Obama Fiddled While the oil gushed out.

So why did his administration take 12 days to take the gulf oil spill seriously and do something?

I thought Obama was suppose to be an environmentally friendly president. Can you imagine if this happened during the Bush presidency?

Obama is a great campaigner and activist, but not too good at "governing". He will, loving a good crisis, try to make good poilitical mileage out of the spill.

I believe Limbaugh was the one who said a clean-up was unnecessary as this was completely natural and the ocean will take care of itself.

It sounds like he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

Guess he better lay off the drugs...

It takes a while to come up with something when only one month earlier you're on record promoting the expansion of off shore drilling.

Just curious your stance on off-shore drilling, Tim?

For it (like Obama) or against?
