Obama passing the buck?

if you actually take the time to read what we're talking about and what obama said and not simply jump at anyting yurt says....you would see we are talking about the CLEAN UP or SALVAGING the disaster, NOT WHAT CAUSED the distaster

i guess according to your logic, bush is not responsible at all because he didn't cause hurricane katrina...thanks!!!

And I want to know why you expect President Obama to be ready to jump at a moment's notice to help some greedy corporation while they try to cover their asses?
 
Fact is, they're getting as much help from the gov't as they can hope to get for a private spill; there are 16 agencies involved, but the cost & liability for the clean-up ultimately lies with BP.

It's so absurd to try to compare this to Katrina, and Bush's woeful handling of that crisis. Yurt...do you have any specifics on where Obama has fallen short? Any public cries for more accountability...any real criticism of his failure to respond or act?

When a disaster caused by MOTHER NATURE strikes, then the leader of this nation must be ready to offer aid and anything else necessary at a moment's notice...and THAT IS WHERE DUBYA FAILED.

When a private corporation causes a gigantic disaster brought on by their own lax oversight...the it is solely the responsibility OF THE CORPORATION AND IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CLEAN IT UP.

imagine if bush would have said virtually the same thing, but instead expressed frustration with mayor nagin and governor blanco

Just amazing no mention of the 11 dead from you.


Its all about the politics and blaming Obama for not being the magic negro your side claimed he was.

How's that shoe fitting on the other foot? You don't like the squeeze, then put on your slippers.

You haven't even skimmed the surface on payback Toots, so hold on to your seat. Payback's coming and she is one helluva BITCH!

And STILL no mention of the 11 dead from our resident partisan gash...but boy, she's ready to talk about how she's going to dish some payback!

Well, to me, that about sums it up. There is no "there" there on this one; it's all just the payback mindset. I get that. You'll go after Obama on anything, for any reason, even when there is nothing behind it, because you need to feel some sort of retribution for the Bush years.

If I am a gash you are a GUSH you fat grotesque slob. I couldn't believe how much weight you gained in such a freakin' short period of time. My god, have you no shame?

I don't owe you an explanation about the 11 dead anymore than you owe me an explanation why you're morbidly obese and whine like a freakin' sissy girl.

Oh there is plenty of reason, oncie. This president is the most incompetent president ever and I fear for this country.

Oh my word you really got me that time, didn't you??

No, of course you don't owe ME anything, but you do owe the other posters on this board an explanation as to why you've blatantly ignored the dead while you try to make this about Obama.

By all means keep ducking everyone else, it so reinforces your standing as the board gash.

If she didn't get GET YOU....then you're doing a great job of GUSHING all over yourself....arentcha ya big ol fatty??!!!

Of course now that we've had another look at ya, we can see that's the only thing you CAN do!

YIKES!!! That's a whole lotta BOLOGNA!!!! :palm:
 
Oh...I see. The fact that Bush appointed an inexperienced crony to a crucial position = Obama being a Dem, and Nagin being a Dem.

I'm not desperately trying to do anything. Mott is right on top of it; you have been pwnd in yet another man o' straw.

i wouldn't use mott as evidence that you've pwned anyone, even a 5 year old...but obviously it makes you feel better, so run along and tell all your friends how you pwned yurt...

sorry you ran out of debate as quickly as this, usually you're good more, but i think you knew you didn't have a leg to stand on so you stood on mott's

i haven't blamed obama once...why do you lie?

i have mentioned the tragedy, another lie

seriously, you can do better

too funny......you were all for the bailouts for the supposed gigantic economic disaster caused by greedy corporations, but now this is all on the corps, before, oh no, the government must rescue the corps, now, the corps are on their own

you're so intellectually dishonest its funny

a hurricane, an 'act' of god, is bush's fault and his failure, an explosion occurs causing the release of hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil, probably rivaling exxon [btw, nobody knows exactly why yet] and its not the president's duty at all to help fix it

you're a hoot

you're finally getting it onceler...of course we haven't heard any failure on obama's part, hence the point of the thread....the massive hypocrisy of the left regarding two epic disasters that were not truly caused or controlable by the president, yet we have two very distinct reactions

it was digstusting then to blame bush and put politics above the disaster...other than pointing out the massive hypocrisy of the left, i am glad partisan BS is so far staying out of this

No one ever said the DISASTER was caused by the President. But it is undeniable that Bush's response, his promise that they were prepared, and his woeful appointment to FEMA, are worthy of criticism.

That's what you still seem to be missing in all of this. It wasn't "disgusting" to blame Bush; it was perfectly appropriate. You have yet to show anything comparable for Obama here.

You keep trying though; eventually, you'll nail one of these "they did it for Bush, but don't do it for Obama" strawmen...

again...who has obama picked to handle this disaster? because who ever it is has sorely underestimated it and has not adequately prepared for this massive oil leak....same with bush, underestimated the damage and thereby hasn't been prepared

LOL

Finally surrendering, I see. Yes, I agree - this thread was a stupid one to start in the first place.

As always, that certainly took too long...
