President Hamlet's Energy Policy

[teapartysamurai]

Obama is proving to be as indecisive on energy policy as he is on so many other things. He is a leader as indecisive as Hamlet.

[FONT=times new roman,times]But Obama was not and is not decisive. In fact, his response to the disaster was as bizarrely conflicted as it was grotesquely dilatory. He spent twelve days in Washington essentially doing nothing -- oh, wait, there was the Washington Correspondents' Dinner! -- while the oil spill rapidly ballooned. It took him ten days to send his EPA chief and Interior Secretary down with a squadron of lawyers, apparently under the daffy theory that lawyers are better than engineers at fixing technological problems. (The interior department's chief of staff Tom Strickland was late in joining the party, as he was busy river-rafting in the Grand Canyon. Yes, these people love nature!)[/FONT]


[FONT=times new roman,times]Now, some are calling this "Obama's Katrina," comparing Obama's inaction now to Bush's alleged inaction to Hurricane Katrina. But this comparison is unfair -- to Bush.[/FONT]


[FONT=times new roman,times]First, while during and immediately after the Katrina flooding there was a hurricane blowing through the region, there was no bad weather in Obama's case to stop him from flying down immediately.[/FONT]

Also impeding the Feds was the air-headed governor of Louisiana at the time, Kathleen Blanco.[/FONT]


[FONT=times new roman,times]But the BP oil rig disaster took place over fifty miles out at sea, well beyond the jurisdiction of any affected state. It was from the outset solely a federal matter.

He is reminding me more and more of Jimmy Carter. He is NOT a leader. Simply a shill for a left wing agenda. Anything that gets in that way lof that agenda like an oil spill or Iran taking 50 hostages and the indecisive incompetence swings into high gear.

Ah yes, the American Stinker, such a non-partisan source.

You fellows had eight years to get it right. You gave us two failed wars, a huge failure in response to a natural disaster, and damned near the Second Great Republican Depression.
