Oil Board Director Co-Chairs Oil Spill Oversight

Comments

Darn that Obama heeding calls for a bipartisan co-chairmanship. On the Dem side the chair is Bob Graham.

I'm shocked.

Well, not really.

IMHO Obama's REALLY got to watch it, or he is going to end up identified in the public's mind with this event's repeated ongoing failures / disasters. And don't think the opposition isn't already working hard to make this association.

@3, spot on. People want him to be either the savior or the goat on this, but he has too much to do to afford getting pegged with either role.

Why are you guys so shocked every time our Right-of-Center President Obama does something that is right of center?

Didn't you clue in to who he was in the Primary?

Cheney's oil spill.

Maybe Cheney would come back to head the investigation.

Stop the leak.
There will be plenty of time later for prosecutions.
Stop. The. Godam. Leak.

(ps, holding up drilling while deciding if a crime was committed is assinine , the two are not related)

@5

Right of center is total bullshit. A right a center President wouldn't be doing half the shit Obama is doing.

He certainly isn't super Liberal in his actions, but that doesn't mean the next level is "right of center."

Is there anything Obama cannot fuck up? The guy has to sell out the US to corporate interests whenever he can.

Obama has no one in his administration who knows anything useful about the energy industry but he has plenty of asshole lawyers who can sure sue the fuck out of you.....
