Barry Still Fiddles Whilst The Coast Drowns In Oil

"Nothing more fully reveals the essential character of a person or group than a crisis. Thus, the ecological and political catastrophe of the Gulf oil spill has exposed a breathtaking level of incompetence, political opportunism and mendacity at the heart of the Obama administration. Documents obtained by the Center for Public Integrity make clear that the White House was told by the Coast Guard within 24 hours of the April 20 explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon platform that the equivalent of 8,000 barrels a day could escape into the ocean. Within three days, Obama and his senior aides were warned that the spill could exceed the in environmental damage caused by the Exxon Valdez wreck in 1989.

Despite these warnings, over the next two months Obama attended Democratic fundraisers, played golf, hosted basketball and football teams at the White House and delivered commencement speeches. Two weeks passed before he could be bothered to go to Louisiana. On April 29, Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindahl declared a state of emergency as the oil spill covered 600 square miles and was only 16 miles from the coast. Jindahl begged federal officials for permission to build a massive network of sand berms to contain damage to beaches. Washington responded a month later but permission was only granted to build 2 percent of the berms requested."

Now, for a second, imagine a Republican President, or for that matter any REAL executive sitting on his laurels with a hardy dose of elitism, and performing like Barry Hussein with regards to the still gushing oil spill.

The Bush administration continuously asked what they could do to help Louisiana during Katrina, and when the real culprit was established...namely the total lack of anything remotely resembling efficient dikes and berms...rushed in the Army Corps of Engineers to do what the New Orleans politicians should have done long before it became such a disaster.

Then there's Barry. While the Governor of Louisiana begged for help, Barry's boys essentially told him to get back to them after they were done with their most recent series of golfing events.

And the liberal, Yellowstream media still covers his ass.

Boggles.
