OBAMA ELOQUENTLY TIES THE BP NOOSE AROUND HIS POLITICAL NECK

     I am shocked that Obama seems entirely clueless as to what is going on in the Gulf and the real world.  He doesn't have to be a hysteric and it is clear that he has consciously avoided projecting an angry image.  Obama rightly fears that he would be more vulnerable to racist attacks from the cracker majority if he was openly angry.  Yet his utter tranquility seems almost totally disconnected from this unprecedented catastrophe caused by Big Oil.
Obama finally tells us, six weeks into a catastrophe that is arguably worse than 9-11, that this is his top priority.  It seems to me that Obama has been asleep at the wheel, hoping this thing would go away.  He was forced to have a press conference and stop hiding!
     Nor has Obama criticized his own "drill baby drill" comments made shortly before the catastrophe.  Indeed he denies making such statements later in this brief public relations ploy, cast as a "news conference".  Obama sees no crime against nature or humanity, only a bill to be purportedly paid by BP.  Yet even his comments leave open the question as to what BP will actually be held responsible for this.  Two way Obama, "maybe you could believe this"  "maybe you could believe that".
     Yet it seems to me that it was and is Obama who supports the policy of offshore drilling and no barrier island is going to do anything significant if any one of the thousands of Gulf oil wells
starts spewing oil as we see today.  Obama has been obsessing about saving his Wall Street buddies, keeping Israel happy and
desperately trying to maintain American power in a world of nations that are no longer dominated by the United States the way they used to be.  Of course the United States is orchestrating a war or something close to it on North Korea  but that must be sixth or seventh on his list?
 Obama has made the invasion of Afghanistan "Obama's War" and been preparing a great slaughter for Kandahar.  Obama has lots of top priorities, but it is impossible to believe that stopping big oil from running the world is one of them.  Obama is run by big oil.
    Helen Thomas challenged his BS war in Afghanistan and his answer, is as usual, something of a filibuster.  Thomas asked him not to respond in Bushisms, but he does!  He cannot and does not talk about when the United States will get out of Afghanistan but refers to his faith in  McGeneral McChrystal running the current sequence of massacres.

The fact is that the destruction of the Gulf seems to him, a matter of "business as usual".  He hopes for a post facto technical fix, he is a technocrat.  He alleges he  is upset and yet his response is laid back and relaxed.  Let's talk about bureaucratic mumbo jumbo and blame the government.   He is blaming MMS.  This man behaves like an oilman who wants to improve the oil drilling operations in the Gulf.
    Obama is unable to even pretend to care.  Bush did that act.  He got a damn bull horn and posed as a leader.  It struck a chord with the people however cynical it may have been but Obama seems to lack appropriate emotional connections to the public.
     We have been attacked by our own oil addiction and Obama talks about a few miles or less of booms.  Booms!  Then he gives a speech about getting some really "good stuff", as if the Gulf will not be dead...he ignores that completely.  Global warming isn't mentioned even though Obama claims to want alternative energy sources, "big nuclear?".
     I think Obama's low key, low profile response to this oil catastrophe suggests that he has agreed not to run for office in 2012 but to give Hillary a turn.  When it comes to the destruction of our natural world the Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same. 
     Now Obama, after saying he is on top of everything, that he doesn't know about the supposed resignation of a top MMS official.  Obama claimed to have cleaned up MMS but then says it really didn't work or something.  He talks about  changing the corporate culture of MMS.
   Obama asserts that he didn't  say "drill baby drill", but he did say things darn close to that phrase.  He is a liar and anyone who denies his pandering to the "drill baby drill" Republicans is a fraud and a liar or terribly ignorant at best.
   Obama tells us that he doesn't endorse the boycott of Arizona.  Like almost all elected officials he will never stand with the people because he is of the ruling class, another subservient wunderkind.  Bought and sold Obama is a good investment for them!
     This isolated press conference has now drifted to other issues Obama has left unaddressed.  For the "last question" one journalist gets in two questions.  "Is your boot on the neck of BP?" is the main question.  Obama is careful to point out that this term, "boot on the neck of BP" is just a metaphor and he passes the buck to Ken Salazar.  Ken said it, not me, Obama reassures big oil and other major investors in him.  Bought and sold Obama speaks.

OBAMA'S DRILL, DRILL, DRILL STRATEGY BEARS FRUIT

   No sooner had President Barrack "talks a lot" Obama declared that he too wanted to drill a lot more offshore oil wells than the BP disaster began.  The blow-out killed, murdered really eleven men and BP milked the hope they were alive as long as possible to distract from this unprecedented capitalism made ecological catastrophe.


   It was a blessing really, that Obama's reactionary and stupid energy policy blew up in his face.  On the other hand it seems that Haliburton did the actual last minute very dangerous and negligent things that made the oil well blow up.  Was the sequence of Haliburton executed actions merely crimnally negligent, just the result of BP, Haliburton and other profiteers in the Gulf trying to gulp down their big bucks so quickly that they started to choke on them?  Or did Dick Cheney tell his Buds in Haliburton to create an oil spill so that Obama would have a "New Orleans"-like political catastrophe?  Given  the negligence hours before the oil well blowout we have to wonder if the dangerous manuevers with the well were ordered by an evil sorcerer and real world conspirator, Dick Cheney.


  Obama is obviously trying to distance himself from his own pro oil comments and now says he wants to play the regulation game, if only the Republicans will let him.  I don't know if he really wants regulation or not but he sure was not proactive before the disaster in cleaning up any regulatory agency, as far as I know.  He is also pretending he has nothing to do with the oil spill, much as  Bush pretended that New Orleans was not a matter for federal concern until he was forced to do something by the popular uproar.


   Obama should not be able to distance himself from his own  words in this matter.  This is the policy he endorsed and he should be scrutinized and critisized for it.

HOW MANY WARS WILL OBAMA BE FOR TONIGHT?

Obama came to power on the backs of the progressive people of the United States and especially those against the wars in Iraq and Iran.  Yet we all know that Obama has started wars rather than ended them and even the pitiful nothing of shutting down one of many American torture centers was too much for this shameless panderer to the progressive struggles we all support, everyone but Obama that is.


So, NPR is promoting the opportunity for a war on Iran, a more open and destructive war.  Is that Obama's line?  We wait in terror as we wonder which nation will be destroyed next.
