What's even more sickening is knowing Obama has done pretty-much nothing
about it other than waste even more taxpayer money by flying down there 3 or
4 times to do little more than pose for photo-ops. He's *SUPPOSED* to be
the most powerful individual in the world, and yet he can get nothing
significant done about this? My guess is that it'll cost (U.S.) taxpayers
another 500 billion - Trillion to fix it properly, and since he's already
spent multiple TRILLIONS in his short time in office, (Unemployment's still
hovering around 10% BTW) he's afraid to spend anything more. He's too
stupid to understand that people would actually get BEHIND any effort to
clean up that mess even if we have to spend more money we (U.S.) don't have.
He wasted all that time and money getting health care reform passed
(something the people clearly did NOT want by ALL polls) but has his head up
his ass on something we ALL want, in stopping the leak and cleaning the
mess. He's an idiot through and through. And judging by his approval
rating via the RCP, people are starting to realize it. Finally. He's at
+/- 0 right now, and I predict he'll sink from there. This guy is the
biggest disaster of a U.S. President since Carter. What's frightening is
.... By the time he's gone he may even prove-out to be *worse* than Carter
<shudders>. THAT's when you'll hear all the liberal conspiracy nut-jobs
come up with the "theory" that he was "set-up to fail" by the Bush
administration because he's black. Or some other such nonsense.
