Vitter : Obama is Shifting Focus From Oil Spill

Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter is disappointed in Obama and, is accusing him of shifting focus away from the oil spill.

Obama has not been back to Louisiana since the 4th of June.

Okay, I understand the criticism here but, really, in all honesty, what do we expect of Obama? He is not a leader. He doesn't seem to care much about anything going on because, he's too concerned with vacationing and, pointing fingers at Republicans and BP. He's far more focused on blaming Bush for the economy.

Even if he were to go to Louisiana, what would he do? Personally, I think he just gets in the way of things. I think the state of Louisiana is far better off keeping Obama as far away as possible.

What do you think?

Let the Testing Begin

BP has now reported that the leak has been cut off but, we are not in the clear just yet. Testing over the next 48 hours will be crucial, and will reveal if the efforts made so far will hold up.

Rand Paul Blasts Obama

Rand Paul is making the case to the public that, Obama's harsh words are damaging and, may work to put BP out of business. He doesn't want BP to go bankrupt and, to be out of business because, they need to be in business to clean up the oil spill.

I have to agree with this statement. I understand BP is to blame but, Obama has gone out of his way to place blame, rather than work with BP to help. It's time to lead and, put the blaming aside for later.

Volunteers Ready for Oil Clean Up But Are Ignored

It is being reported that there are thousands of volunteers to help clean up beaches, as well as help with the oil spill but, instead, most of these folks have been just waiting around for instructions.

Foreign countries have also offered to help but, approval for many of them has either not come or, when it did, it took over a month to do so.

No one knows what the hold up is. The Obama administration promised all this transparency but, instead, like everything else, the people are left confused and, with no answers. The administration is denying most of these accusations but, at the same time, not being specific when answering questions posed by the media.

Millions of gallons of oil have been flowing into the ocean and it seems there is no end in site. What are they going to do? Obama says that BP is responsible but, they were already responsible according to laws that have already been passed. So, really, he didn't do anything concerning placing responsibility.

They've told us that BP has the worst record for safety and other violations but, Obama has been in office for over a year now and, they obviously didn't do enough inspections or, enforce laws that would force BP to correct all these mistakes they are accused of making.

The question remains, what is Obama doing? What is BP doing? What are their plans, if they are not accepting help from others willing to do so? Could they not at least tell us why volunteers are sitting around waiting for instructions? Or why they are not accepting help from foreign countries? It's time to demand some answers. An investigation needs to be done because, there is absolutely no transparency as far as I can see.

Oil Spill

I try to post daily but, yesterday, like today, is the same old stories about the oil spill.

I don't know. I'm so bored with this story. I feel like everyone is lying. I can't imagine why Obama, in my opinion, has failed to do everything he can. It seems like there are so many saying he could do so much more but, I'm not understanding his motives for not doing anymore. I just think the man is evil or incompetent. I could be wrong but, I have yet to find something that puts me at ease.

Here's the current story running on the AP. Knock yourself out.


Gulf Coasters skeptical of Obama, BP promises 

BP Cuts Pipe

BP is still trying to clean up the spill. This time, making a cut in a pipe and hopefully capping the opening.

The spill is threatening beaches in Florida.

Why are there millions of gallons of oil coming out of this spill? I thought the left has been telling us that there's practically no more oil left to drill anywhere. They keep acting like we're almost all tapped out. I guess not, eh?

Obama's Press Conference - In Case You Missed It

Part 6 and 7 are having audio issues. I posted them anyway.

I Am Agreeing With James Carville?

I never could stand James Carville but, in this quick clip, you will actually see him criticizing Obama, concerning his inaction dealing with the recent oil spill.

What I would like to know is, when I turn on the tv, they are all talking about how horrible BP was and, how they always violated all these safety standards, ect. Why were they not closed down?

With a small bit of research, I did find that we are using hair to absorb the oil. So, it's good that some new, inventive ways are being used. You can read more about this here.

Here's the James Carville clip. Enjoy.

Who's to Blame for the Oil Spill?

Personally, I'm not sure but, the article seems to put the blame slightly more on BP. What do you think?
