Jewish World Review May 24, 2010 / 11 Sivan 5770 Obama pointing fingers, while leaking waivers to Big Oil By Dave Weinbaum
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Every Chicago politician knows you don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The problem is how to appear to slap around a client who has stepped so far
out of line that he makes you appear to be responsible for the disaster du jour.
This balancing act takes years of training, organizing and the ability to bury long-
term friends and family under busses when they become liabilities. Reverend
Wright just gave a "Hallelujah!" to that in a letter to black institutions confirming
Obama's shove down under. It must have been pretty crowded under that
Greyhound with Farrakhan, Coakley, Specter, Corzine, Lincoln , Grandma and
now the entire state of Arizona between the axles.
Never point a finger at those who butter your bread
According to The Center for Responsive Politics, British Petroleum execs and
employees gave $71,000 to presidential candidate Barack Obama, their highest
contribution to any candidate during the 2008 cycle.
Since the BP well explosion, the president and his administration have granted
at least 27 separate environmental study waivers to potential drillers,
including BP. These gifts came after President Obama vowed a "…relentless
response to stop the leak" and prevent more damage to the gulf. The President
assailed the "…ridiculous spectacle" of oil executives blaming each other. He
denounced a "…cozy relationship" the oil companies had with the federal
government.
Imagine that! Barack Obama blaming someone else for blaming someone else.
Where have I heard that kind of thing before?
Obama's EPA publicly ignored the disaster for its first ten days. Guess they
thought the President was referring to another golf match, not the match that
could light up the entire gulf.
For the record, the administration has taken umbrage at any connection to
waivers and BP donation(s). However, as of today I'm unaware that any of the
71 large has been returned.
When your world is full of potholes start a cement
company
Well at least the President has come up with the beginnings of a good solution.
He's appointed yet another CYA (cover your arse) commission to pass the
buck upon.
The only thing transparent about this president is his corruption.
This isn't just a right-wing attack on Obama. The Socialists smell oil in the
water and are racing in for the kill. They want to devour big oil and the evil
profit they take away from their off-shore drilling rigs at the expense of making
us more dependent on terrorist benefitting oil.
Left-wing bloggers are comparing Obama's gulf leak to Bush's Katrina.
I'm waiting for Farrakhan to claim the righties came and bombed the rig,
unplugging the well, just to destroy the presidency of his personal "selection,"
Barack Hussein Obama. Or he could claim that Limbaugh was behind it
because he was allergic to the "colorful" fish spotted in the Gulf.
Heck, even Mr. Sweetness and Light--a leg-tingled Chris Matthews--wants the
oil executives executed!
I grew up on a rattlesnake ranch. I was an only child---
eventually.
Back on the good ole' South Side of Chicago, they had a way of taking care of
friends who got too arrogant and/or cozy, lest they blow the cover of the
bosses. They'd fit them with large cement booties and send them to the bottom
of the Chicago River or Lake Michigan .
Hey, if used right this could solve everyone's problems, both scientific and rat
extermination. They could even do a study:
How many cement booted oil executives does it take to stop a major sea
oil leak?
If they're one or two short, they can always try to recruit Glenn Beck or Sean
Hannity or other daily acidic irritants.
Finally, a warning to Ex-Governor Blagojevich: Be wary of any cement truck
following you around--in or out of prison.
