GOP Sen To Obama: You Can’t Talk Energy Bill Without Talking BP

Easy Senator Alexander…the fool of a president is under lots of pressure. Mrs. O is pretty “po’d” at him. He’s been out of town and that’s impacted their date night. Also, the old golf game is suffering…
And remember, no one, absolutely no one is to ever questionthe great one.

In just 14 months, Obama has added $5 Billion per day to our debt…..3 times that of Bush’s 8 year term [Washington Times - June 3, 2010]

come on Senator Alexander, the media is sweeping the obamaoiless under the carpet and ignoring it…………so, you are required to so the same – the obama media says so, cuz they got the orders from the head America hater

Yeah, Lamar,
Stop picking on Oilbama — he hasn’t played Golf since yesterday and there’s been no hoops since this morning and no partying since last night — he’s having withdrawal and doesn’t want to think about big boy issues.

Obama doesn’t care a rat’s #$$ about the spill,. the War in Afghanistan, the unemployed, whatever is getting in the way of “transforming” America.

refuses to discuss oil spill when the gulf shores are being destroyed? this guy is incompetent! he should resign, or be impeached, convicted, and removed from office.

Whine whine whine…”NO! I don’t want to talk about the bad boo boos…let’s talk about how well I can dance and how much cooler I am than GW.”

Obama is by definition a suit full of talking points…..
a pathetic excuse for a human. Vote em out…and watch closely as he is in full destruction mode right now. Panic.
Batten the hatches.

the GOP is not making enough NOISE about the spill.. It will not be talked about enough till the oil makes it Hugo Chavez shores..he will get some headlines

“That’s just your talking point.”
How INFURIATING this guy is. IS there no reality to you, only words, words, works? Seventy-one days in you’ve finally accepted help from other nations, but in the meantime you think that if you don’t talk about it, it doesn’t exist.
Stop ignoring the Gulf Coast and giving it only words — and Biden’s words. ACTIONS, please. We’re begging you!

Day 70. The most powerful position in the world and what action have you taken to cap the well so far Mr. President?

I wonder how long O would let oil spill on the coast of a bunch of Blue states?

If the president just thinks that the crisis in the gulf is just a talking point, that shows that he really doesn’t care.

See, instead of talking about something that is a problem and needs something done about it, he wants to talk about something that isn’t a problem and doesn’t need anything done about it.

Aggie:
Sooner or later, ya’ll are really going to have to stop blaming President Bush, and own up to your dismal failure.
Actually what’s painfully obvious is 0 can’t focus on anything but golf. And the democrats are hell bent on raising taxes/regulations on everything and everyone that moves. The oil spill happened at a VERY convenient time, doncha think?
The motto of the Democrat party is:
“If it’s not broke, fix it until it is.”
THey are certainly doing their best to break America. If they are sucessfull, I hope the chains of tyranny lay heavily on your neck.
“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

Climate change and energy, as enlightened philosophical discussion, are much easier to pontificate upon than the unpleasant realities of spills, spies and a few million lost jobs. (But send in those skimmers, Mr. President, with or without the glory.)

obama is destroying the economy and the children’s future. but that isn’t enough, obama now is destroying the coastline and our oceans. what a rat!

Obama’s recent antics have gone far beyond the definition of simple incompetence; and, are now best characterized by “malicious malfeasance”. Obama’s declaration of a moratorium on deep-water drilling in the Gulf, over the vehement protests of the Governors involved, reveals the man as totally devoid of the acumen essential to effective governing of anything beyond the hosting of White House galas. Obama’s actions will shed thousands of jobs in the Gulf region; and, severely diminish the revenue stream essential to a recovery from the oil-spill crisis. Effected corporations cannot sustain the economic impact of idling the enormously expensive deep-water rigs; and, will be compelled to re-locate to other exploratory sites with the remotest probability that the rigs will return to the Gulf in the foreseeable future. Further, Obama’s accumulative mismanagement of the BP relationship, to include his recent demand for an up-front $20 Billion deposit in an escrow account, is more and more likely to force the Corporation into bankruptcy, transferring the full spill recovery debt onto the American taxpayer. Obama’s much heralded “inexperience” (including HIS deferral of environmental permitting requirements for the BP well now contaminating the Gulf) is incapacitating the ability of our Nation to respond to even low order crisis events; and, seriously impairs our National security. If left unrestrained, Obama, rather thru sheer incompetence -or- what is more and more being revealed as willful intention, will continue to do irreparable harm to America’s economic, and National Security interests. Clearly, the man should be removed from office. Greg Neubeck

