Obama Speaks On the Oil Crisis-Finally

After 55 days Obama finally addresses the nation on the oil crisis. What a fake, phony fraud this guy is. He said he's going to speak with the CEO of BP. He should have done that in the beginning. He said he's going to send ships with skimmers there and countries from all around the world are offering to help. Yeah that's why he refused the Dutch ships help and the British ships in the beginning. He kept repeating that BP will pay for all of this. What a lack of leadership. He talked about finding answers as he said he spoke with the families who lost loved ones in the disaster who want to know answers. Well he waited some fifty odd days before he spoke with them. He said he went four times to the site, but after each time he went back and played golf or shot hoops or entertained at the white house. Besides, he only went after pressure from the people otherwise he wouldn't have gone on his own. Some leader he is. He waited nine days before he even reacted to the situation. The left excoriated Bush with Katrina after only 72 hours. This is Obama's Katrina on steroids and don't let anybody tell you differently. This administration is trying to liken it to 9/11 which it isn't.

Obama said they have been working on this since day one. Another lie. He keeps blaming BP, but there was plenty he could have done from the beginning to show leadership. He could have sent in skimmers and vacums from the beginning instead of sending in lawyers and investigators. The government has a pre-approved plan from 1996 to deal with a disaster like this by burning off the oil and he didn't do that. He could have unleashed the booms that are laying in a warehouse up in Maine. He could have heeded Bobby Jindal's call to build berms and sand dunes to stop the oil flow which he didn't. Now Bobby has taken matters into his own hands and called up the National Guard to do the job. YAY Bobby. Two thumbs up for you.

For the past few nights now Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee have had ordinary citizens who have ways to clean up the oil spill on their shows. One is a 22 year old girl who was a child prodigy and the youngest person to be a professor in a university in South Korea who met with BP executives with her idea of using a smaller pole with tires that can be inflated and deflated to plug up the oil leak until it can be fixed. Another guy has a chemical that solidifies the oil and makes the water clean. He demonstrated by putting oil in a tank, put his chemical on it then literally picked up the solidified oil and he and Mike drank the clear water. There were several others demonstrating similiar ways to clean it up so why is the gov't and BP so hesitant on using these?

Obama said we are running out of places to drill. What a crock that is. There are plenty of places to drill on land like up in Anwar which is a tundra, but environmentalists say it will disturb the caribou up there which there hardly are any. The annointed one used this to push for greener and cleaner energy and urged people to turn away from oil producing products. He talked about solar energy and windmills, but you can't run a car on solar energy and windmills. People need oil. He said people are starting already by driving more energy saving cars. That's the government telling you what kind of car to drive since the government orders the car companies to make these and regulates the car industry. He's ordering BP to pay for a fund to watch over them run by a third party appointed by the government. I'm not sure that is even legal. The main thing is to stop the leak first and then deal with investigations and lawyers etc. He's also having a six month moritorium on any drilling. That's insane. Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs and we become more dependant on foreign oil companies who are rubbing their hands and licking their chops. This is all about Obama's and the dems cap and trade or cap and tax programs. He hates the oil companies and hates the private sector. He's all about government control. Never forget Rahm Emanuel's famous quote which seems to be the theme of this administration, "Never let a good crisis go to waste. It gives you an opportunity to do things you normally couldn't do." In the end this was really a pointless address saying nothing new and a disaster for Obama. It was just a lot of words from an empty suit.
