified insurance executives; to escape bankruptcy law for General Motors, he demonized senior lenders; to take the focus from the excesses of government, he castigated business meetings in Las Vegas; and to deflect responsibility for the deepening and lengthening downturn, he blames Wall Street and George W. Bush. But what may make good politics does not make good leadership. And when a crisis is upon us, America wants a leader, not a politician.

The first rule of turnarounds is to focus time, energy and resources on what matters most. The president simply cannot treat this crisis like another of his many problems. The oil disaster could hurt millions of families, slam the regional economy, kill untold numbers of non-human lives and irreparably damage the planet. Among other things, he must not hold more rock concerts at the White House — I understand James Carville's venting: His hero (Obama like the Roman Emperor NERO) fiddled as oil churned.

President Obama's instigation of criminal investigations of BP at this juncture is classic diversion politics — and worse, it will engender bunker mentality at a time when collaboration and openness are most critical. BP's actions and inactions are reprehensible; it must be made to pay the billions upon billions of dollars that this spill will ultimately cost. But call out the phalanx of lawyers later — solve the crisis today.

even the "end of an ERROR" line was in a political cartoon that went viral.

I googled 2012: End of the Obama Error and received no links for a cartoon that went "VIRAL".

Would you please post the cartoon (which went "viral") or the link to the cartoon which went "viral"?

One error was Team Romney attacking Gov. Palin for Obama
to throw the Election to Obama.

How has that worked out for all you RomneyBOTs?

It has ruined America, and the American people will not forget.

[BunnySlippers]

The error was anti-McCain people who stayed home throwing the election to Obama.

How is that working out for you?

[Diogenesis]

The anti-McCain people were ROMNEY people
who attacked Gov. Palin and her helpless children for the DNC.

Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidates:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

What I said!

Not well. Pres_ _ent Obama is a disaster. Like Romney

Which is why this is posted over and over.
And that brings up two questions.
Where are Romney's parents' birth certificates,
and ROMNEY has supported Obama, such as with TARP against the American people.

How did that work out for you RomneyBOTs?

America will never forget that while Gov. Palin
helped the Tea Parties and fought ObamaCARE,
where was the perpetual soreloser Mitt Romney?

Why, Romney was backing Obama (again).

"Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

" (Senator Scott ) Brown’s comments come after the senator blocked a bill that would have sent $700 million in federal funding for Medicaid payments to the Bay State. The move leaves state lawmakers scrambling to make additional cuts in a $27 billion budget they approved this week..'

Romney care is so successful that it needs near a billion a year handout from the Feds..er..us...