We’ve been talking about the need for a energy bill since the 1970s and “getting off our addiction to oil” as the last six presidents have put it. But still the Republicans delay.
If not now, when? What will be our explanation to our grandchildren that we only talked for over 50 years about the importance of new energy sources? It’s time for Americans to grow up and face the future responsibly. Our grandchildren are depending on us to finally act on our country’s energy future.

“The exchange illustrates the difficulty in getting any comprehensive energy and climate change bill passed by the Senate this year.”
No, Mr. Jaffe, the exchange illustrates the difficulty in working with someone so rude and arrogant. Day after day after tedious day he treats good people badly.
He’s a very small person.

Thank God for Drudge and any new “crisis” down the pipe that the flat earth Obamao lovers want to shut down Internet – it’s just another crisis folks – just like bp CEO and Goldman CEO dumping millions $$$$ of their bp stock one month before gusher !! – msm won’t report – do your research and stay awake !

Hey chico,
The only painfully obvious thing i see is your sheeple programmed mind spoouting talking points while our nations southern shore is being destroyed. At the same time our southern border doesn’t exist, and jobs are leaving while prices are rising and the national debt is being spent into oblivion!
Wake up- the liberals of this country are willing to destroy their own nation without a clue to the consequence their children will pay- it’s the height of ignorance!

Texas Aggie, I grew up in Texas where Aggies were the butt of jokes, but no one really took them seriously, until you. Careful twisting your rationale so much to explain away this administration’s ineptitude, you may pull something.

Sorry Chico..that was meant for TEXAS AGGIE…….dude you should move to Massachusetts….

Texas Aggie said,
“It makes it painfully obvious that the Republicans are useless if the only thing they can focus on is the immediate here and now. I’m sorry, kiddos, but energy policy is a lot more than one oil well out of control. It involves everything from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to manufacturing our own wind turbines instead of buying them from China. Granted this may be too much for your little minds to grasp, so why not just go back to your wrestling matches and leave cleaning up Cheney/Bush’s mess to the grown-ups?”
Still blaming Bush for everything. Cain’t accept any personal responsibility eh?
Fact is that you are out-of-step with the majority of Americans as noted by EVERY professional pollster.
Fact is you need to listen instead of whining.
This administration is even worse than that of J. Carter in every way. I can’t wait ’til the November elections…

Hang tough, Republicans. If you can keep them from passing ANY form of cap and trade until November, it should be easier to thwart the envirocommies after that.

Obama’s incompetence and petulance is frightening and infuriating. He acts like a teenager who thinks he knows more than his parents and then stomps out of the house.

Aggie: No this is Obama’s mess, not Cheney/Bush. He had a year to get the MMS house in order, but pushed all the Progressive issues instead. Unfortunately for us all the lack of oversight bit him in the butt. I’m sure all the porn surfing bureaucrats are sorry but that does NOT help the Gulf or her people. The O deciding not to talk about it does not change the reality, nor does it help anyone. If the Gulf states had voted for O maybe they would see some Federal action, but instead they are being punished for not being enlightened enough to vote for The One.
Kind of like all the Federal relief and news coverage Tennessee did not see for the temerity of not supporting the Progressives. I’m off to puke now.

Hey TA! Get your head out of the Texas sand, and smell the crude! Obama and his cronies LOVE this and any other crisis that they can prolong for their own opportunistic reasons. You’ll wake up when the oil gets on your shore . . . maybe.

“The priority should be fixing the oil spill,” Alexander told the President, according to the source. “That’s what any meeting about energy should be about.”
But when Alexander tried to interject the BP leak into the meeting, the source said, the President told the senator, “That’s just your talking point.”
Retorted Alexander, “No, it’s my opinion.”
The exchange illustrates the difficulty in getting any comprehensive energy and climate change bill passed by the Senate this year.
******************
Um… no. The exchange illustrates the Presidents LACK of concern for the Gulf States.
Is the President saying, “Let the oil continue to spill. Just get my agenda passed.”

