Back To BP

One of the latest government statements places the responsibility for plugging the gushing oil back on BP. In fact, they are now saying that BP is the only entity that has the expertise to plug it.

This certainly sounds like creating a political defensive posture for the administration. If only BP can handle it then I am free from responsibility.

McClatchy: Thad Allen: Only BP has expertise to stop oil spill
The U.S. official leading the response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill said Sunday that only BP had the expertise to plug the gaping hole in its deepwater well and that he trusted the oil company was doing its best.

WTF!!! Obama owns this crap now! It's another example of this shitty poor administrations dereliction of duty and worse open enabling of these thugs. He's sure showing how bought he is on this one. Lousy leadership is when you blame everyone else and then proceed to wash your hands in an emergency and claim u have no power to deal with it. I find it really hard to believe on the whole FUCKING planet nobody has a better solution to this nightmare then BP! This is a pattern with this guy he claims the very people fouling things up are the ONLY ones capable of fixing their own messes! look at health care , look at his Wall st. fix and it goes on and on like this. Pathetically BAD leadership...NO this isn't leadership @ all this is the opposite. This guy couldn't lead a band of boy scouts let alone the US. Harvard? Yea , Ok IC how that happened.

Obama went into his presidency trying to work the angle of being a bipartisan negotiator. This occurs after a Bush who was essentially anything but, and people distrusted another person like Bush.

This is the downside.

For me its simple, this damn thing has been spilling oil for way too damn long and like everybody else, I'm just thinking when the f does it end.
