Sarah Palin Slams Obama For Lax Response to Gulf Oil Spill Crisis
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, May 23, 2010, 4:19 PM
Sarah Palin slammed President Obama today for his lax response to the Gulf oil spill crisis. (Obama went golfing again yesterday.) Palin pointed out Big Oil’s record donations to Obama in 2008.
The AFP reported:
Right-wing darling Sarah Palin accused US President Barack Obama on Sunday of leading a lax response to the Gulf of Mexico spill because he is too close to the big oil companies.
The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, who champions off-shore drilling, criticized the media for not drawing the link between Obama and big oil and said if this spill had happened under former Republican president George W. Bush the scrutiny would have been far tougher.
“I don’t know why the question isn’t asked by the mainstream media and by others if there’s any connection with the contributions made to president Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration,” she told Fox News Sunday.
More than 3.5 million dollars has been given to candidates by BP over the last 20 years, with the largest single donation, 77,051 dollars, going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Wow. The next time the AFP represents itself as a legitimate news source and not the propaganda arm of leftist government, remember this quote.
Incredible to see this in a news story.

HOUSTON – In its harshest criticism of BP to date, the Obama administration on Sunday said the oil giant had missed “deadline after deadline” in its efforts to seal the blownout oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hey wait, Odumbo stepped up his criticism today. That will help.
DaMav commented:
Right-wing darling Sarah Palin..
A disgrace! Imagine if AFP started an article as “Left wing darling Barrack Obama…” or “Left wing darling Nancy Pelosi…”
The rest of the article wreaks of bias as usual but this is really over the top.
(agree with you #1; I came here after blasting them for this at the source)

This administration has done absolutely nothing to help in the clean up, which makes me think they want it this way. Remember all those pictures of New Orleans coupled with the denunciation of GWB, where is the MFM on this. Why they get a pass don’t you know.
davidt commented:
Palin made these statements in a way that will force the Democrat News Media to report BP’s contributions to Obama. If the DNM chooses to report her statements, which they always do because of their jihad against her.
jainphx commented:
Yes but Sarah is not smart, she’s a light weight! Yeah just light enough to take this scum out of office. Just dumb enough to keep the truth out where every one can see. Well if this is a light weight dummy, give me two more just like her.
bill-tb commented:
Once Obama-Speak figured out his gigantic bloated government that could never do anything right, has no firebooms, what was there to do except blame BP.
The best way to contain a offshore well blow out is with fire booms, after that, there is no effective defense. How do I know, I read the government report that was put into action right after the 1989 Exxon Valdez debacle.
So all the government can do is carp on BP, now that they have shirked their responsibility.

I was struck by that, too, and was going to comment on it but I see that you’ve beat me to it. Shirly Temple is a darling. The young actress Brandy is a darling. Calling Palin a “right wing darling” is clearly an attempt to diminish or minimalize her leadership skills and power, to put her on a level with the girls (and even the pets!) that have captured our hearts with their American sweetness.
The Sarahcuda is no darling.

Godspeed & Thank You Sarah Palin..
in case no one has been listening, they’ve been
trying to portray dissenters as being “childish”..
par their course, that’s exactly how they come across
via whinging about every little thing the op utters..
calling US terrorists didn’t work,
treating US like children won’t work..
blaming George Bush for everything since time
began didn’t work & it won’t come November!!

I can see the eyes rolling up into the heads of the nation’s liberals. They still suffer from Palin Derangement Syndrome. It’s a disease.
so cal chick commented:
Little ‘ol Sarah Palin of Wasilla took on the oil companies and the corrupt politicians for good people of the great state of Alaska and she won.
Imagine taking on the good ‘ol boy network and winning!
Not even full on, hate filled, liberal jihad against this courageous American woman can keep her down.
She’s a hero and knows what the hell she’s talking about.
Obama looks like a complete lightweight as usual.
Jim Palmer commented:
Two words. Awesome! (hey if Biden can say that sort of thing so can I).

During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.
