No, BP is. By having hundreds of safety violations. By skimping on safety equipment. By having a spill plan that has dead expert contacts, also how to save walruses that have not lived in the gulf for 3 million years.

Last but not least by down playing the spill.

Could it also be that President Obama, being the devout marxist, government-first liberal that he is, wants all new jobs to be government jobsmaking people reliant on him and fattening up the Gov.'t employees unions' coffer to boot?
That, or he just isn't doing what he should because he doesn't like self-sufficient minded people who want to work for a living and support themselves and their families!!

Never let a good disaster go to waste.

This will be used as an excuse to nationalize the oil industry and failing that implement new taxes and regulations bringing us one step closer to having publicly owned rigs.

And of course anyone made unemployed goes on the public dole and can be easily manipulated for votes.

I don't think Obama had any hand in causing this but I'm definitely starting to suspect that their lackadaisical response is more than simple incompetence (although that is present in large quantities as well).

“President Obama doesn't seem like the president of all people…just some of them”.

Are you joking Melissa? Obama is the president of no one! Everyone is and will continue to suffer under this “voter caused disaster”. I believe no president could fail the Almerican people on every single issue unless there is malicious intent. He came into office with a To Do List of Progressive items and he is doing his damndest to check off each item before the people stop him. He cares about no one! He only cares about the list! The fact that history has already invalidated these Progressive programs is meaningless to the man. He will continue to plow ahead, aided and abetted by the amoral and unethical democrats in congress, regardless of the destructive consequences!

Voters have one chance to save the Republic, by voting democrats out of office in record numbers in November. If they fail to do so we can kiss goodbye the country we love and which has been the greatest cause of good in the world over the last 230 years!

Of course he's trying to destroy the Gulf state economies, and for good reasons. Millions of people will become dependent on the government for survival, and most of them will reliably vote against the eeevil right-wingers who want to take their government checks away and let them starve. Moreover, he hopes to use the ecological disaster to destroy the oil industry in the entire country, crushing the economy as a whole and turning us into the largest third-world one-party banana republic on Earth.
