Right up front, I don't.

But I was listening to economist Larry Kudlow's radio show this morning and I was astonished at the number of people calling in claiming Obama was just following the Cloward/Piven and Saul Alinsky method for the destroying the economy.

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 think his nearly instantaneous response was intentional.

Well something prompted him to finally act. It's better he been seen in LA, AL and MISS than attending some basketball dinner.

Also good to hear he finally deployed some assistance to the gulf to help with cleanup.

I don't consider 30+ days "nearly instantaneous" as you do florida.bob for finally doing more than finger pointing on TV.

Yes, I feel it was intentional. IMO, Obama is a very vengeful man who never got the election support he thought he deserved from the south. Any laws or bills that come from the south are being set on his back burner. Google the results! His main concerns have been on Obama supporting states not the country as a whole. He went to New Orleans to address the citizens there about Hurricane Katrina, the only portion of the state to support him. He forgot about Slidel, Waveland (which was literally wiped off of the map!).All hail the great TYRANT "OBAMA"!

He can kiss my ***** buttocks!

I'm sure all the Louisiana residents appreciated his "instantaneous response".

Larry Kudlow served in the Reagan administration..his RW politics are no secret.

What kind of audience do you expect for a guy like that?

This marxist regime is always going to take advantage of a crisis, any crisis. Thinking ahead the marxists realized that some oil would have to reach the beaches and marshes before they could justify putting a moratorium on off shore drilling. Maybe that was why offers from giant freighters with vaccuums to suck up oil were told "NO THANKS".

Do Lemon Aid stands provide bandages for wounded lemons? Or perhaps you mean lemonade? Do you think the President is as articulate as you?
