The Obamamania CBC message conveyance system, owned by the taxpayers of Canada, is positively breathless this morning reporting that by golly, “less than a day” after his grand speech last night, in which he used the oil leak crisis as a means through which to channel more politicking about “going green” and setting up more “commissions” and “study groups” and government programs, and throwing taxpayer cash at hope and more of that specious Obama ether as read off that idiotic teleprompter, he met with BP executives.
This is their opening sentence in their reporting:
U.S. President Barack Obama met with BP executives on Wednesday morning, less than a day after telling the public he would make the company pay for damage caused by the growing Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The word “finally” doesn’t appear in their report. Nor does “58 days after the oil leak started”.
What the CBC might have mentioned is that Obama was the biggest recipient of BP election campaign cash; and that this is the same same Obama would said during the campaign that he would meet with Iranian and North Korean and al Qaeda and other heretic nutbars — without preconditions — and yet he blithely waited TWO MONTHS to have his very first meeting with BP oil executives. Obama’s happy to meet with terrorists and anti-American nutbars — it’s CEOs that give him the heebee jeebees.
I have a feeling President Bush would have had BP executives on the horn the first afternoon after this happened. I know Sarah Palin would have already given them what for, and set them straight, as she did in Alaska as Governor.
Did you hear her talk yesterday on Bill O’Reilly’s post game show following Obama’s speech? Hers was twice as good, twice as useful, and twice as honest. And it wasn’t read off a teleprompter.
Here’s a different article, for those of you interested in actually learning facts:
Obama Draws Bipartisan Criticism for Using Oil Spill to Push Energy Policy
…“If my house is on fire, I don’t need the fire chief telling me I should not have built the house out of wood. I need somebody to put the fire out,” Republican Alabama Gov. Bob Riley told Fox News on Wednesday. “We have a crisis here. … Last night, we were going through again the same type of rhetorical persuasion that the president is very good at, but not now.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., was quoted by The San Francisco Chronicle saying, “the climate bill isn’t going to stop the oil leak.” Stopping the leak should come first, she said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he agrees with Feinstein and that the energy policy proposed by Obama will not help Gulf residents in the near-term.
“What they’re doing here in effect is holding the Gulf hostage to a national energy tax,” he told Fox News.
The speech came 57 days after the April 20 explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 workers and sparked the crisis, in which millions of gallons of oil already have spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. …
… “Instead of leveraging this crisis to manufacture knee-jerk political support for cap-and-trade energy taxes, President Obama should focus on providing the people of the Gulf with real and honest solutions to this horrible environmental disaster that this administration has been slow in waking up to,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said in a written statement.
