Horrible… Obama Administration Lied About Oil Spill Cleanup Efforts
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, July 2, 2010, 11:51 AM
It’s Day 73 of the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster–
There is now clear evidence that the negligence by the Obama Administration caused the destruction of the Gulf coastline.
** The feds only accepted assistance from 5 of 28 countries.
** It took the Obama Administration 53 days to accept help from the Dutch and British.
** It took them 58 days to mobilize the US military to the Gulf.
** The feds shut down crude-sucking barges due to fire extinguisher concerns.
** The Obama Administration ignore oil boom manufacturers that have miles of product stockpiled in their warehouses.
** They only have moved 31 of 2,000 oil skimmers to the disaster area off of Florida.
** Florida hired an additional 5 skimmer boats to operate off its coast due to federal inaction.
** There are no skimmer boats off the coast of Mississippi.
** The massive A-Boat skimmer won’t be allowed to join the cleanup effort until the Coast Guard and the EPA figure out whether it meets their standards.
** The feds shut down sand berm dredging off the Louisiana coast.
** The president continues to hit the golf course, ball games, hold BBQ’s and party while the crude oil washes up on shore.
Here’s a time-lapse look at the oil spill disaster from space:
Now there’s this… Obama Administration lied about cleanup efforts of Gulf oil spill.
CNS News reported:
Billy Nungesser, president of New Orleans’ Plaquemines Parish, sensed that a chart showing 140 oil skimmers at work — a chart given to him by BP and the Coast Guard — was “somewhat inaccurate.” So, Nungesser asked to fly over the spill to verify the number.
The flyover was cancelled three times before those officials admitted that just 31 of the 140 skimmers were actually deployed.
The incident is detailed in a report released Thursday by Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Republicans say the report provides evidence that the Obama administration misrepresented the assets devoted to the cleanup, misrepresented the timing of when government officials knew there was an oil spill and misrepresented the level of control the government had over the matter. It also claims the Obama administration seemed more interested in public relations than cleaning the mess and plugging the hole.
The report, which relies on interviews with several local officials in Louisiana, goes on to quote Nungesser, who had been on local and national television enough so that the White House became concerned. Two White House officials visited him on Father’s Day and said, “What do we have to do to keep you off TV?” His answer was, “Give me what I need.”

I agree with impeachment. This president and his goonsquad administration, coupled with the dem congress are destroying our country.

There is no way that this House will bring charges against 0bama and there is no way that the next Senate will convict. He’s black and a democrat, they have no ethics.
Steve McDuffy commented:
Lil’ Barry, the Last Oilbender, is using the oil to affect the Cloward-Piven strategy to bring down America, i.e., to get even with those who have unfairly taken advantage of others to get ahead. They finally found his birth certificate in Mombasa, Kenya and his name is actually spelled OILBAMA.
listingstarboard commented:
This is the length to which Obama and those politicians that stand to make millions on Cap and Trade will go to get that American killing bill passed. It is all about Cap and Trade.
CrankyOldLady commented:
Obama is an enemy saboteur. His malfeasance is outright war on America. The New Congress in January 2011 must impeach him and his loyalists. Then the entire snake-pit of “leaders” should be prosecuted for treason, found guilty, and hanged by the neck until dead.
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
So not only is this the “Hope and Change” administration, we can also add that it’s the “Lie Until You Get Caught” administration.

Sojourner commented:
this is so tragic.. it’s Day 73.. 3 coastal states continue to be punished for not voting for oILbama while he systematically strangles our Gulf with gross incompetence and agenda motivated negligence…. all this, while he fights the battle of public relations instead of waging war on the oil spill & the msm keeps the lid shut tight on the story.. {SOP..witness, AZ..’the border is quite secure, thank you.’}
What on earth does oBama have to do before SOMEONE steps up & challenges him on it???
Opus #6 commented:
Obama lies about cleaning up the oil.
Obama lies about the Arizona border. “Oh, it’s safe” as shots come flying over the border.
Obama lies about Deathcare.
Obama lies.

Good for Nungesser! If the press could follow his example…

Mark1957 commented:
The people must demand some answers;
Who authorized the falsifying of the report?
What are the names of the White House officials that came to Billy Nungesser’s home?
Is this the reason that air space over the spill is closed off without permission?

BarbaraS commented:
I have a problem with WH officials coming to
Nungessor’s house to tell him to shut up. They evidently tried to intimidate him but he wasn’t intimidatible. They really had a lot of nerve but have you noticed that in this WH everybody has a lot of nerve?
Obama is following in the footsteps of Chavez. He is doing the same things Chavez did. It is slower because we are a bigger country and liberty is deeper entrenched than the basically new liberty Venzuala had. But if you look at everything Obama has done he is following the path of communism. He is not into socialism as so many think. He is into communism. His best buddies are communists: Chavez, Ortega, Castro and he is buddying up to Putin or at least trying to. Putin has nothing but comtempt for him all the while using him for his own purposes. Obama is too stupid to realize this.
BarbaraS commented:
Also, let’s not forget his cabinet and his czars are for the most part communists or maybe even all communists. So many of them have been outed there is no doubt of their affiliation.
Just_Saying commented:
I agree wholeheartedly, BarbaraS #27. Federal government workers are getting too powerful (and, sure of themselves)! Somehow, they’ve gotta be reined in…

Trufflepig commented:
This news story won’t be discussed, won’t be picked up, and won’t be made generally available because the media will bury it. Obama is negligent to the point of criminality, but the media forces are there to protect him. Were this Bush, the liberals would be threatening to turn downtown Washington D.C. into a war zone with pitchforks and torches, calling for impeachment at the least and a good old lynching as the more likely. Obama has to go… far far away, never to be heard or or seen again. Such obtuse ideologues have no place in America.
Robert commented:
House Democrats have kept Republicans from visiting the Gulf, refusing to authorize trips. Although Republican representatives could go on their own, the visits would not be official and access and cooperation could therefore be denied.

