President Procrastinate was avoiding work, pumping pork and pulling puds again today: Visiting Gulf, Obama Vows to Press BP on Spill Claims
President Obama assured residents and state officials in Mississippi that the federal government will push hard to make sure that the British oil giant BP reimburses businesses and individuals for lost income from the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.Translation: "I can't clean it. I can't plug it. I can't suck it up with a straw. But I'll make sure the lawyer trough is stocked with swill for decades. After years of litigation you all will be sure to get ten percent of what you're due before we deduct 30% for our 'fee' and 90% for 'expenses'."
The O's next step in this debacle will be to push forward legislation promising a place at the trough for anybody within 500 miles of the Gulf Coast who asserts their livelihood was "adversely impacted." Look for the government to assume the roll of one of those "structured settlement" companies:
"Do you think you've GOT IT COMING from BP but can't get your mitts on the dough? Contact "O-So-Socialist Solutions" for a fat check from the government. No reasonable hallucination of loss refused. No credibility check. No verification."
Meanwhile, Senate Rapper Reid rhymes:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, speaking on the floor of the United States Senate on Monday said: “Our message to BP is as simple as this: If you drill and you spill, / we’re going to make sure you pay the bill.”Send in the clones.
But don't despair. Tomorrow is date-night for America as President Procrastinate invites us all into the Oval Office. Tune in at eight for the president to prevaricate and pull the pud the nation. You can be sure it will be... well... masterful.

I've been under the weather for a few weeks, barely blogging, most the time just vegetating in a pain medicated fog, but I love coming here and seeing that I'm not alone with the seething anger I feel inside toward our pathological liar-in-chief. The fact that you are able to put my thoughts down and post them so cogently is a bright spot in an other words crappy time for me right now. Thank you.
I wonder if you, or any of your readers, ever wonder, as I do, how some of these jerk offs could have possibly grown up in the same country? Of course, the Obumbler didn't and I can understand how brainwashed he is by his early education and the communist/totalitarian/religious influences of his youth, but what about those in his inner circle? The man is obviously totally incompetent, but you would think there would be at least one or two sane adult heads in the White House. The Gulf spill is like 9/11 so golf and snow cones at the beach are in order, where are the advisers? Every day this incompetence is getting scarier and scarier.
