More bad news for President Disaster.
71% of voters say the government’s (mis)handling of the Gulf oil spill is important to how they will vote in this year’s midterm elections.
Rasmussen reported:
Seventy-one percent (71%) of U.S. Voters rate the government’s response to the Gulf oil leak as at least somewhat important in terms of how they will vote in November, with 35% who say it is Very Important.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 27% of Likely Voters say the government’s response is not very or not at all important to their upcoming vote.
The Obama administration has come under increasing criticism for its response to the two-month-old – and continuing – oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, which President Obama has labeled the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

Well I must be one of the 27% – because it’s not important to my vote AT ALL!
My vote was solidified back in Jan. of 2009!

This mis-Government is reason enough for voting in later this year.
Zero & Co. flubs are reason enough to impeach him when the Elephants start dancing next January.
Paul_______ commented:
On one hand, we want the government to stay away from our lives and on the other hand, we want it to “rescue, save and protect us.”
There are some situations where a national disaster requires government intervention.
9/11, Katrina and the oil spill are examples of national disasters because they affect millions of people. And people expect THEIR government to respond appropriately.
But since these same people voted for an alien, Communist government who cares only about overthrowing the Constitution, I don’t see the point of blaming it for ignoring the disaster and consequently the American people.
My point is: You get the government you deserve.

The Chicago Mafia handled the leakers yesterday. When Amoco was based in Chicago, they dealt with the mob. BP bought Amoco and retired most of them.
Militant Conservative commented:
WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY. I don’t care what party you affilliate with but our country comes BEFORE politics. This smarmy bast3rd is playing politics with OUR HOMES, LIVES, LIVELYHOODS and our COUNTRY.
This will not do. WHEN the dust settles after November and the Republican party is installed in January the first agenda is to impeach Obama. He has crapped on the constitution for the last time.
powder is dry.

This post illustrates something.
All the bullship on the MFM can no longer sway normal tax paying Conservative Americans.
We aren’t buying this BP is SATAN nonsense.
There was an accident. The accident was magnified by LIBERAL GOVT POLICY that forced the oil rigs 40 miles out and a mile deep.
As usual unintended consequences of LIBTARD social engineering. We put ourselves and BP into a very precarious position.
And an accident happened. And Obama is not a capable man. It could be mitigated if Obama had competent staff. He doesn’t. He’s got a Physicist who wants us to paint our roofs white in charge of this.
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

Fortunately for Oilbama, the sheeple have short memories and Nov 2012 is two and half years away.

It should be noted that the first thing Obama did
was respond to and regurgitate emotionalism.

I don’t believe the Gulf disaster was an accident. Would this have anything to do with it. Was it one of ours, or was it an enemy?

Just_Saying commented:
I can’t bear to listen to Obummer, but sometimes his voice comes over the radio. Does it bug anyone else how Obummer pronounces ensure (“en-shore”), and how Mrs. Obummer pronounces strong (“schtrong”)?
I really detest them both, I’ll admit it.

aprilnovember811 – #19 – from all I’ve seen – it does NOT sound like the Deepwater Horizon was a victim of a submarine attack.
Betsy Ross commented:
Gee, maybe barry should have went to the gulf and sucked up the oil with a straw after all, instead of sucking up a bushwacker with straw…
maybe then his poll numbers would be better ; )
Sen. Fuller Bull - D commented:
“When you gonna plug that hole, Daddy?”
“When I get that new putter for Father’s Day, sweetie.”
Russ Weiss commented:
“Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Americans agree that the oil companies involved with the Gulf leak should be required to pay back everyone who lost income because of the oil spill, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 17% disagree, and 14% more are not sure.”
Since some Republicans are busy apologizing to BP, why didn’t you report that portion of the poll? CNN has it at 82%.
