"I ultimately take responsibility for solving this crisis," Obama said Friday. "I'm the president, and the buck stops with me."

this post got an unrecommend ..... please. :crazy:

[LeftyAndProud60]

1. Rick Sanchez and Anderson Cooper just said he's not in charge and has no emotion. NT

[Botany]

2. "they" are doing their jobs ...

.... wait for it and they will tell of the huge democratic losses coming up this fall too.

[butterfly77]

4. Sanchez is trying to prove something..

I don't know what and Anderson Cooper has been on the attack every since he knew Obama was going to be Pres..

[Phx_Dem]

12. Android Cooper should know about having no emotion. n/t

[Frances]

16. I thought one of the worst things about Clinton was that

he could "feel your pain"

Dems--damned by the media if they do have emotions and damned if they don't

[LakeSamish706]

3. I think he did a fine job on letting everyone know who to contact if they have a problem.

Thad Allen is in charge, and if you don't like the answer he gives you then contact me. Good job Pres.

[Botany]

5. They all have my number and know how to get in contact w/ me.

"Haley Barbour couldn't make it today." :rofl:

[Jennicut]

7. Where was Haley Barbour anyway?

I think that line was a dig at Jindal's incessant whining.

[Botany]

8. He had something else more important to do today.

:rofl:

Haley wants to run for president in 2012

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. I'm taking charge!

Difference level= 0

[LeftyAndProud60]

9. LOL. NOw Sanchez finally gets some facts about why they stopped the mud yesterday and he looks

amazed. He should probably do the research before they report.

[Clio the Leo]

10. much better performance today IMO....

.. I didn't think yesterday was BAD ... but today was better.

One thing about the President, if you can get him down, you cant hold him down. Bounces right back up. He's like a Weeble Wobble.

[Phx_Dem]

11. Charlie Crist sure wasn't shy about cozying up to the Prez!

I was kind of surprise to see him all over the President after catching so much flak from the teabaggers for supporting Obama. Looks like Charlie doesn't give a shit what the wacko wing thinks!

:rofl:

[Jennicut]

13. Crist wants to be seen with a Dem President. He needs all the Dem votes

in Florida to win.

[earth mom]

14. Why didn't Obama take charge on day one? Sorry, but it's a little too little too late.

:thumbsdown:

[Frances]

15. And you would have known exactly what to do

[earth mom]

18. You need to educate yourself as to WHY Obama did little to nothing. Here's a link

that should connect the dots and explain why it's beens WEEKS AND WEEKS and the gusher is still spewing!

And I bet you won't reply to my reply to you in a thoughtful manner because you know everything and you're always right, ain't that so? :eyes:

Statement about day one activities

For Immediate Release April 22, 2010

Statement by the Press Secretary on the President's Oval Office Meeting to Discuss the Situation in the Gulf of Mexico

The President and First Lady's thoughts and prayers are with the family members and loved ones facing the tragic situation in the Gulf of Mexico. The President was briefed in the Oval Office this afternoon by a number of senior officials including Department of Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano, Admiral Thad Allen, United States Coast Guard Commandant, Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, EPA Deputy Administrator Bob Perciasepe, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate as well as a host of senior white house officials including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change Carol Browner, Chair of Council on Environmental Quality Nancy Sutley and Director of the National Economic Council Lawrence Summers.

The United States Coast Guard informed the President that search and rescue efforts are ongoing. The President made sure that the entire federal government was offering all assistance needed in the rescue effort as well as in mitigating and responding to the environmental impact and that this response was being treated as the number one priority. The President asked the responding departments to devote every resource needed to respond to this incident and investigate its cause.

The National Response Team has been activated and Unified and Area Commands have been established near New Orleans to coordinate search and rescue operations and oil spill response efforts.

The Department of the Interior and the Minerals Management Service as well as the Coast Guard are also working with responsible parties to support their important efforts to secure the pollution sources. Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Hayes was dispatched to the region yesterday to assist with coordination and response. The President wishes to thank the bravery of the professionals across the government who have worked non-stop over the last two days to save lives and protect the environment.

Dumb

[earth mom]

22. Sorry but I don't click on bullshit one word links like that one.

:eyes:

[truebrit71]

25. And do what exactly? Put on his cape and swoop down to the ocean floor and plug it himself?

Please...

[lunatica]

30. Do you know for sure that he didn't?

He isn't like Bush who loved photo ops and doesn't seem to need to stuff his crotch with socks and pretend to be a hero. Haven't you noticed a pattern to what he does? He starts working on things right away and basically ignores the screaming until he comes out with something substantive.

Like it or not not a single person has come forth knowing what to do. Not one scientist, not one engineer, not one environmentalist, and certainly not one politician has come forth. They're all in over their heads.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

27. Yeah, as they go through this calmly and methodically they will find a solution that's why I'm

cautious of too much pressure. Maybe they need more encouragement, than attacks as pressure and anxiety leads to mistakes most times out of ten. If they have to have a steady hand and all the world's support it'll help in a delicate operation. We have to be patient, positive, constructive and innovative those are our best path ways to hopefully capping the hole.

[Fast Dude]

31. "We have to be patient", my ass!

The Gulf of Mexico is literally being turned into an enviromental wasteland.

We don't have time to be "patient".

[Dont TS Me Brah]

32. +1000 oh yeah, he's really stepped up. nt
