Turning the corner on the Gulf oil spill? (Ignore it. Time for a big GAY party at the WH)

But the administration is clearly expecting -- maybe hoping -- that the intense public attention on the spill fades a bit, starting with this week, giving them a chance to turn to other subjects.

"And Tuesday night's White House celebration of gay and lesbian pride month should be an upbeat event for Obama"

[maine-iac7]

IGNORE IT and it will go away?

AT the same time, Milking this catastrophe for all it's worth...to push through the crippling energy bill, to continue with the health care push.

Truly, this is a "Nero fiddling" moment in history.

The Liberals on the radio this morning were talking this Party Line. The oil spill is old news. It's gushing: we know that. We can't stop it: we know that too. It's clearly time to talk of other things ...

Funny, they didn't treat any of the problems under Bush this way ...

Amazing, don’t you think???

Given the Tuesday night festivities, maybe Caligula is a better comparison.

Gay Pride is an oxymoron.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Oh goody..another taxpayer financed party at the Whorehouse ahh Whitehouse. However did we get so lucky?

[Dr. Ursus]

I bet his horse is nervous about Tuesday!

[Texas resident]

The obama team thugged 20 billion bucks out of BP and now there is no more urgency to fix the problem? Looks like that was the ultimate goal. He has no intention of helping cap the well in any way.
The pictures from the gay party out to be interesting. Or will there be pictures at all? Hmmm.

[tatsinfla]

he should feel right at home at this party....is bwaney frwank on the guest list...??

[Ingtar]

Nero fiddling = Zero golfing.

[Bender2]

"Oil spills are so boring... when we have a party to attend!"

That's... so true--

Finally, a President... who knows just where to plant his flag!

[maine-iac7]

The Liberals on the radio this morning were talking this Party Line.

He called his sycophant media to the WH last week - clearly to give them their marching orders and order them to stop bashing him -

Is there any doubt he's controlling the lib media? Since when does the media get called to WH for instructions rather than going through the WH press corps?

[Venturer]

I was wonderingif Larry Sinclair was on the guest list.

Rahm says Barton
s apology may help Democrats in the election the fact is the President does not have the Constitutional power to TELL BP what they have to put up for the oil spill.

I do not know if this reache’s the level of extortion, but it sure is arm twisting in a form that a President isnt legitimately authorised to do.

[maine-iac7]

Given the Tuesday night festivities, maybe Caligula is a better comparison.

Maybe He's a double reincarnation: NERO/CALIGULA?

The obama team thugged 20 billion bucks out of BP and now there is no more urgency to fix the problem? Looks like that was the ultimate goal.

And they are gong to have fun with that money. I suspicion very little will go to the people whose livelihoods are destroyed forever...just a few token examples for the press...

[Texas resident]

Isn’t it one of bambi’s czar’s that is “handling” the $20 billion? No corruption there.

[duckworth]

Can you imagine what’s going to go on in the nooks and crannys of the White House during and after that party?

The Clinton-Lewinsky bathroom shenanigans will seem like a lusty high school romp.

Please, please — someone needs to crash this with a hidden camera. (Of course even video wouldn’t matter — any notice of this would be considered racist and homophobic...)

[bergmeid]

The WaPo article suggests that we increasingly look towards BP for solutions than we do towards this sorry ass “president” and his pitiful administration.

Wishful thinking by the WaPo. My thinking is that BP seems to be working hard trying to fix this mess. The “president” on the other hand seems to be willfully dragging his feet.

[tatsinfla]

i agree....it is just amazing what he is getting away with...makes me sick....i thought for a day that barton had nerve...seems like he didn’t after all....i think the voters would have stuck by him if he had stuck to his guns and not backed down....
