Shameless… Obama Takes Swipe At Sarah Palin During Oil Spill Disaster Press Conference (Video)

A National Disaster Is Just Another Excuse For Obama to Play Politics–
Shameless after weeks of golfing, photo ops and vacationing, Barack Obama took a “drill, baby drill“ swipe at Sarah Palin during his press conference today on the mismanaged Gulf oil spill disaster.
Obama’s energy plan involves expensive wind turbines and solar panels that will force electricity rates to necessarily skyrocket and would kill the coal industry.
“The fact that oil companies now have to go a mile under water and then drill another three miles below that in order to hit oil tells us something about the direction of the oil industry. Extraction is more expensive and it is going to be inherently more risky. And so that’s part of the reason you never heard me say, ‘Drill, baby, drill!’

The one person Obama fears enough to attack from the safety of his bully pulpit is an American mother who doesn’t even hold public office.
The leaders of tyrannical governments like Iran, and Korea never merit his attention.
He’s a sissy, a coward, and a bully, and Sarah Palin is more than a match for him. No wonder this pathetic worm is afraid of her.

No wonder he hardly ever does true press conferenes. January 2013 can’t come soon enough. I can;t take any more of this Clown College!

Yes, it tells us that the federal government keeps pushing them away from more easily attainable resources.

This is fast evolving from Obama’s Katrina into Obama’s Chernobyl.

Scott,
You are a very smart man….I was going to say that.
The cynic in me also thinks that they are happy this happen. I may give them the benefit of the doubt they didn’t think it would be this bad.
Obama’s statements today reminded me of the testimony of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. He says that Federal Government was directing BP at every step but the BP has messed everything up.
NC Cop commented:
Why shouldn’t he blame BP all the way? The media will allow him to get away with that and much worse.
All in a days work when you’ve got the media in your back pocket.

Once again…we’re just a bunch of Yah hooz.
And the enviro-wackos have nothing.. NOTHING to do with forcing these regulations on the oil Ind. to drill out farther and deeper.
Yup…uh huh.. just a fly over yah hooo…

“…..you never heard me say, Drill, baby, drill !”
I also never heard him say “God Bless America” either.
I’d have added a colorful personal descriptive at the end, but this is mixed company and kids might read the site as well.

High-level domestic terrorism suspect.
NeoKong commented:
That was completely 100% false.
All the easily accessible oil is off limits and is waiting to be sucked out of the ground.
Oops….I forgot that here is where I learned that.
My bad.

Nice try Bambi….you pathetic loser.

Back in the 1970s, the alarmists warned that we would run out of oil by the turn of the millenium. They were wrong because they failed to take into account developing technology which permitted the discovery of unknown oil fields and a return to wells once abandoned as dry.
Obama makes the same misatake by basing a judgement on current oil extraction technology, and yet, he believes that solar and wind technology will carry the day even though those technologies have far to go. What seems to be a disconnect is, in realtiy, not. It’s explained by a consistent ideological approach from a president who claimed that he was no ideologue.

Sarah Palin is more man than the girlyman obama will ever be.
At least one thing obama can take credit for is making the US military a “gay” military. I guess this will be the end of the finest military the world has ever known. We will be just like one of the rest of “gay” militarys in the world, insignificant.
Obama is always blaming someone else, I change the channel everytime he talks. He never said “drill baby drill” because he can’t make the tough decisions to save America. But to destroy the US military he can make those decisions quickly.

The Bammster wants what is happening . . .
You cannot undo America like Lenin did Russia (not yet, anyway), so his doing a Chavez (banks, car companies, demonizing oil) . . .
Has its purpose.
History is repeating itself.
Aussie commented:
First of all, BP is in fact to blame for the oil well explosion. One report that I read, in relation to the Coast Guard inquiry, indicates that there was disagreement between the management of the rig and BP in regard to a request made by the BP management. What BP demanded was a procedure that was bound to have consequences – the use of saltwater in the tube. What took place was the rising oil and gas bubble that exploded. At least one of the men killed was totally against what BP demanded that they do in relation to attempting to shut down the hole in the first place.
However, with regard to the situation after the explosion, the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of an inexperienced POS who is the POTUS. This man took no action when the disaster first took place. He did not make sure that the booms were sent to LA – instead he hid the fact that the Feds had the booms in the first place. From there it gets worse. The Corps of Engineers has been holding up the procedure for the sand booms because they claim they need to do an Environmental impact study…. this is utter garbage…. then the fishermen who are waiting to be deployed to put the booms in place have to undergo drug tests!!
It shows that the White House Regime want a disaster of monumental proportions.
This has to backfire…. if the people of the USA do not catch on that the POS in the White House has been doing nothing… and like Nero he has been fiddling… then they deserve everything that happens.!!! I hope that I am wrong and that more and more people will wake up and realize what is really happening.
