Wag's Ramblings

How's that Hope and Change working for you?

Did you catch Obama's speech regarding the disaster in the Gulf?

Obama: There's a pipe spewing gobs of oil into the gulf, so let's build more solar panels and windmills.

Two days after Hurricane Katrina President Bush waived the Jones act so foreign ships could work in our waters to render assistance and very few if any complaints were heard.

Immediately after the BP explosion 13 country's offered their help, some by sending huge skimmer ships to suck up the spill but Obama refused all of their help.

After 50 something days he still will not waive the Jones act which prohibits foreign ships from working in our waters.

Oh ya I forgot that's a Union thing.

It appears Obama's thought process is: This is an urgent situation we have underwater leaking pipe 40 miles off Louisiana that we haven't plugged and don't really understand how it broke in the first place so we need to immediately pass the Cap and Trade bill.

The ruptured well is BP's fault, the oil reaching the beaches and wetlands is Obama's fault.

The Dutch offered to supply 4 oil skimmers. These are large arms that are attached to oil tankers that pump oil and water from the surface of the ocean into the tanker. Each system will collect 5,000 tons of oil each day. One ton of oil is about 7.3 barrels. 5,000 tons per day is 36,500 barrels per day. 4 skimmers have a capacity of 146,000 barrels per day. That is much greater than the high end estimate of the leak.

I repeat,Obama refused the skimmers!!!!!

I wonder if Obama will tell us he inherited this and it is Bush's fault?

Today, Jimmy Carter is secretly delighted.

Thanks to Mr. Obama, Carter is no longer considered the worst president in American history.
