Thread Name: BS: Spill, Baby, Spill... (Palin & oil spills)
Subject: RE: BS: Spill, Baby, Spill... (Palin & oil spills)
Thank you, SRS... That was my original intent here in starting this thread... Here we had all these eager little Tea Baggers attending the Palin rallies screaming "Drill, Baby, Drill" as if it was the Holy Grail/paneca for all that ails America???

I mean, how friggin' stupid... No, Obama didn't run on drilling and has only somewhat reluctantly offered it as a possibility to move the Repubs toward a rwal energy policy... But Obama knows very well that all of the off shore oil will only meet about 2% of the demand...

Yet, because we have all these Tea Baggers screaming "Drill, Baby, Drill" and we have the Dick Cheney's of the world screaming the same thing (but for different reasons), hey, part of what Obama promised to do in tamping down the screamers and raw partisanship he has found himself in a bad way... Best of intentions... Lousy timing...

Face it, Obama oughtta just tell the right wing to go fuck themsleves and quit trying to be a uniter prersident... Uniter presidents are no longer possible... The right wing media giants, including Rupert Mrurdock, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh are going to see to it that there will be no uniter presdients...

So now Obama is stuck...

But at least his administartion has been on top of the spill since Day One but now, I guess, the Tea Baggers will blame Obama for the oil spill???
