Obama: Nothing But Talk

On April 30, 10 days after the start of the biggest oil spill in history, Obama finally woke up enough to promised to use :

“every single available resource at our disposal”

Since then, here’s what has he accomplished:

1. By May 3rd the armed forces touted that they had deployed 66,000 feet of boom.

Uh, guys, that’s only 12 miles.  

Yes, that includes this:

2. The armed forces assigned two aircraft to spray toxic dispersant.  

Whether they ever did or not is unclear.

3. Twenty federal government agencies, combined with BP to  hire a public relations firm–which started a website, a facebook page, and an account on twitter.

Oh, and this.

One woman with a plastic cup.

  4. “What I don’t like from the president’s administration is this sort of, ‘I’ll put my boot heel on the throat of BP,’ ” Mr. Paul said, referring to a remark by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar about the oil company. “I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business. I’ve heard nothing from BP about not paying for the spill. And I think it’s part of this sort of blame-game society in the sense that it’s always got to be someone’s fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen.”

    All you need to know about that asshole in one paragraph.  

  5. Two girls and a cup?!   UHHGHM (clearing throat)

  7. and powerpoints and strategery and tactics …

    look – since 1978 when that fascist bullshit prop 13 came along, there’ve been countless opportunities to figure out how to make community programs work –

    which, oh, by the way, COULD have been leveraged to savage the fascist liars,

    which, oh, by the way, COULD have put the fascists outta business,

    BUT, since there seems to be a HUGE supply of pathetic sack of shit voters who keep putting up with excuses from pathetic sack of shit sell out “leaders” –

    WE the peeee-ons keep ending up with this parasitic $ocial cla$$ of leader$ who couldn’t make a fucking hot dog stand run right, much less manage large public enterprises and or keep private sector scum in their place –

    I was 32 when I voted for HOPE in ’92… remember all those fucking conferences on changing the world clinton went to – this is the days pre-powerpoint! they did have charmin back then – HOPEfully all the output of barack’s team of diffle fucks will be printed on charmin, so we can get some use out of it.

    rmm.  

  8. Twenty federal government agencies, combined with BP to  hire a public relations firm–which started a website, a facebook page, and an account on twitter.

    That is the touchstone of Obama’s abilities. Perfect for this day and age, work that bullshit.

    Remember when this clown was on the campaign trail and going to launch a green economy? Instead we wind up with a virtual clean up.
