I clearly recall Obama claiming he was going to try to keep one of his golf shoes on BPs throat,  between tee times...

Boot now on Obama's throat: And it will stay there until he stands up to BP.

The question is not whether President Obama spoke inappropriately by saying that he wants to "know whose ass to kick" for the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The question is why Mr. Obama hasn't started kicking.

It has been seven weeks since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, time enough for the Obama administration to explain the rules of the game to British Petroleum. On Tuesday, however, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen sent a plaintive letter to BP CEO Tony Hayward, asking for "complete, ongoing transparency" regarding the company's system for paying claims. Adm. Allen is national incident commander for the government's response to this environmental catastrophe, but in the letter he sounded more like someone playing the child's game Mother May I. "I appreciate your attention to this matter," he wrote to Mr. Hayward.

From that tone, you never would guess that Mr. Hayward is the stonewaller who first claimed that the leak wouldn't be a big deal because "it's a big ocean out there," denied the existence of underwater oil clouds that could damage the gulf for years and still refuses to allow outside access that could determine objectively how much oil is gushing from the well and how much is being captured. On Tuesday, Adm. Allen placed the daily leak at between 12,000 barrels and 25,000 barrels. BP's early estimate had been 4,000.

Two days after the explosion, a BP vice president noted the potential for a "major spill." At that moment, Mr. Obama should have issued an executive order placing the military in charge of the response. Such an order would not have presumed that the government had the technical expertise to plug the leak, but the order would have been the "boot on the throat" of BP that Mr. Obama and members of his administration used as the bumper-sticker slogan to show the White House's engagement...

Regime to BP: Don't Plug the Hole






It's just like the government told Bobby Jindal, "Don't build your sand berms, we're worried about where you're going to get the sand."  This is highly suspicious.  And the media, they're perplexed, too. They don't really know who is responsible for the delay.  Why don't you just go straight to the horse's mouth and ask Obama?  'Cause it's his decision.  Obama says he's the man in charge here.  Go ask him.  This is another version of the story, two different AP writers on the same story: "The plan to start choking off oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico was suddenly halted as government officials and BP said further analysis must be done today before critical tests could proceed."  No explanation was given for the decision.  No date was set for when testing would begin on the new tighter fitting cap that BP installed on Monday.  In the meantime, oil continued spewing into the Gulf.  Just what they want.  I guess the answer might have something to do with cap and trade.  How can Obama and Thad Allen allow BP to stop the leak before Harry Reid brings cap and trade to the floor of the Senate for debate and passage?  What would Rahm Emanuel say?  "You are wasting a good crisis here.  We're not going to fix this leak.  If we fix this leak, we don't have a chance of getting cap and trade passed."

Right.  So, he did not say that, which you so clearly remember.  Thank you for admitting the lie.  First honest cite and explanation you have given out here.

Putting your woeful ignorance and you petty personal attacks aside for a while mnot, heres a direct quote from Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel:

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that its an opportunity to do things that you'd think you could not do before."

And high on the Dem agenda? Demonizing business and industry and pushing extreme environmental laws through Congress that will further wreck our economy.

So why would this administration want that well capped - thats a waste of a serious crisis, especially if its capped before they can put it to good use.

Ok, like all good Chief of Staff's Rahm is a dick, no argument there.

Do you really believe they didn't want the leak plugged?.... REALLY?
