Turkey And The Straw

President Obama comes across as insensitive when he tells those in the Gulf...

"Even though I'm president of the United States, my power is not limitless...I can't dive down there and plug the hole. I can't suck it up with a straw."

President Please!

With the "straw" comment in mind, it's appropriate that the photo was taken at an establishment called Tacky Jack's and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The President also stated, "we're going to be able to leave the Gulf Coast in better shape than it was before".

The people of the Gulf should tremble when a representative of the federal government tells them that.

We're from the government and we're here to help?

How'd that 48 hour threat work out?

Plug The Damn Hole

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked?

It looks like the President has failed in his weekend effort to

Plug The Damn Hole

On the golf course!

His putt must have rimmed out and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Mr. "I'm not going to rest...until the leak is stopped at the source" has found time to play basketball, attend a barbecue in Chicago, weekended in North Carolina and did a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer during the 56 days (so far) of the Gulf Oil Harkin.

Obama's "entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak".

That's been Joe Biden's goal while in South Africa for the World Cup.

Why has ABC changed the quote from












To "plug the damn leak"?

The Des Moines Register on Super Bowl Sunday --

"More People Will Read The Register Today Than Will Watch The Big Game".

"With a combined print and online audience of 587,878 readers, The Des Moines Register is a tremendous scoring opportunity".

The Nielsen numbers for Central Iowa showed 632,000 people watched Super Bowl XLIV.

In the political arena, you had Mari "Mrs. Big Lug Nut" Culver admitting

“It will be nice to make money. That’s never a bad thing.”

That's Blasphemy to Dummycrats and the scientific community is united in that fact.

At a Cedar Rapids campaign rally, with Vice President Joe Biden --

"If you’re not pumped now, you’re not pump-able".

November showed no pump-a-tude.

Here's Biden, in Cedar Rapids, on the Big Lug Nut --

“I’ve known Chet — I hate to admit this — since he was seven years old, sitting in my front lawn in Wilmington, Delaware with his dad and mom..." shortly before referring to him as "Chuck Culver".

There was Rozanne, err Taxanne Conlin, "whatever her name is", running for the Senate because --

"I'm fed up with tax breaks for the very wealthy..."

All the while this very wealthy person, with assets between $12.5 million and $46.8 million, took tax abatement on her $1.7 Million home and received $64.2 Million in housing tax credits.

The Big Lug Nut brought us --

“This isn’t my first rodeo. We’re going to be ready and we’re going to win this race.”

And

“I can guarantee you one thing, we’re going to win on Nov. 2”.

It wasn't his first guarantee, or the first time he was wrong.

"And I guarantee you by late spring and summer, we're going to have a record amount of job creation and economic development in the state."

Iowa's unemployment rate remained well above 6.5% for all of 2010.

Without a doubt, the Big Lug Nut's best came from the first gubernatorial debate...

Brain Suck
























Nationally, President Obama tops the list with --

"I'm not going to rest...until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil on the Gulf is contained and cleaned up and the people of this region are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods".

All the while taking getaways to Chicago and North Carolina, finding time to play basketball, go golfing and take in a Nationals game.

And

"...we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."

His ended up getting kicked in November.

However, he was on top of his game with

Here's to 2011!

What To Do

The U.S. Government has issued another threat regarding the Gulf Oil Harkin

BP Given 48 Hours by U.S. Coast Guard to Step Up Capacity to Contain Spill

Or else someone will get their ass kicked?

Plug The Damn Hole

Before Mid-July!

Before August!

Before the Fall!

Before Christmas!

No more “top kill”, “junk shot”, “top hat”.

Show the world we are serious about plugging the damn hole and the scientific community is united in that fact.














That'll do it!

That's what I call a "containment dome".

Dogleg Left?

The White House is in a snit over complaints of President Obama's leisure time activities while the Gulf Coast remains under siege.

Obama's spokesmonkey doesn't “think that there’s a person in this country that doesn’t think that their president ought to have a little time to clear his mind” and having time to himself "probably does us all good."

Normally I wouldn't care, but I'm not the one who stated at the start of this fiasco...

"I'm not going to rest...until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil on the Gulf is contained and cleaned up and the people of this region are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods."

Obama is the one who set the bar that high and now not to measure up is a grave disservice to those in the Gulf and the Country as a whole.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

He better be praying that the relief wells work, because the worst case scenario pegs it at two to nearly four years for all the oil to leak from the field if it can't be stopped.

Guaranteeing him a lot more time to play golf, while the next President handles the situation.

Dilutional?

Focused like a loser --err laser, the Obama administration has clearly made the Gulf oil spill its "highest priority since this crisis occurred".

Per the President...

"...this entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak, and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines".


As part of their effort to mitigate the damage, in a picture that only appears out of focus, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Vice President Joe Biden work on a theory of diluting the oil with water unleashed via the latest Super Soaker technology.


















"...does this administration maintain a constant sense of urgency about this, and are we examining every recommendation, every idea that's out there, and making our best judgment as to whether these are the right steps to take, based on the best experts that we know of. And on that answer, the answer is yes -- or on that question, the answer is yes".















Here White House staffers, using their best judgment, examine the beer pong/urine theory to dilute the oil.

It was an idea recommended, via the best experts, from the constant sense of urgency their bladders felt.

The President has been busy with his own experts -- we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."

The four people highlighted here would be a good place to start and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Thrill Is Gone

Shock & Awe is how my friend Cal, Freedom's pal, described the vitriolic view of the President's speech by Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.

Olbermann:

"It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days."

"Nothing specific at all was said."

"I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's startling."

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

"No direction."

"I don't sense executive command."

Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."

Now Matthews knows how we all felt with his Obama "thrill going up my leg" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Associated Press quickly put out a fact check and had six corrections.

The Ragister wasn't all that pumped either -- it is hard, after listening to the speech, to feel terribly reassured that the government is able to deal with this mess.

Restless

The "I'm not going to rest...until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil on the Gulf is contained and cleaned up and the people of this region are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods" tour continued this weekend for President Obama.

Friday night Obama made a trip to the Washington Nationals' stadium to watch his beloved(?) Chicago White Sox take on the Nationals young phenom Stephen Strasburg.

In a stunning development, and the scientific community is united in that fact, Obama made time to golf with Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday.

Chris noticed the irony of President Obama saying, "I'm not going to rest...until the leak is stopped at the source" as the press covered his Chicago holiday weekend -- this is his second getaway since the Gulf oil rig exploded April 20.

That's nothing new and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Last December he used these words while remaining on vacation with his family in Hawaii...

Obama: 'We will not rest' until air terror plotters caught

He went golfing the next day.

In January Obama said, "We will not rest until we build an economy that's ready for America's future".

The U.S. unemployment rate was 9.7% when he made that statement and now is 9.9%.

Hmmm...Who does this sound like?




















Oh yeah, another famous golfer.

"...I will pursue as my primary goal in life the killer or killers who slaughtered Nicole and Mr. Goldman. They are out there somewhere. Whatever it takes to identify them and bring them in..."

I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.

Kicks

I mentioned, Tuesday, that a good place for the President to start kicking ass would be with Rahm Emanuel, Joe Biden, Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau.

I also opined --

If you're limber enough, you might want to consider your own as well.
