If he cared so much about the environment he would have voted for Al Gore back in 2000. Bush had a poor environmental record and he still choose to support him.

He never went after Bush about preventing 911. Instead he was more infatuated with the bullhorn moment. Now he expects Obama to be godly and prevent the oil from reaching the shore.

1.  How do you know who Matthews voted for? He has never said.

While he swings with the wind he was a Dem and a PR person for President Carter.

5.  Maybe so. I don't remember that but I could be wrong. We all make mistakes though.

and he would have been mistaken if he did that.

8. I know the reason he was against Hillary Clinton
He wanted to be the Press spokesman and they chose someone else. He got peed off and never supported the Clintons again. He is a very spiteful individual.

6. Amen. After whining for weeks about him not being emotional enough
Tonight he was all pissy because Obama didn't say under what authority he, as President, would make BP set aside funds for reparation

That would have been like an, um, seminar, Tweety.

Make up your crazy-car mind, Tweets.

7. It is strange that the media didn't go after Bush for bungling 9/11

9. He can't be bothered right now. He's making news.
That's just the way it works these days.

10. Tweety can be a nitwit but he finally has stumbled on the real problem
Which is under no circumstances can BP be trusted to be responsible or to put the habitat, wildlife, and the lives and well being of our citizens above profit or avoiding personal culpability.

He gets that BP's board is not up to the job and cannot be trusted at all, not even with stopping the oil.

They've even clearly been feeding their engineers a lot of bull and that means their attempts may have made the situation worse.

Command and control has always been where the problem was and ducking it will prove a disservice to nature and our citizens.

11. Someone should time how much time he talks.
I think he prefers to hear himself talk more than letting guests.

12. I am getting tired of being lied to
That pathetic speech by our so-called leader was a bunch of hog snot. BP and the federal government knew this was WAY worse from day one. Now we are being told to pray for shrimpers and that the beaches will be restored to their original condition. Pluheeze!! That won't happen in our lifetimes. As for the the "new" estimate of oil flow, that is nothing new. Scientists have been saying that for months. Even a writer for, OMG! The Examiner!!! wrote about that a month ago. You can read it here: http://www.examiner.com/x-38220-Orlando-Independent-Exa... . If someone can sit on a PC and give the facts a month before the government, BP and the corporate media does, you have to know we are being lied to and conditioned to slowly accept the true magnitude of this disaster. Furthermore, there are enough toxins in the air from evaporating oil without burning more. Here's another: http://www.examiner.com/x-38220-Orlando-Independent-Examiner~y2010m6d15-Toxins-in-air-from-evaporating-oil-may-pose-greater-threat-to-Gulf-residents-than-oily-water This disaster is already out of hand!
