Is Obama, Mussolini?
Strong arming $20 Billion from private enterprise. Clearly un-Constitutional. Judge, jury, and executioner in one shot. He fires the GM CEO. With the help of a leftist judge, Obama ignores contract law and strong arms bondholders. Obamacare. Porkulus.
We've got one shot at saving our Republic on November 2, 2010. Otherwise the greatness America as founded, will die.
Worst President in history. First American Dictator.

Great GOP Ad
This is a great ad. Really drives home the point how much Obama sucks. This is what happens when you vote for liberals.

Where's the Leadership?
Is it just me or do we have a personal injury attorney pretending to President?
No leadership. No accountability. Just blame, threats, bigger government, and more taxes.
He flat out lied when he said we are running out of places to drill. We have plenty of land and closer to shore (non deep) drilling left untapped.
This is what happens when you elect liberals, especially those unqualified for the job.

Gulf Oil Spill Makes Obama Whine
Obama explains that his opponents would have fought him if he had pre-emptively cracked down on BP. From JustOneMinute:
In an interview with POLITICO, the president said: “I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and I had said we need to crack down a lot harder on oil companies and we need to spend more money on technology to respond in case of a catastrophic spill, there are folks up there, who will not be named, who would have said this is classic, big-government overregulation and wasteful spending.”
Wow. Of course,others would have criticized the President for taking his eye off of the vital effort to reform healthcare. And speaking of which, if the goal of Obama's Presidency is to avoid criticism and confrontation (rather than, for example, advancing policies in which he believes), why didn't he just drop the push for healthcare reform?
The First Emoter also adopted an old Frank Rich talking point:
The president also implied that anti-big government types such as tea party activists were being hypocritical on the issue.
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,” Obama said. “Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”
Let's see - BP is drilling on Federally leased site in a Gulf which borders five states and several other countries. I see an Federal role there that is a bit different from the Feds bailing out the guy down the street who over-extended himself when he bought a house, or taking over health care, but maybe that is just me.
From Red State:
Hmmmm. Notice a pattern?
Seems like our Commander-in-Chief feels that it’s not necessary to engage another being in conversation, because with his superior intellect, he’s able to discern what they’re going to say, without their having said it!
And then he blames them for what he thinks they would have said!
My Star Trek days were long ago, but even Spock had to come into physical contact with the party on the other end of the Vulcan mind-meld, if I recall correctly.
You can’t play this game, Mr. President. It’s not fair, but worse, it’s not presidential. (Imagine FDR before Yalta: “What’s the point of meeting with Stalin? I know he’s going to want Eastern Europe.”)(Imagine Ronaldus Maximus in Berlin: “I suppose I could ask Mikhail to tear down this wall, but I bet I know what he’d say!)
And your speculation deflects attention from the actions you did take with respect to the MMS, namely appointing Liz Birnbaum to head the agency: an Ivy League environmental lawyer who wouldn’t know an oil well if she were to fall bass-ackwards into one. How are you going to blame the Republicans for that boo-boo?
From Patterico:
It’s everyone’s fault except Obama’s. He even blamed the media for focusing on his lack of passion because it makes “good TV.”
Expecting government to do its job in cleaning up the BP Oil Spill is not a justification for Obama’s massive deficits; his takeover of the banks, the car industry, and healthcare; or his repeated bailouts, pork, and stimulus projects. Except to Obama.

