ImWithStupid Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Democratic strategist James Carville and MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, two reliable supporters of President Barack Obama, have issued withering critiques of the administration’s handling of the Gulf oil spill. Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that the administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical� and that Obama was “naive� to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort. “I think they actually believe that BP has some kind of a good motivation here,� he said. “They’re naive! BP is trying to save money, save everything they can… They won’t tell us anything, and oddly enough, the government seems to be going along with it! Somebody has got to, like shake them and say, ‘These people don’t wish you well! They’re going to take you down!’� Carville also accused the White House of going along with what he called the “let BP handle it� strategy. “I’m as good a Democrat as most people, and I think this administration has done some good things. They are risking everything by this ‘go along with BP’ strategy they have that seems like, lackadaisical on this, and Doug is right, they seem like they’re inconvenienced by this, this is some giant thing getting in their way and somehow or another, if you let BP handle it, it’ll all go away. It’s not going away. It’s growing out there. It is a disaster of the first magnitude, and they’ve got to go to Plan B.� http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/21/obama-faces-new-wave-of-c_n_585620.html I guess we all learned one thing from all this... James Carville is a RACIST!!! 1 Quote
timesjoke Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Well I am sure they will not drop the 'racist' bomb on these guys, this administration saves that for those not in the party who don't blindly follw their lead as a way of stopping discussion on things they can't respond to. But it is interesting to see more Democrats starting to see some of the harms you get by electing a guy with no management skills in the slightest. He manages with his progressive and socialist agenda, nothing else. If this spill is allowed to be a huge problem, then suddenly a larger environmental reaction from the Federal Government will be needed with wide ranging and limitless powers............a huge environmental disaster would be good for their desire for more power, so why not step back and let BP handle it? If BP does a good job, Obama looks good and he can claim sometimes the Federal Government needs to let the experts in the field handle things and he knows when those times are....if BP does a horrible job and there is massive damage that can't be easily fixed, then Obama can come out and say that he just proved this is too important to leave in the hands of greedy oil companies and at that point he can go for the big control, or even a complete takeover of all oil wells, the latter would be difficult, but massive controlls with an all powerful environmental protection agency division to handle these platforms would not be very hard.

timesjoke Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 You know what is really interesting? The radical Left are always talking about how Bad Fox News is and how those who listen to Fox news are bad but guess what? Tonight Fox News is defending Obama in that there really is nothing that the Administration can do. Sure, a couple loudmouths have said they could shove BP out of the way but the Federal Government does not have the resources or the engineering expertice to work on anything a mile below the water. Like it or not, the Federal Government needs BP in this situation and any talk of going it alone without BP is simply foolish. Interesting how only Fox is being reasonable, too bad the other main Networks have stopped being news groups and are instead far left propaganda machines. Quote
