Obama's Katrina but worse

Obama's Katrina but worse

"...A tough week for Team Obama, with high winds and rough seas still
ahead. I wish them well and hope they heed the lessons of history in
their own words. From then-presidential candidate Obama’s campaign
fact sheet on Katrina:

“As president, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will keep the broken
promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf
Coast. And they will take steps to ensure that the federal government
will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency
planning and response to occur."

Oil Spill Proves It's Obama Who Is All Hat and No Cattle
By Bradley Blakeman

The Obama administration was slow to react to the Gulf oil spill. And
while there's been lots of talk,we're awfully lacking in real action


Here's what the Washington Post's Michael Shear wrote: "The
administration is well aware that the president's campaign victory was
built in part on a belief among voters that he would do a better job
at responding to disasters like Hurricane Katrina than did President
Bush." He goes on to say that the disaster has left "the political
effect on Obama's offshore drilling plan and broader climate change
agenda uncertain."

Any real action" Oh please! Give us an example of what they should
be doing...Are people dying along the coast, are homes and businesses
under 4 feet of oil, are folks moving up to Shreveport to excape the
oil flow. Is this like a volcano that erupted? Should Red Cross
open up soup kitchens? Comparing an oil spill, a "MAN MADE"
disaster .to a flood/hurricane is silly ****. The only people who can
do anything are oil rig specialists, who know oil rigs and how to cap
them.

What it boils down to is that Obama is a loser.

When the problem is on land, the primary responsibility is the
governor's. At sea, it is the federal government's.

But it is never the responiblity of the private
business that *caused* the disaster, it seems.

New Statesman

Rick Perry, the Republican governor of Texas, has caused
considerable offence Stateside by describing the oil spill
off the coast of Louisiana as an "act of God". -- Perry's
view is that, "From time to time there are going to be
things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be
prevented."

"BP has insisted it is taking responsibility for the crisis (as it must,
as the owner of the oil, under US law) and has launched a costly
clean-up. Yet it has also pinned blame for the affair on Transocean,
operator of the Deepwater Horizon rig, and drawn a contrast between how
it operates now with its history under Lord Browne."

I don't see how you can draw that conclusion from what BP has said.
