Obama's Oil Spill

Ed Schultz, as blue as blue gets, now says what most of us are thinking:

After all, if the liberals can jump on George Bush after 3 days for Hurricane Katrina, Obama can get some heat after 35 days of "hope and change" while actually doing nothing.

It's getting ridiculous now.

I wonder if anyone will suggest that Obama is a racist since most of the shrimp fisherman affected are white, kind of like the reverse of the Katrina situation.

Paybacks are brutal...

Are shrimp fishermen dying?*

Absolutely awful comparisons are brutal.

* said from the agreeable POV that Bush's handling of Katrina was not racist, just pathetic.

I'm curious Joey, since one of the Right's main "platforms" is less government, what would you guys have said if Obama launched a huge Federal initiative and assistance( ie...BIG money) the day, week after this had happened? Wouldn't you have screamed "Why are my tax dollars going to help clean up BP's mess?" I can't believe you would have supported Govt involvement when it was obviously someone's else's fault. To compare Katrina, a natural disaster, to a BP responsible explosion is night and day. Plus, the levee that broke in NO was a Federal structure, wasn't it? No part of the BP initiative, other than the $71,000 given by their employees I guess, was their responsibility. So where..in a situation like this, with 100% culpable blame assigned to a company, do Reublicans draw the line between Govt involvement and less Govt is better? It just goes back to what I feel..everyone wants the Govt out of their lives until they need the Govt in their lives.

It's obvious we can blame the democrats and republicans for making the already epic clusterf.uck known as the N.O. levees far worse with their half-assed Flood Control Act which to the day of the flood wasn't fixed. 40 years and the levees still weren't fixed.

Maybe we should sell New Orleans to the Dutch? They aren't retarded.
