OBAMA, "I CAN'T SUCK IT UP WITH A STRAW," EXCUSES NOT ACCEPTED!

The Barack Obama dog and pony show has once again gone to the Gulf Coast Region to make PR stops and attempt to create a picture that Obama knows what he is doing. The real problem here other than total ineptness is that what we are seeing now should have happened in the first few days after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rather than almost two months later.

We now know that the Obama administration turned down assistance in the first few days from the Dutch who have managed a similar situation before. They turned down skimmers from Texas that would have begun skimming the oil from the surface immediately. Booms in a Maine warehouse were ignored and with just a stroke of his pen Obama could have issued a waiver of the Jones Act allowing foreign vessels to enter the Gulf and assist with the clean up.

While in the region though, Obama has enjoyed partaking of the Gulf Coast cuisine. He had shrimp, crayfish, crab cakes, seafood salad and snow cones while touring the beaches. All the time at every opportunity making excuse after excuse as to why he has responded so poorly, blamed everyone from BP to Tea Party participants to George Bush while taking NO responsibility for his failings and lack of response.

The Gulf oil spill is truly a disaster unprecedented in our history but as terrible as it is the spill is showing the world just how disastrous Barack Obama is as President and his administration as handling the massive responsibilities of the Presidency.
