Obama Sat and Fiddled

Mr. President, whatcha been doin' with yourself while the largest oil spill in history ravages the Gulf of Mexico? Seems to me you were quick to excoriate George W. Bush for his handling of Hurricane Katrina. You've got a lot of room to talk, haven't you?

Ok, lamestream media, here's your opportunity to actually step up to the plate and do some honest reporting of the facts. Your guy came up lacking and many in the Gulf States are suffering and losing their livelihood while Obama sat and fiddled for far too long. Maybe he hates those Southerners who rejected him in 2008.

Video from NOAA site shows officials knew quickly of potential for massive oil flow

'A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration video, shot as officials coordinated response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster, shows that federal officials almost immediately worried that the oil well could leak up to 110,000 barrels per day, or 4.6 million gallons.

The video appears on a federal Web site.

It was filmed in Seattle, at NOAA’s Western Regional Center, as scientists and federal officials in Seattle, Houston and New Orleans engaged in telephone conferences, according to a companion document on the Web site.'

It took President Obama 12 days to visit the disaster area today.
Yesterday, The New York Times reported that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was not aware the Defense Department had equipment for dealing with oil slicks. The White House defended their non-response today.

And then there’s this…
On April 29th, Ron Gouget, who once managed Gulf spill response teams, publicly pilloried the administration’s response to the tragic oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. Gouget helped create the 1994 plan that allowed expedited burning of oil as soon as a major spill had occurred — without having to wait for permission or approvals."
