Obama says he's finding out 'whose ass to kick' over Gulf disaster - Polidicks

[QUOTE=GunFox;22461815]Annnnnd what do you think BP has been doing? It's not like this wasn't expected. Someone is about to get thrown under the bus who probably had little to nothing to do with it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22467742]Maybe he should look at his administration and the US Government for a place to lay blame. The US Government allowed this spill to happen and they aren't doing much in the way of cleaning it up or trying to fix it. They are nearly as bad as BP.[/QUOTE] How did the government cause this?

[QUOTE=lulzbocks;22468147]How did the government cause this?[/QUOTE] They didn't cause it, but they're held partly responsible for the cleaning effort because the oil spill is on federal waters.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;22461800]:foxnews::siren:[B]OBAMA THREATENS TO MURDER PEOPLE, MORE AT 8[/B]:siren::foxnews: Obama seems to the most "person-like" president so far.[/QUOTE] I'd say Bush was. He had that whole "I have no I dead what we are talking about either" personality when it came to discussing politics just like most normal people have.

[QUOTE=lulzbocks;22468147]How did the government cause this?[/QUOTE] The Obama Administration didn't cause it. The US Government is partially responsible because of the lack of regulation they had on the operation. The Obama Administration isn't doing shit to clean it up, though. [QUOTE=evilweazel;22468769]they didn't cause it in anyway nor is it their responsibility to clean it up, they're doing as much as they need to right now.[/QUOTE] Uh ya it is.

[QUOTE=Napoleon I;22469705]what?[/QUOTE] The Obama Administration is doing less to fix this mess than fucking BP is. That's incredibly sad.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22469756]The Obama Administration is doing less to fix this mess than fucking BP is. That's incredibly sad.[/QUOTE] ...what?

[QUOTE=Napoleon I;22470113]...what?[/QUOTE] I'm saying that the fucking US Government is more incompetent than a fucking oil company when it comes to cleaning up a disaster.

Why do people hate obama? I'm not american so I haven't been following to closely. Is obama a good or a bad president, compared to bush?

[QUOTE=Comrade General;22463355]I will get on all fours and suck obama's cock if he pulls american soldiers out of iraq.[/QUOTE] You'll probably do that anyways.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22469756]The Obama Administration is doing less to fix this mess than fucking BP is. That's incredibly sad.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I can't believe Obama hasn't sent out workers from the nation oil spill clean-up program, like the ones who have so much more technology and much better work ethic than BP. Oh wait, they don't fucking exist, the government doesn't HAVE a crack team full of people who can handle the kind of situation we are in, because they have never had some kind of problem like this before.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22469506][b]The US Government is partially responsible because of the lack of regulation they had on the operation.[/b][/QUOTE] That's like saying it's the US's fault Pearl Harbor was bombed because they didn't attack, at that time, neutral planes. read: wrong [editline]08:09PM[/editline] [QUOTE=wonkadonk;22470218]Why do people hate obama?

He's done a fantastic job of cleaning up Bush's problems.

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;22470218]Why do people hate obama? I'm not american so I haven't been following to closely. Is obama a good or a bad president, compared to bush?[/QUOTE] Because a lot of people are retarded. He's good, it's just that people talk out of their ass.

What have they done so far to even minimize the damage? [editline]08:43PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Napoleon I;22470491]Because a lot of people are retarded.

Other than this situation I have absolutely no problem with Obama, I think he's great.

[QUOTE=Napoleon I;22471289]:downs:[/QUOTE] Yea, because you know I'm right that's your only response.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22470200]I'm saying that the fucking US Government is more incompetent than a fucking oil company when it comes to cleaning up a disaster.[/QUOTE] no?

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;22470218]Why do people hate obama? I'm not american so I haven't been following to closely.

The opposition to Obama says he is going to destroy America, usher in socialism, and may be the antichrist. The hate is exaggerated because a good sized chunk of his opposition is loud and retarded.

[QUOTE=Warhol;22471523]no?[/QUOTE] Obviously so since they haven't been able or willing to help deal with this shit.

Obama is the coolest president ever.

[QUOTE=Napoleon I;22472470]You obviously haven't been paying much attention[/QUOTE] You obviously haven't. They have [I]approved[/I] plans to do all those things, but they haven't personally done any of it. Unless you would like to show me a source that says that they have, in which case I will shut the fuck up and apologize(not in that order). Oh, and to make myself clear(in case I wasn't already), I am talking about the feds, not any state or foreign government.
