Obama and his ultra-liberal friends have discovered that "hope 'n change" isn't easy. Oil spills and Tea Partiers get in the way...
Obama:
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much... Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”
Obama’s hypocrisy charge is so obtuse, only his stupidest cheerleaders are going to be impressed with it. Conservatives are not anarchists. Constrained, efficient and responsive government is the conservative ideal.
If ever there were a situation for which involvement of the federal government would be appropriate from the conservative standpoint, the gulf oil spill would be it. The vast majority of people on both halves of the political spectrum understand that intuitively.
A catastrophic environmental disaster involving several U.S. states, a site leased from the U.S. government, and a multi-national corporation ― the federal government clearly has a role. The feds could at least be clearing the way for help from international skimming ships.
Now is not the time for Obama and his statist allies to quibble with tea partiers about perceptions of hypocrisy. This is Obama’s opportunity to lead, and to show us that his kick-ass progressive government can get the job done. So far…epic failure.
Rather than rising above the fray, POTUS is pointing his finger at the people who have dared to complain.

RK: Nice BP logo. You did a great job of deciphering the Barack Propaganda as well: "Conservatives are not anarchists."
I agree with nacilbupera in both regards and might add that the oil spill is proving to be 'above his paygrade'.
nacilbupera: Thanx. Sick of libs who make straw man arguments about "anti-government" conservatives.
Christopher: That's a good line. I wan't to use that on twitter and give you credit. Do you use Twitter?
No Twitter account here but go ahead and post it as it says alot and thanks for the credit.
There is a time and place for Government. One is protection of the nation on our boarders and at our shores. Obama refusal of help from other nations, as with the skimmers and such, exposes his leadership skills in times of crisis as null and void, and our enemies see this.
Christopher: thanks
Mark Adams: Obama's lucky to have the old media as his lap dog. If he didn't, he'd be in serious trouble.
'm fed up with politically correct liberal morons making stupid policy and federal laws that are killing our U.S. Constitution, which is the Foundation of our American Society.
The latest madness is the liberal mainstream media and their ugly, suicidal agenda attacking a great patriot, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, for signing a law that makes it a crime to be in Arizona illegally and requires police and other enforcement agents to check documents of people they reasonably suspect of being illegal immigrants.
Nobody knows how many illegal aliens have invaded America over the past 20-30 years. We can only guess: "millions and millions and millions...."
20 million?
50 million?
75 million?
100 million?
Nobody really knows.
What we do know is that once tough independent Arizona Governor is taking charge of her Arizona order where millions of "illegals" are literally pouring in ever year.
I hold the liberal socialist Democrat Party, which is destroying the United States of America, responsible for the $18 trillion debt the federal government is piling up for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to pay back.
Please nominate Patricia Sullivan, Conservative Republican, for Congress in the 8th Congressional District, Fl.for Ten Buck Fridays. The seat is currently held by Alan Grayson. Patricia, being the only Republican to qualify for the ballot by petition and a real peoples grass roots candidate is the one to beat him. To do so she needs all the financial support your contacts can muster in order to make her message heard. Can you help??
Thank You,
George