“energy and climate change legislation.”??
BS!
It’s tax, tax tax.
Nothing more. They should tell Obama to shove it.
Sideways.

Get a grip, CHICO. In case you forgot, the Gulf is turning into a tar pit. The Marxist-in-Chief is delusional and just wants to jam his Communist agenda while Rome burns. The sooner this imposter Presidential clown vacates the big house the better off the country will be. Can’t happen soon enough for me.

I have to admit, I am absolutely shocked at the incompetence of this administration. I never have high expectations for any politician, but this is absolutely amazing.

Especially since BP is his top contributor! That’s right, Obama’s welfare 1st, everybody else 2nd!
What do you expect he promised to give you “change”. (Or is that “leave you with”, I forget!?!)

To all of you who support us with your blind, unquestioning and simple minded obedience we the Party thank you…
To the rest of you who are self aware and understand our subterfuge to create a two class system of us and everbody else…I hope it doesn’t catch on.

Texas Aggie, get over the “cleaning up Cheney/Bush’s mess”. O has been in office for 18 months, ignored the oil spill while working on his golf game and tried to impress all with his huge, not, brain. Mr teleprompter can’t even form a lucid sentence without his prompter. Bush was 10times the prez Obama is and didn’t put us in nearly the debt O has done. His handling of 9-11 is a blueprint on how to handle a domestic crisis, something Obama is wholely unconcerned with. Really, pick your arguements and try to have some sort of logic when you do.

What more evidence does anyone need that obama is intentionally trying to destroy this nation?

Never has there ever been a more unqualified, unprepared, president than Barrack Hussein Obama.

obama is right,talk is cheap.people call hannity limbaugh and they talk most of the time they agree,talk is cheap .

Texasaggie, if wind turbines were a viable electricity generator, they would be all over the damn place.
Yes, bring our troops home from this unwinnable bs, we need them to aim and fire at illegals crossing the border.
obuthead doesn’t want to talk about his frak up. He gave that rig an award just days before the “accident.” His handling of the crisis is absymal, just like everything he does. He makes me sick.

The President is correct. He IS confident we’ll “get something done this year.” Like the destruction of personal freedom, the tanking of the economy, more job losses, the eradication of Israel, the weakening of our position in the world, higher taxes…must I go on? Keep it up, Barry! After November, you’re going to be a lame-duck President. In 2012, your party will be banned from Washington. Now THAT’S the kind of hope and change *I* can believe in!

The president seems to only have one card to play in these “bipartisan meetings”. Just as in the healthcare summit, he pops off with the “talking point” comment. He has no gift for governing. He is incapable of dealing with a crisis. His only real concern seems to be his poll numbers and politics.
The shame of it all is that the media is absolutely giving him a free pass on the cleanup bungles. Bush would have been, rightfully, crucified. This guy — nothing. Consistency from the media should be a given… especially when a whole region and eco system are at stake. I guess politics always wins out though!

Remember when Obama ran for office promising us a different Washington? He would inspire unity and we would all get along? What happened to that? This is the most partisan administration in memory. It is also the biggest bunch of lying, corrupt, self-serving, ego driven people we have had the misfortune to put in power. November 2nd is coming.

One thing is developing energy policy that will allow us to develop new energy technologies WITHOUT taxing us and wasting time on trading. We should not be penalizing the use of energy, we should be funding the development of new technology.
NO CAP and TRADE! And we can build our own wind turbines. Don’t tax us so that we can’t afford to do it.

RE:OPERATION KRAKEN above-Stop the Leak.The bottom of the hull of the oil tanker 80′opening is covered in a rubber/neoprene diaphram or apron which will easily be penetraed into tanker hull bottom when sunk over wellhead riser pipe then collapsing around wellhead from underneath upon settlement and sealing down leakage.

