Six weeks ago, Obama was told about the oil spill, and that it was going to be a mega disaster. He went a week before doing anything, then lied, saying he's been all over it since day one. Governor Jindall asked for five million feet of hard boom on May 2, and has so far has received about 800,000 feet. Jindall also requested that he be allowed to build sandy berms to protect the shoreline. Not done because there had to be an environmental impact study by the Environmental Protection Agency first. Truly. What he did first was send lawyers. Then threaten individuals that work for the oil companies with criminal penalties and lawsuits, to put a "boot on the neck of BP". Then he made a couple speeches, made sure Bush and Cheney were blamed, and flew down for a photo op. Meanwhile 17 countries that had the experience, knowledge and expertise to help, were shut out. This disaster did not not have to be as horrible as it is. He didn't allocate resources. Essentially, Barry did nothing.
We have 10% unemployment, and rising. Unemployment has nearly doubled since he took office. Of course it's Bush's fault. Recent jobs report shows 431,000 new jobs last month. Of course Barry, the Dems and Jurassic Press use this to say how much better things are getting. What they neglected to point out was that 411,000 of those jobs were census worker temp jobs. It turns out too, that over the past few weeks, the census workers were fired and rehired to drive up the employment numbers. We had a net gain of 20,000 people employed in productive jobs. Barry says this is a good thing. He lies. It's a really bad thing.
How to finance all this government growth? The Bush tax cuts are due to expire. Right now, 1% of the population pays 18% of the taxes. That's about 95% more than the bottom half of our population pays. If the "rich" pay any more than their "fair share", they too will run out of money. Yet Barry says they must pay more, so he can continue running up the debt beyond the $trillions he has. He lies. His programs of capitalist cronyism is impoverishing us all. By the way, rich people are already moving their money off shore, this including rich Dems and Statists.
The TARP and "Stimulus" money has essentially gone to Dem controlled state and local governments. A lot are sitting in Dem campaign coffers.
North Korea sinks a South Korean boat. Nothing said or done. The Obama way. Maybe he could send some lawyers (if he hasn't already).
China thumbs it's collective nose at us. Nadda.
Iran continues to build it nuclear stuff. Nadda.
He was quick though, to jump on the 'condemn Israel' international bandwagon for the blockade event. He called it a measured response. He lied. He supports Palestine and not Israel. At least that's more than his usual 'nadda' response. See, if it makes America look bad, he supports it. Another example of that is the president of Mexico insulting the US from the White House and Capitol Building, and him agreeing. Statist Paul McCartney insults a past president and the American people while in the White House and Barry agreeing. This last at a star studded awards ceremony. Wednesday night, which has become a regular party night for Barry and Michelle. Party on dude!
He was willing to "dis" the military by not attending the Memorial Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Vacation more important.
Millions of gallons leaking in the worst environmental disaster in history, but he goes to fund raisers for his Statist friends.
The state of Arizona is under attack from Mexico, with their murderers, rapists, gun runners, cartels, drug runners and kidnappers. What has Barry done? Nadda. Well, he did condemn Arizona for trying to protect itself, so I guess that's something.
This guy has not only never run anything, but has never had a job. He's held positions in his rise to power. It's showing. He doesn't know what to do about anything, other than give speeches, photo ops, and send lawyers. He has, like FDR, surrounded himself with intellectuals, professors and lawyers, none of whom have any idea how the real world works, any idea about the natural order of things, but have the power to make us conform to their theoretical paradigm. We are suffering, and it will get worse because Barry and his people have no clue what to do about anything. They have no clue how to solve any problems. Words and lawyers is all they know.
