It is an amazing thing to listen to some of the left wing media and politicians finally seem to realize that President Obama has screwed up. For the past 18 months, the man could do no wrong. Despite an economy that has not yet reached bottom, they pretend we are in recovery. They gleefully talk about how great it is that new unemployment numbers fall, on occasion, never mentioning that the true number is nearly double what they are reporting. And that even though the losses slow a bit, we are still hemorrhaging jobs.
But they finally open their eyes when Obama sits in the White House, plays golf and holds fancy and expensive parties for his friends – on the taxpayer’s dime – as oil spews into the Gulf of Mexico. The best he can do is blame BP and promise to keep a boot on their throats. And they will pay!
Meanwhile, the Federal Government is doing nothing more than playing the blame game, fearing involvement in this mess will convey ownership to Obama. So, the White House sits and allows a month to go by with BP still unable to stop the damage.
As reports fly that the Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded was given a safety award by Obama just last year, and the Minerals Management Service, the agency in charge of inspecting the rig at least once a month has not done their job, and has been caught watching porn on government computers.
Is Obama asleep at the switch?
Just listen to the liberals now. Chris Matthews, who views Obama with his private trickle down the leg theory said on the Jay Leno Show:
The President scares me. He’s been acting like, you know, a Vatican observer here. When is he going to actually do something? And I worry– I know that he doesn’t want to take ownership of it, I know the politics, because the minute he says ‘I’m in charge’ then he’s blamed. But somebody is going to have to take charge.
And James Carville, the Ragin’ Cajun? What is his opinion of Obama’s handling of the disaster? The Washington Post reports:
The irascible Democratic strategist has been on a rampage over the government handling of the spill in his native gulf region, accusing President Obama of “political stupidity” and saying the administration has been “lackadaisical.”
“It just looks like he’s not involved in this,” Carville said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Visibly agitated, Carville said: “Man, you got to get down here and take control of this, put somebody in charge of this thing and get this moving. We’re about to die down here.”
This video is enough to make one think that the oil may finally be the final straw that wakes up the left from the ill effects of the Obama Kool-Aid:
However, it will only take a small dose of hopey-changey flavored Kool-Aid to turn their Achy-Breaky hearts back into the Lovey-Dovey Zombies they have been for the last couple of years.
By the way, have you noticed that the big rush to bring us live pictures of oil coated Sea Gulls has all but disappeared since the left started to blame Obama? Seems that there are still some lingering effects from the Kool-Aid.