Guiliani Rates Obama's Gulf Oil Response
fHere is Rudy Guiliani rating Obama's oil spill leadership. Best part is when Rudy talks about the "crimes" BP has committed according to the Obama administration. Guiliani basically says that if the BP organization has committed crimes, why is Obama letting them handle the leak? Ah, logic the domain of conservatism.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Shows Leadership Obama Lacks
President Obama couldn't suck enough. We are officially leaderless in Washington D.C. Thank God for people like Bobby Jindal.
From NECN:
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said the state will not waiting for federal approval to begin building sand barriers to protect the coastline from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Oil has pushed at least 12 miles into Louisiana's marshes, with two major pelican rookeries awash in crude.
Gov. Jindal was critical of the amount of boom his state received to ward off the oil seeping toward the coastline. But his major gripe comes at the expense of the Army Corps of Engineers, who have yet to give the go-ahead for the building of sand booms to protect the Louisiana wetlands. He used photographic evidence of oil breaking through hard booms, soft booms and another layer of protection, before being finally being corralled by a sand boom built by the National Guard.
"It is so much better for us. We don't want oil on one inch of Louisiana's coastline, but we'd much rather fight this oil off of a hard coast, off of an island, off of an island, off of a sandy beach on our coastal islands, rather than having to fight it inside in these wetlands," Gov. Jindal said, making the case for sand booms.
The governor said he has been forced to protect Louisiana without the approval of the Army Corps of Engineers, which is weighing the ecological impact of the construction of more sand booms.
"We are not waiting for them. We are going to build it," Jindal said.
"We can either fight battle -- we can fight this oil -- on the Barrier Islands 15 to 20 miles off of our coast, or we can face it in thousands of miles of fragmented wetlands," Gov. Jindal said, clearing favoring the first option. "Every day we're not given approval on this emergency permit to create more of these sand booms is another day when that choice is made for us, as more and more miles of our shore are hit by oil."
The oil spill, which has lasted 33 days since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, has yet to be stopped by British Petroleum at the source. The situation is dire for Gulf coast states.
"It is clear the resources needed to protect our coast are still not here," Gov. Jindal said. "Oil sits and waits for cleanup, and every day that it waits for cleanup more of our marsh dies."

Fun Facts About Natural Oil Spills
What the tree hugging eco-nazis fail to mention about big bad oil is that nature spills more per year than any man caused spill. Right now, liberals have their panties in a bunch over the BP accident. Perhaps they should pull their panties out out their cracks and chill out. The gulf will recover quickly as nature does. Stopping drilling is just spin to pacify stupid leftists.
Imagine if the White House had done its job from day one. We may have contained most of this oil from reaching coast line. Unfortunately, Obama was preoccupied demonizing Wall Street and Arizonans for over a week.
A study by researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is the first to quantify the amount of oil residue in seafloor sediments that result from natural petroleum seeps off Santa Barbara, California.
The study shows the oil content of sediments is highest closest to the seeps and tails off with distance, creating an oil fallout shadow. It estimates the amount of oil in the sediments down current from the seeps to be the equivalent of approximately 8-80 Exxon Valdez oil spills.
NASA scientists find that tons of oil seep into the Gulf of Mexico each year. Twice an Exxon Valdez spill worth of oil seeps into the Gulf of Mexico every year, according to a new study that will be presented January 27 at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.
But the oil isn't destroying habitats or wiping out ocean life. The ooze is a natural phenomena that's been going on for many thousands of years, according to Roger Mitchell, Vice President of Program Development at the Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) in Rockville Md. "The wildlife have adapted and evolved and have no problem dealing with the oil," he said.

Obama Spends Week Race Bating Arizona Immigration Law While Oil Spill Reaches Shore
Obama fiddled while Rome burned. He wasted time rabble rousing and race bating Arizonans who just want the law to protect them. Unfortunately, it appears that our community organizing President is only good at community organizing. At a time when we need a President to be Presidential, we are stuck with one who lacks the capability.
Turns out the administration was unaware that the defense department has oil spill fighting equipment. Whole administration is a bunch of novices. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
From the NY Times H/T to Gateway Pundit:

From the NY Times H/T to Gateway Pundit:
As oil edged toward the Louisiana coast and fears continued to grow that the leak from a seabed oil well could spiral out of control, officials in the Obama administration publicly chastised BP America for its handling of the spreading oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, where Obama is expected to travel this weekend.
Yet a review of the response suggests it may be too simplistic to place all the blame for the unfolding environmental catastrophe on the oil company. The federal government also had opportunities to move more quickly, but did not do so while it waited for a resolution to the spreading spill from BP.
The Department of Homeland Security waited until Thursday to declare that the incident was “a spill of national significance,” and then set up a second command center in Mobile, Ala. The actions came only after the estimate of the size of the spill was increased fivefold to 5,000 barrels a day.
The delay meant that the Homeland Security Department waited until late this week to formally request a more robust response from the Department of Defense, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano acknowledging even as late as Thursday afternoon that she did not know if the Defense Department even had equipment that might be helpful.
By Friday afternoon, she said, the Defense Department had agreed to send two large military transport planes to spray chemicals that can disperse the oil while it is still in the Gulf.
