Oil spill ???

Notice how involved with the BP oil disaster the President is.
He refers to it as a "spill" when it's actually a HUGE DISASTER. A spill is when a cup of coffee is knocked over. What's happening in the Gulf is a lot more than just a spill.
In his press conference today, he said that this was "the worst disaster of its kind...".
Obviously, he is once again not knowing what he's talking about. 30 years ago, a Mexican oil company had this same problem and it lasted over 9 months, making this one look like just a "spill".
From the beginning of this disaster, Bobby Jindal (Governor of Louisiana) has been begging this administration for help. The help that has been given is that Homeland Security and a SWAT team was sent to Louisiana. In today's press conference said that "the government was in charge"; the other day he said that "this is BP's fault and their responsible for fixing it".
Bobby Jindal has several solutions yet every time he requests assistance he's told that the Army Core of Engineers has to approve it first.
Why do you think that Cynthia Quarterman (head of Mineral Management Systems) resigned today ? It was her department that gave the "go ahead" to BP to bypass certain steps that could have avoided this from ever happening.
Meanwhile, there are committees, inquiry panels, witch hunts, etc. with everyone blaming everyone for who is at fault, while the government is stopping any progress that the knowledgeable people in the Louisiana Gulf can be doing in cleaning up this mess.
One reason is that the Governor of Louisiana is a Republican, and as one of Obama's advisers said..."never let a good disaster go to waste"; so Obama is not going to let Gov. Jindal take any credit for solving this problem.
Bottom line...Obama would rather sit around and think about it than do anything about it.
Did you notice that during the memorial for the men that died when the platform blew up, Obama wasn't there, but at a fund raiser. He's not only stupid, but doesn't care about any of us. We all care about getting this problem solved by whatever means possible...then we can ponder over whose fault it is. At this point, it's obvious that BP got permission to avoid certain precautions and blew a critical seal. From that point on, it is the governments fault for not letting the people that can stop this from doing the job. I hold the government 50% responsible, BP is 10% responsible and Obama is 40% responsible. Your president is an immature, phony, lieing, incompetent, unconcerned pretender to the throne.
