The pressures of the office are apparently taking their toll on the Messiah. Recently, he showed his frustration at not being able to wave his hand and make the waters part and flew off the handle at his aides saying, "Plug the damn hole!" He was obviously referring to the hole in the Gulf oil well gushing black gooey stuff all over the poor defenseless sea creatures, making it damn hard to find fresh shrimp for the White House dinner parties and messing up his fund raising schedule. Well that's certainly understandable. I feel your pain, Messiah. It's tough to be the King and even tougher to be the Messiah especially when your awesome powers fail you just when you need them the most.
With every passing day, more of that crude is washing up on shore and a few more of your loyal toe suckers, like James Carville are losing their minds on national TV, screaming for you do something and saying, “We’re about to die down here!”
But, the Messiah keeps repeating his mantra that the federal response was right there from day one. Oh no, they never do nothin’ wrong. They were all over it but it was all Bush’s fault. And, of course that evil, greedy “big oil” British Patroleum lied about the extent of the gusher, a mile down below the surface, which makes it impossible to estimate anything with any degree of accuracy. Nobody knows how much oil is out there, but one thing is certain. The Messiah is stuck to this tar baby for the duration of his now almost certain one term presidency.
One thing that is sure to haunt him like a spell from a voodoo witchdoctor is the fact that it is becoming increasingly clear Obama's administration was powerless to stop the oil from reaching the coast. The environmental catastrophe predicted from the moment the news of the oil leak broke has begun to take place and whatever the almighty government did manage to do was not enough. Big Mommy government was a complete and utter failure.
It didn’t have to happen. At least, it didn’t have to be as bad as it will likely be before it’s over. There is a way to recover most of the oil and it has been done before, in the Persian Gulf. The problem is, nobody will listen to the suggestion. The technique is simple. Just pump it out of the water and into waiting tankers. Separate the oil from the water and voila. No more oil spill.
Nick Pozzi, who was an engineer with Saudi Aramco in the Middle East when he says an accident there in 1993 generated a spill far larger than anything the United States has ever seen. “By employing a fleet of empty supertankers to suck crude off the water's surface, Pozzi's team was not only able to clean up the spill, but also salvage 85 percent of the oil.” The trouble is, nobody will listen to his suggestion. So, all the king’s men and all the king’s scientists could not put humpty dumpty together again and all because they think they know better than some oil guy who has actually done it before. hmmmm...... Is that not the height of arrogance? And is that not just so typical of this Administration?
The Messiah was asked specifically in his press conference about the use of tankers to skim the oil and he totally ignored the question. He did spend lots of time, however, explaining how much he and his administration care about the situation and how important it is and how it is their top priority.... uh huh..... yeah, we’ve noticed....zzzzzzzz... At one point in the press conference I thought he was going to break down into tears talking about the poor oil covered birds and turtles. I guess he was thinking about all those enviro-wacko votes he’s losing over all this. It’s enough to make a grown politician cry.
His press conferences are enough to make a normal human puke. It's a good thing he quit doing them.
