I love "official" stats like this. Who were these historians? A bunch of your friends in your mom's basement getting high and talking about the evil Bush regime? Was it a government sanctioned study? Was it a university study?

Or is it just you making up things to prove your point?

Bush wasn't great, and I was less than thrilled with him by the end of his term, but stupid comments like the one above just show that you really have no base in reality and just can't get off your "I hate Bush" kick.

This idiot in chief is in WAY over his head and doesn't know how to respond to anything. He may have a college education, but he's amazingly ignorant.

Let me take a wild guess here. You are an avid Palin fan. Maybe Beck?

I just think Obama is a terrible manager and has no one on his staff good enough to help him. Surround yourself with academics and you get a lot of pithy talking points, but these folks couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag, much less a crisis the magnitude of this oil spill.
I am surprised that you are unware of one of the most important factors for his deliberate inaction.

Perhaps you are not aware (may be one of the last not yet aware), that in the last 20 year, the largest benefactor of BP political largesse (as in $$$$) was none other than (insert drum-roll here) Barack Hussein "The Poser" Obama.

Now you know the rest of the story.

You keep on guessing. Like a stopped calender (my twist on and old proverb) you are bound to be correct once-a-year. I seem to remember something about blind pigs and acorns that seems appropo as well.

Is "misunderestimate" even a word. I have heard of "underestimate", but not misunderestimate. And is that "Brownie" comment to imply Brownie II, with BrownieI being the Bush-era FEMA director?? If so, that would be considered racists, IMHO.

Yes, he passed wind the instant he heard of the explosion. Two second laters, he passed something else, but it wasn't a "test".

You are correct in all respects. However, I say, let them focus of Bush - all the way out of office.

I think Rhinestone means Obama has a clear understanding of the situation. Misunderestimate = correct estimate or perhaps over estimate, although it isn't a word.
