How soon until Obama takes credit for fixing the Gulf oil leak?

Any takers?

Any takers?

Im gonna have to go with no on this one.

[mrsleeve]

all ready has, read a random news article on my phone a few hours ago that basically said the white house was taking the credit for getting it shut down and pressuring BP to get it stopped.

will see if I can find the story.

[joshh]

They're just working on the wording.

Every time I see that arrogant narcissist on my TV, I have an uncontrollable urge to throw the remote thru the screen.

Obama has accomplished nothing in his life.
The media elected him.

I'll give him credit for one thing: He knows how to campaign, but he hasn't a clue on how to govern.

Someone tell him there isn't any Affirmative Action in the WH and that he actually has to do some work.

But as his plummeting poll numbers show, he's fuckin' clueless when it comes to governing.

44% job approval and plummeting.

Ralph Nader could probably give him a run for his money if the election were this year.

Well, I'm thinking when the pressure leak issue blows out the seafloor, and then the US has a REAL disaster to resolve, everyone will see what a group of tards we have running things.

He's already taking credit for his policies that have lifted us out this recession, even though unemployment has SURGED under his administration.

Especially if you look at the real numbers. If you stop looking for a job but are still unemployed, you are not counted under the official numbers.

The "real" unemployed/underemployed number is closer to 20%, just like Spain.

Only 20%? I had my money closer to 25% but it's good to see I was in the ball park. The good ol' "Guess-O'-Matic" works for BHO and Co., figured I'd take a stab at it.

all politics aside.

during the bush administration, I saw a lot of people say "don't criticize him harshly, he is still the president of the greatest nation on earth."

so far, I have seen every single solitary person who said that, eat their own words.

[reelop19]

you just said "all politics aside" and then made a political statement. You're as retarded as everybody made Bush out to be.....all politics aside of course

[ColdAccord]

I meant that current stanza.

But thank you for discrediting my education on the internets, I'm sure my 3 degrees were coincidental.

[ck_taft325is]

Heh, BHO is dismantling the Greatest Nation on God's Green Earth. So, he makes it a tad harder than normal. I think Bush made huge steps in laying the foundation for what BHO is attempting to do now.

That aside, I have faith in the American way. The spirit of America is strong. Given the time, we will bring this country back to it's intended course. The Constitution is not an "archaic document". I believe fully, as I'm sure most American's and members of this board do, that it is a living document and our last defense against evil men. I may feel our current President was a mistake and has taken strides to discredit this countries founders, way and ideals, but without overt political suicide or revolution, he is still bound by the "archaic document" he wipes his ass with. I hope he turns a corner and stops being so much a Politician. Stops campaigning and starts leading.

God Bless America.

Never.

He's going to use it to stop offshore drilling and promote his initiative to remove our ability to produce and access fossil fuels. He will say it was a bad idea in the first place and that his ideology was right in the first place.

[Liam]

You mean he hasn't already?

[uofom3]

It's not fixed... ultimately he'll probably keep saying it's all him but he's not taking credit for it... he's using it to forward and alternate agenda (one that will ultimately continue to damage the US economy).
