In his opening response, Obama stressed that the federal Government, his government, is and has been in charge from the first days of the Gulf crisis. He brought up regulations dating back to the Bush days and did so twice, trying to deflect the obvious criticisms implicit in the questions of the press corp. Chip Reid (NBC News), in asking about the "cozy relationships" between oil and government got this response: "There is no evidence that the corruption under the Bush administration occurred after I took office." Are we to believe that the "corruption" under Bush ceased simply because Obama came to power? That is the effect of what he said. He does not refer to the award for safety given to BP or the continuing practice of approving construction without viable inspections DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION.
During the press conference, Obama fully contradicted the criticism of those citizens in the Gulf region, citizens qualified to offer critical analysis, citizens such as Governor Bobby Jindal, fully informed and qualified to make decisions about the coast line of his state. It is obvious that Obama has fully undercut Jindal's authority as governor. In so doing, Hussein O has inadvertently taken on full responsibility for the increasing eco-disaster this oil spill has become.
"We are years off and technological breakthroughs away from moving into a green economy" - Obama. Finally, a moment of truth. The fact is this: green jobs are a full decade in the future. What is devastating in this reality is the realization that his present green-jobs policies are destroying the traditional job market even before green jobs are created to replace those lost jobs.
He claims to not know about Birnbaum's resignation/firing (MMS head) while stating that he is in full control of the crisis and has been from day one. Incredible.
"The easily assessable oil has already been sucked out of the ground" is a statement made by Obama in full denial of the physical penalties inherent in radical environment regulations requiring deep water drilling 40 to 100 miles off our coasts. The failed well at the center of national attention is located 48 miles off coast. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La) made statements early this morning, before the news conference, on FoxNews, that there remain oil drilling opportunities in shallow waters (1000 deep) and on shore sites.
He made it clear that the 1,200 National Guard troops being sent to the Southern borders are not there to enforce illegal immigration laws -- we add "Federal" immigration laws -- rather, to deal with drug intervention and prosecutions. In other words, he has no intentions of supporting Federal law, much less Arizona law.
At one point, he declared that he did not support boycotts or "not boycotts." After all, he is the "President" of the country - or so he made note.
He was not asked about Sestak until last question, Major Garret from FoxNews. He promised that we would be hearing an official statement on this matter soon, "and I do mean soon." Thanks, Mr O, after 3 months of non-disclosure -- all we can say, "It's about time." Understand that we are left wondering why the silence, the stone walling, the outright lies? Why take 3 months or more (depending upon what "soon" mean) to come up with some sort of explanation. The reason for the delay? Obama and company have committed a felony in making its offer to Sestak. Before a response, they absolutely have to figure out what to say in view a future investigation -- an investigation that will surely come to pass. He is nothing but a Chicago politician, a thug in an empty suit, pretending to be an "administrator." see you in court, O - man !!

It took an hour for this guy to answer questions from perhaps 8 reporters --- after 308 days of official silence. Pathetic. --- jds.
