Again, good point from him. And he is far from a liberal. More of a centrist.

I don’t care if the guy is to the right of Attila the Hun. He doesn’t make any good points at all.
this head fake about Obama not being angry is nonsense.
the issue is Obama appearing to be doing nothing. And it isn’t about capping the well.
It is about not waiving the Jones act in the first week or two. instead he tosses a sop to the unions that he will die for.
It is about him not putting all the
available cleanup technology on a fast track to approval to get that stuff active in the region.
It is about him not speeding up the process to give the governors what they want to protect the marshes.
The issue is inaction. It is about what Obama can do but is not doing. Obama doesn’t just appear to be doing nothing. The fact is, there are a lot of things he can do that he has not done. THAT is the issue.
We all get that Obama cannot cap that blow out. but that is not the issue here. Although I would argue that there has not been a serious effort to source other companies for experts that might be better equipped to deal with this.
We also know that Obama has turned primarily to Academics instead of industry experts with field experience. Why?
Dude the point is pathetic. And weak. If the issue being discussed is Obama’s lack of attitude it is only a result of the fact that there simply has been far too little action.
