Did the tree-huggers give Obama a pass on the Gulf oil spill?

People did protest but there was a massive media blackout on the subject. How stupid of people to care about our backyard being poisoned by black gold.

I don't want tree huggers playing with my steel mill

If they didn't you can bet your sweet bippy he took one.

The good old tree huggers proved they are just political puppets after all.. so much for how much they actually care about the environment.!

Environmentalists are the worst thing that ever happened to the envronment.

Eco-idiots are nothing but Hypocrites. And don't bitch at me, and I'll tell you why.
My family owns more than 500 acres of Incredible Land with wet lands and it borders
a national park. And guess what I own an ATV AND I HUNT. But do you think for a minute
that I or any family members would harm in anyway that land. NOT!!! Obama Clown is
a joke. So ware were they? Any other Pres they would have been going Nuts.

Of course they did. If it was bush it would have been the end of the world. The media would be jumping up and down like little girls at a justin bieber concert!

You betcha! And the Anti War protesters vanished on 1-20-09, not to be heard from since. I'm sure these wackos will all resurface as soon as the next Republican moves into the WH.

The oil spill in the Gulf was neither Bush's or Obama's fault. However, Obama's reaction to it was deplorable and shameful!

Uh, yeah, after all, he refused to build the pipeline. Gosh darn, I am guessing that he will get a pass when there is a huge spill in the ocean, 'cause he is insisting that we purchase oil from people who want to kill us - instead of tapping into our own rich resources..........what and idiot......

both answers are good and the second one made my laugh!!! of course thats obamas answer to everything. blame bush

I disagree with both of these answer's to be honest. The environmental movement is not about promoting leftists necessarily, it is about protecting the environment, which leftists seem to support more then those of the right. I am both an environmentalist and a Liberal but I do disagree without Obama's environmental policies to date and don't approve of everything he has done in terms of his environmental stances. However the real reason I felt the need to post this is because of my disappointment in these clearly bias answer's. The yes answer takes away an environmentalists integrity by claiming that they care more about promoting leftists then the environment, which is simply not true.
However the "no" answer degrades environmentalists by calling them "eco-idiots" and claims that they would rather get high then protest. As a straight-edge environmentalist and liberal, I know from my standpoint I would not be getting high instead of protesting, nor would I be promoting leftists over the environment.
But coming from a poster named "FanOreilly," I guess I couldn't expect these answer's to be "Fair and Balanced."

Don't worry about Fair and Balanced. You and maybe 2 other people who keep watching
MSNBC. Can you tell me ware Kieth is. You know the dude who worked for ESPN and
got fired from well to many to mention. O ya Gores network. Current.

I don't really watch TV, nor do I follow ESPN or MSNBC because I find MSNBC to be bias and I don't follow mainstream networks.
Sorry to disappoint you.

No disappoint here. I think ESPN sucks and MSNBC AND the such are Boring.
Didn't mean to start anything. Take care.

Wrong!!!

Wrong about what?

Lol.. I forget!

They got high with obama,then got the munchies and no one ever asked how much B.P. contributed to obama's campaign.

It's all political. But the spill was BP fault, not anybody elses.

Of course they did. It can't be a liberal's fault.

How about, neither..?



The BP oil spill wasn't Obama's fault. It was BP's fault. 100%, no argument. That's like when people try to blame Katrina on Bush. Don't be like that.

That's a very good point. But BO did have more tools to stop the flow . Just didn't
step up to the plate. Point is the same tards that went after Bush didn't do the same
to BO. That's why I call them Extreme Hypocrites.

Maybe. Although I have a feeling that if he had stepped in more, people would have complained about that, too.

Also, and this is just my opinion, there actually wasn't much that could have been done after the spill that wasn't done. I think they handled the spill as best as they could... the problem is, they let the it happen in the first place.

He gets many passes.

Yes they did!

Not to much being said of the 20 billion confiscated from BP, Just wonder how many liberals in North Dakota or Portland Oregon ( examples of course) were paid for their suffering from the spill ,

The so-called environmental movement is about nothing more than controlling access to our nation's resources.

Liberals like calling Conservatives "the party of 'no'", which is really another case of them insidiously accusing the opposition of their own faults. (Liberalism = no budget, no drilling, no integrity, no directness. They prefer to hide behind pretend causes instead of coming out in the open and telling the truth.)

By making the oil spill worse by ignoring the problem, 0bama attempted to gain further control of denying access to drilling. If anyone doubts this, they merely have to compare the current permitting to previous permitting. By employing this dirty tactic at the expense of the environment, it appears 0bama has had success. He has successfully shut down much of the nation's drilling.

They actually made it much worse by delaying efforts to stop the spill.

As I recall Obama intentionally delayed relief effort offers tendered domestically and from other countries. Knowing now how he thinks, I have no doubt that his goal was to do as much damage to our economy as possible and casting blame on everyone but himself.

The government's regulators were busy watching porn on the internet like all government workers do. BP donated big to Obama.

the liberal left have given obummer a pass ON EVERYTHING! his lies, his mistakes, his un kept promises, his incompetence, everything! which is why they can still say he is a good potus. they have ignored EVERYTHING that has happened the last three years!

Yep. They sure did. It's terrible.

The environment movement should set the example. Go around bare-footed ,drive Barney's car and live in a cave .

A lot of people didn't do anything about the Gulf spill, everyone just kind of sat around pointing fingers instead of actually doing anything.

They wouldn't let locals get out to help with anything, your boat had to be registered with the cleanup. Even then the needed supplies weren't available to hasten the restriction of the spill. In other words, the governments help was not conducive to quick action.

Yeah, I know..... I read the news too

I live in Mobile and didn't have to read about it, they would not just accept help, and supply boats with what they needed. They instead contracted boats and had them sit there for the most part. It was the biggest waste of money I'd ever seen.

There's still something that doesn't add up about the whole explosion, and the ensuing after math, which Obie a way to shut it almost completely down

How stupid can anyone be? I will say if someone comes to you and tells you: Give me your money I will take care of the air you breath I am sure communists will be the first to tell you GO & F&%$ yourself if on top of that they make it a law they will go on to the streets saying GO F&%$ yourselves and demanding a revolution. Why is it then that when a Liberal and or Democrat (Communist all the same) says it, they just go really STUPID and swallow it? Just to spike the right? I WILL BE STUPID AND A PUPPET, ALL IN THE NAME OF WHAT? Someone like Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr. so he can make money trading carbon we use? not the one he uses of course. Yes it is about time stupid people wake up.
