I knew it wouldn’t take too long for a lefty greentard to be upset that the oil spill isn’t the ecological disaster the media hyperbole claimed it would be.

Apparently, Obama is back to thinking he’s fucking El Supremo.  Robert Gibbs, Press Secretary of the White House, in a NPR interview on using executive strong-arming with BP: Mr. GIBBS: Steve, I’d say we’re working on that with a whole host of entities.

How much would you like to bet that these same upstanding citizens covering themselves in oil and screaming frantically for a government takeover of BP (as if the federal government has more expertise in the complex science of deep water drilling than BP which specializes in the complex science of deep water drilling) are the […]