I’ve not been happy at Obama lately, but this has to be the last straw for me.
One conservative proves that he is not sucking the teat of the oil industry like everyone else and he’s shot down by someone who doesn’t want the BP oil spill to be discussed because he has quite a bit to hide. I can’t believe it…I just can’t believe it.
Right now BP is keeping journalists out of the site of the rig, staging fake photo-ops, keeping sea turtle rescuers from going near the burn areas because burning alive an endangered species is better than getting sued.
We should be discussing this oil spill Obama, and if you don’t want to do it then we should raise hell until you are forced to!
I seriously just don’t even care about party affiliation anymore. I’m a liberal but right now I just want people in office that can discuss an environmental future like ADULTS, and if it isn’t going to come from this President, then it had better come from his opponent in 2012 and if Senator Alexander’s query is a sign that Republicans can be environmentalists, then perhaps I will vote for him/her.

Seems that if Obama thought it was just a “talking point” he should have taken the opportunity to debate the issue and shoot it down with the voice of reason. Is Obama’s idea of being bi-partisan only discussing HIS “talking points”? If he is not willing to discuss the other sides opinions, how can he possibly hope to make people believe he wants to arrive at a bi-partisan solution to any problem?

Obama is such a punk. He used that “talking point” memo during that Health care meeting fiasco.
Obama is NOTHING more than a collection of David Axelrod’s talking points. The unqualified affirmative action hack is just a muppet.

Let’s see, Obama gave the WH press the slip again in Canada. WH Press were sent back to a hotel 180 miles away from the Pres…Whe are the reporters going to turn on this man?
EPA won’t allow Clean Nuclear Plants like France, won’t allow drilling, no clean coal(though Obama campaigned on that for energy- but then he told W VA he would bankrupt the coal industry)…and they voted for him…
What about the Soros deal with Brazil and you giving the Brazillian oil company 2B dollars for deep well drilling? Geeze no conflict of interest there Pres…

Obama has the USA in Check-Mate. Until someone has the courage to openly challenge his legitimacy as President he has the upper hand. Everyone, from Judges, Congress, Law Enforcement and the Military that swore an oath to uphold the Constitution are violating their oath by not requiring O to disclose who he is, where he came from and who paid for it.
When we get that fixed, then the country will move forward.

70 days into the oil leak disaster and only NOW Obama is accepting international help??? Sorry, that has to be intentional foot dragging. It is now evident that Obama wants MAXIMUM DAMAGE to the Gulf region so that he can say, “See? See how bad oil is? We need green energy now!” And that’s exactly what he’s been saying lately. When is the media going to call him out?

“sorry, kiddos, but energy policy is a lot more than one oil well out of control. It involves everything from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to manufacturing our own wind turbines instead of buying them from China. Granted this may be too much for your little minds to grasp, so why not just go back to your wrestling matches and leave cleaning up Cheney/Bush’s mess to the grown-ups?”
-This from some entity called Texas Aggie on the first page of comments.
I guess we’ve all been put in our place by another clubbing with received wisdom; About what we should expect from a semester and a half of predigested community college political science. Well played, sir. Discussion over. We shall all retreat to Walmart and leave policy to the hippies, carnival freaks and their bourgeois leftist masters who believe that ever-increasing government control is the solution rather than the problem.

@Texas Aggie, um, we’re not talking about cleaning up Cheney/Bush’s mess, we’re talking about Big O cleaning up his own mess. (You know, that big ol’ oil spill that happened under the New Messiah’s watch? You DID hear about it, didn’t you?)

Agree with Greg Neubeck.
To spin up, read the following: The Audacity of Deceit by Brad O’Leary, The Obama Nation by Jerome R. Corsi, PhD, The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian, Bankruptcy of Our Nation by Jerry Ribinson and the many 2008-2010 issues of Whistleblower, a publication of NewsMax. If you sincerely beleive and value the American way of life, regardless of your political views, please vote in November to re-establish our liberty, rights and freedoms given to us by the Constitution of the United States.

Texas Angie has the only comment of value
of all the reactive, name-calling posts.
Look at the big picture: economies and dictatorships of the Middle East are propped up by the U.S.’s (and the worlds) addiction to oil. This gives Middle Eastern governments money to put toward schools that brainwash kids who grow up to be terrorists and bigoted. There’s a lot more than the oil spill going on here. So keep on drilling so you can contribute to terrorism around the world or use your verbal creativity to come up with alternative energy sources and stop the cycle.
