BP Leak Video Could Be Bad News for The One |
2010-06-18 |
The biggest nightmare for the administration and Democrats seeking re-election in November would be for the video to become a 2010 version of how TV networks tallied the number of days American hostages were held in Iran during 1979 and 1980. Held hostage because he had to 'take control'. Where's the Irony Meter? "If this becomes like the Iran hostage crisis, it's very bad news for Obama," said Darrell West, who studies campaigns and mass media at the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution. There was a taste of it Thursday. "Today is the 59th day of the BP oil spill that has devastated much of the Gulf of Mexico," is how Way to go, Bart! |

#6 The leak is now a mealticket for the media. Hell the local paper is literally being paid to cover this. It's also now a meal ticket for every stand up comedian on the planet. My plan is to get rich damn quick. I'll need a Polar Bear, a winsome hippy chick and a Flip. The ocean will provide the oilz necessary for this endeavor, if it doesn't I'll go Castrol. That would be www.tallahassee.com 5 full page back cover ads a week from BP. |

#3 That daily tally should also include how many gallons of oil have polluted the gulf, how many days each decision takes, how many times he has interfered with local decisionmaking like having the coast guard stop skimmers until they have enough lifejackets and fire extinguishers, and every other bit of information that could show his success or failure to manage the situation. |
