Carter had Iran. Reagan had Beirut. Clinton signed DOMA and DADT. Bush 1 said READ MY LIPS

W lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama seems to be foundering and flailing in the context of the gulf oil volcano.

Do American Presidents suck, or what?

Is there no pony we can ride out of this mess?

1. Actually he's doing OK, next

[scheming daemons]

2. Obama's doing well... handling the Gulf better than any GOPer would

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. Do you say that because if there were a GOPer in charge, MORE oil would be leaking into the gulf?

Or are you just defending President Obama?

[scheming daemons]

10. GOPer would be protecting BP, putting this on the taxpayers

Especially the last GOPer.

[Skittles]

6. not exactly a ringing endorsement

a ham sandwich would do better than the G O fucking P

[FrenchieCat]

3. One of those is not like the other.

or have we had a President stop an oil leak 1 mile down with a speech before?

a disaster is called that, because that's what it is.....
Oil will reach the shore, animals and eco systems will die,
and folks will suffer financially. BP cannot make it whole,
and President Obama cannot reverse it.

4. armchair supermen are what really sucks.

give us all a big break, please.

[Cha]

7. Obama isn't floundering but your hobbled analysis is.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. How heartening it is that you've pointed out the flaw in my statement without having to allude to

what's been done that is mitigating this mess.

[Jennicut]

9. An oil spill is like passing legislation, raising taxes, and going into war?

I had no idea!
The pony is ultimately us. Do we continue down the path of easy oil consumption, which is growing harder to find every day, or bite the bullet and put pressure on getting clean energy invested in? I have no idea. Some still want to drill on the Gulf in deep waters. Some never learn.

11. You seem to have the fire in your belly. When are you announcing?

Where can we buy buttons & yard signs & shit? Cherokee in '12. :rofl:

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. I'll announce when YOU do. Fair enough?

[Freddie Stubbs]

13. The big difference is that Reagan and Clinton were reelected
