BP sued by Obama
Posted by: DarthVader || 12/15/2010 14:44 || Comments || Link || [3 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Obumble dithered and dallied on dealing with that spill, hoping to exacerbate it into some sort of crisis to use to prop up all kinds of crazy legislation and thinking.

I'm sure the lawsuit against BP will include all kinds of energetic debate about this. And I'm sure it will get all kinds of undesirable press coverage.

And didn't BP already agree to about $20B or some such figure?

Bon Jovi now White House community organizer by executive order
Actor. Poet.
All song writers are poets. Good, bad, or embarrassingly dreadful, but poets nonetheless.
Musician. Performer.
Eh? Isn't that what successful actors and musicians are, within their particular genre?
Rocker Jon Bon Jovi can now add one more title to his impressive resume: White House appointee.
That impressive resume' can be summed up as popular singer-songwriter, with all the other fancy words left out.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing the White House Council for Community Solutions, and Bon Jovi appears as one of the individuals appointed to the group.

"The Council will provide advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs," states the release.
And people wonder why the world thinks Obama is completely ineffective and weak?
It's like Congress voting for National Chocolate Day. It does no harm and may result in bigger donations in the next election.

#1  And people wonder why the world thinks Obama is completely ineffective and weak?

As well as abysmally stupid.

#2  The Obama mental picture I get is a huge fish Flopping around in the bottom of a boat.
Very out of place, ideas, and his element.
(Whatever the hell his element really is)

#3  Someone cut the cheese
And your to blame
You gave the air
A bad smell (bad smell)

#4  Ooh, he's a White House appointee
We know he got the job just
Because he's a celebrity
Ooh, he's a White House appointee

#5  The Council will provide advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs.

Sounds like Obama's re-election campaign is starting off on the goverment's dime.
Classy...real classy.
