Barack Obama Universally Derided for Oil Spill Address

Perusing the criticism, it is difficult to tell which is from conservative and which is fro progressive sources. Only the most progressive partisans are making any attempt to defend the president and those are awfully pitiful. Barack Obama is heading into the same no man’s land bush 43 found himself in the final two years of his presidency.

Keep in mind Obama is only in the first two years of his. He has already given a stockpile of ammunition to his eventual republican opponent for 2012 and we have not even hit the midterms yet. Heaven only knows what kind of damage he can do I the remainder of his term.

(Sarah Palin appears to be the potential Republican candidate most willing to use the ammunition provided. Just sayin’.)

So what is the problem? All quarters seem to agree Obama’s speech is too little, too late. He is unenthusiastic about the clean up. He has no right to take money from BP and put it in a fund for victims--a move that if asking for fraudulent claims. He is more interested in his energy policy, but no one can see how building more windmills is going to provide energy for a bustling nation the size of the United States.

Obama’s entire plan can be summed up in one word--naive.

His plan runs from the illogical--put lawyers in charge of everything--to immoral--redistribute BP’s wealth to ambiguous “victims“-- to outright fatasies--spend money and maybe we will eventually come up with a new energy source. Obama does not know where he is going, but expects us to follow. Even progressives are starting to see what a horrible idea that is.