With all due respect, Ma’am,
Obama is not ‘…too stupid to realize this.’, he welcomes it.
If Putin, or Chavez, or Ortega, or any other commie-rat dictator large or small were to gain power of any sort, let alone total power, over how America is run, Obama would welcome it as ‘better’ than any sort of rule/government which would include Americans.

Thank God there is still an open media. Can you imagine what the message would be if they could control it?

He is not into socialism as so many think. He is into communism.
From where the peasants sit, socialism, communism and fascism all look the same.

Obama for offshore drilling in Brazil
This is a perfect example why many refrain from watching the news on ABC, NBC, CBS, or MSNBC.
Today on a segment of the “Glen Beck Show” on FOX (Fox Cable News) was the following:
“Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here’s the real clincher…the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil.
Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was one of President Obama’s most generous financial supporter during his campaign.
Sandy commented:
This is not incompetence because even a broken clock is right twice a day. Its hard to come to terms with the fact that this is all being done on purpose but everyday in every way he takes more of our freedom and our way of life.
Today Harry Reid said he will make sure this Amnesty Bill is passed this year. Even though there is no interest in passing this I wonder how long and what it will take to get enough Senators on board. They can’t beat Republicans with American voters so its necessary to add the votes of Illegals to win an election. Oh for the day that we can laugh at all this.
Sandy commented:
Sojourner — No one will call Obama out because the Republicans have no power. But after the election it will be a different story. Issa is already saying he is going to investigate Obama 24/7 and will need 80 aides to do it.
Steve McDuffy commented:
This is Lil’ Barry, the Last Oilbender at work. He was trained in his madrassa days in Indonesia at how to use oil to destroy Christendom. He is using sleight of hand to increase the oil in the Gulf of Mexico, preventing others from seeing this until it is too late — it washes upon the shores of red states and punishes them for not recognizing him as Oilbender and Messiah (The one Annointed with Oil). He’ll not stop until we all bow down to him and sing him a new song, “Oh, Oilbama!”
Nahanni commented:
Anything that hastens the destruction of this country and it’s people is “job one” for the Obamao regime and the Corruptocrat party.
aprilnovember811 commented:
His speech on illegal immigration revealed the reason for his inaction. “We are not Americans by blood, or birth.” Now, I wonder why he would say that? This usurper President is shouting at the authorities in this country, that he is not a natural born citizen. The Kenyan birth certificate is in the hands of the courts, retrieved from Kenya. It’s only a matter of someone taking the destruction this man is doing seriously, and stopping him. Why isn’t it being done. Please someone, CIA, FBI, military, if there are any patriots in these organizations, you must help stop this. We are dealing with the enemy within. You wouldn’t allow it from Ted Bundy, Hitler, Stalin, Joran Vandersloot, and it shouldn’t be allowed by the Kenyan born, Indonesian citizen, Barack Hussein Obama. These people are cut from the same cloth. They are all psychopaths. I know you don’t want to admit it, but any sane person can see he is not right, mentally. We are all victims. Stop him!
JUST LIKE THE BUDGET THAT THEY DEEMED PASSED YESTERDAY, THAT DOESN’T EXIST. THEY DEEMED HIM ELIGIBLE. HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED. DOES HE HAVE TO MURDER PEOPLE, LIKE ONE OF HIS IDLE’S MAO?
aprilnovember811 commented:
“Being an American is not a matter of blood, or birth?” This is why the lack of response, no loyalty or love for this country.

Why do I picture Obama with a monacle and a bald cat?
Debbie S commented:
It’s obvious the Obama regime allowed the oil spill to spread unchecked in order to create a massive disaster and push for Cap and Trade (never let a crisis go to waste). Does anyone else think the Obama regime planned the explosion? (Much like the planned stock market crisis in Sept. 2008)

Come on folks… is everyone so oblivious to the fact that its the administration doing this not the man with big ears? Fer Kries sake, the guy gets into office after 10 years of search and destroy operations tactically dismantling every branch of government… and you expect him to fix everything by hisself?… where were you when BushCo restaffed every agency in government with morons like Brownie and Tommie Thompson… replacing judges and prosecuters, replacing NASA scientists with lobbyists and bureaucrats with cronies… on a scale not seen in generations… It was the smartest move he could do to keep the toxic Generals rather than changing up… cept he underestimates how low these scumdogs will go to own the world…
Melissa commented:
Americans its time for us to stand and voice we are tired of all this bull. Our elected President which I am PROUD to say I DIDN’T vote for. Can’t see what his wife would be so proud of with a husband a President of the USA wouldn’t even come back to Washington when there was a terrious attack. To the Democrats I hate to say it, But its time for you to go. This world is going to hell in a hand bag, and it time we speak up and make sure we are heard. Stop taking our money, stop giving it to others that aren”t even trying to help themself. And by dang help our elderly don’t denie them healthcare that they need. I feel for my children and grandchildren if we don’t put our foot down now. Change is NOT always good when it is good for the wrong people and reason.
