I Appreciate Straight Talk

Yeah, I do, and that’s why you’ll occasionally catch me posting an article from Red State, like this one.

It is becoming increasingly clear that neither Obama nor his administration nor the Democrat Congress are up to the task of governance. Yesterday we chronicled the shouting match between former MMS director Liz Birnbaum and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar that resulted in her being fired shortly before she was scheduled to testify before a Congressional subcommittee headed by the corrupt Jim Moran on the lackadaisical efforts of the administration to ameliorate the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The ineffectualness of the administration was on display for all to see this week. Over a month after the spill began, Obama was able to take time away from his busy schedule of back to back vacations to visit the Gulf. He was there for about three hours — which would equate to about nine holes of golf — gave an insipid speech and left. And then there was this:

Perhaps you saw news footage of President Obama in Grand Isle, La., on Friday and thought things didn’t look all that bad. Well, there may have been a reason for that: The town was evidently swarmed by an army of temp workers to spruce it up for the president and the national news crews following him.

Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, whose district encompasses Grand Isle, told Yahoo! News that BP bused in “hundreds” of temporary workers to clean up local beaches. And as soon as the president was en route back to Washington, the workers were clearing out of Grand Isle too, Roberts said.

If there was ever an appropriate metaphor for Obama’s total absence of leadership or even interest the Gulf oil spill is it. It has demonstrated both the administration’s general lack of concern about anything other than imposing a socialist agenda upon an unwilling nation and the inability of the administration to address any crisis without seeking to further its political aims.

Hopefully, November will see at least the House of Representatives freed from the thrall of these cretins and an effective regime of oversight can be imposed upon federal agencies saturated with political operatives and activists who could care less about their duty or the nation.

All I can say to that is… Amen!

    They got that right! It’s no wonder these people are into left wing politics. They don’t have to make any sense to appeal to the liberal voting base or the mainstream media, and no matter how much they screw up, they’re like a protected species.

    C’mon, November! Let’s see some real change!

    Straight talk!

    C’mon, now, Obama’s only been in office for 15 months, and since he got there he’s had to deal with a major recession, two wars he inherited from the Shrub, the flooding in Tennessee and the oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

    All you right wingers complained for eight years about the Democrats and the media not letting up on Bush, and here you are attacking Obama over every thing he does, from the second he gets up in the morning until he goes to sleep at night. :-(

    Thibojeaux,

    We (not we, personally) definitely blundered by letting these people take over the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches, that’s for sure.

    We’d've done better recruiting from a kindergarten class. :-)

    Simeon,

    C’mon, guy!

    Try and look at the Obama Administration objectively. Look at these problems you cite, and don’t forget terrorism, then look at their solutions.

    Simeon,

    To go further.

    Here is a column by Michelle Malkin that pretty well sums up my, and other conservatives’, reasons as Americans for condemning the “progressive” controlled Democratic Party and what it’s turning our government into.

    Read and enjoy. :-)
