Bush to Obama: "Brownie, you're
doing a heckuva job!"

The rapidly expanding environmental catastrophe caused by the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is presenting a growing political challenge to the Obama White House, with Mr. Obama and his aides at pains to defend the response and forestall comparisons to the Hurricane Katrina crisis.
Nine days after British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew apart and began spewing 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, a massive oil slick is set to wash ashore on the southern coast Thursday evening and, experts say, could dwarf the damage caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.

OBAMA’S KATRINA.
Why did The Kenyan wait more than a week before taking any type of action?
Obama’s first question...If I go down there, I can still smoke, right?
A normal response would include specially trained FEMA teams and the Corps of Engineers immediately after the explosian. Instead, Barry sends out SWAT teams, DHS, and an army of lawyers a week after the fact.
It’s all because Bush STILL doesn’t like black people.
I hate to sound like a RINO, but the blame game can wait. The more immediate concern is the potential destruction of peoples’ livelihoods...and sizable tracts of pristine land.
Sp when will the media makes claims of cannibalism and mass rape?
If Mr. Obama is faced with a difficult call, he will do the equivalent of voting “present”.
He is, poor fellow, a tower of Jello.
I never even knew about the spill until today.
Is that my fault, or the fault of the media?
What response. Calling the SWAT team to intimidate the old ladies in Quincy?
Of course you are right. But you can’t blame anyone here for taking shots that great talkers wont be able to do a damn thing right and it will be a disaster.
Another catastrophic fail.
You’d think we’ve never had oil spills before and have no plans for immediate response.
Those who didn’t want offshore drilling must be celebrating.
those who don’t want domestic drilling are celebrating.
Bush’s fault.
I saw that too. He couldn’t allow the meterologist to put a positive spin on this by saying the blessing could be the hurricanes and winds.
Can someone explain to me why the C-130 couldn’t fly today when they fly into eye of storms to get info?
Halliburton partially built the platform. Therefore, it’s Bush’s fault.
pristine land????
Someone needs to give Shepard Smith a Xanax. He was practically weeping today as he waxed on about no gulf shrimp or oysters this summer!
