Heck of a job, Brownie! (redux)

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm not blaming the government completely. I'm willing to see BP share the blame, as well. What's going on right now, however, is a widespread effort in the mainstream media, the White House, and the Left in general to deflect attention away from Obama's failure and put the spotlight on BP. I'm sure that 60 Minutes is part of that, as well.

Actually you are 100% wrong. You should watch the interview.

I prefer gridlock to what President Obama is proposing.

Fair enough. But the Dems will feel the same way when a Republican is in office again, and on and on we go forever, living in a perpetual state of purgatory. If no one can win, then no one can lose. And here we sit, forever.

Or ideas are proposed that are so common sense that both sides can agree. I do prefer less government to more, however, so gridlock isn't a terrible state for me.

maxie, i never took you as an optimist. I like it on you. lol.

I don't think common sense will ever prevail. I have no real evidence that it will happen. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough? IMO, we're so wound around ourselves as a country right now that more and more people are becoming radicalized on both sides that sooner or later we'll be a country full of radicals representing both sides. It's not about DOING any thing any more. It's about BLAMING, and ALIGNING your opinion so you can be re-elected. Sickening.

Would ANY level of common sense sway the opinion of the radicals on this board? No.

Huh? The "damage" has continued to mount since Day One. If Obama had gotten off his butt from the start, and jumped into action immediately, the spill might have been contained much earlier and the environmental impact been greatly minimizedy. But don't take my word for it. Read the editorial by the New York Times, which lays it out pretty clearly.

Good lord. what a world you live in.

Apparently I and the New York Times live in the same world . . .

I guess you missed that massive health care bill that just got passed.

Only when it is convenient for you.

Again, please watch the 60mins interview. If after that you believe that the USA government should be paying for the clean up vs BP I'll respect your opinion. Right now your entire focus is blaming the government. A foreign company is recklessly operating in our country. I have a serious problem with that. I don't know why you don't.

BP is the largest oil company fully on the green energy bandwagon. Inquiring minds...

Oil companies can't be green, don't you know that? They're EVIL!!

Right there with tabacco companies.

ok, no one answered the question about who is "Brownie." I think it demands an answer from the OP because without clarification it sounds like a racial slur, one which I think warrants a ban. Seriously, WTF!?

So because YOU are ignorant and are projecting racism onto someone, there should be a ban?

Give me a break.

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Projection of Racism might be Step 4, SPD. Watch it.....there could be an airsoft gun in your future.

Anyone with half a clue would recognize "Heck of a job, Brownie" as GW Bush's praise of his head of FEMA, Mike Brown, right after Katrina hit.

Though Obama's had his "Heck of a job, Brownie" moment with Janet Napalitono, the underwear bomber incident. With the recent failed attack in Times Square, it raises the issue (once again) of competence. Napalitono doesn't seem very competent, but we're lucky the terrorists have been incompetent, too.
