Former FEMA director Michael Brown is not backing off his charge that the Obama administration wants to use the Gulf Coast oil spill as a plot to put an end to offshore drilling.

"They want a crisis like this, so that they can use a crisis like this to shut down offshore and gas drilling," he said Tuesday night on CNN's "AC 360°."

This from a guy whose bona fides is based upon his experience as head of the Arabian Horse Association!

Please, find someone credible, like Dennis Leery, at least he acts like a real fireman.

You're doing a heckuva job Brownie. George Bush

2010, "You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie> Roysoldboy

I was thinking that before Brown was reported saying it, but will allow him to have all credit for making it public.

I've often wondered if Bush was being sarcastic when he said that.

If there is but ONE man, just ONE, in all of this great land, who should keep his mouth shut and hide in shame, then Michael Brown it is that one man. Brown the Clown. Shut up Brown, you're a moron, a loser, a national disgrace.

Well, when a President does react appropriately, they would likely reap some political benefit. Something of which, I am sure, Brownie has had no experience.
