  • U can talk but u can't act

  • You wont do shit about it youlying idiot and you know it. The oil industry is worth too much. We could have had clean energy a long time ago. The tech has been available for years. What he has done here is tried to take the the view off the clusterfuck of a mess the economy is in and draw it to some bloody oil spill.

  • Obama talks to us like we're a bunch of children.

  • I don't why some of you are surprised by some of the negative comments that have been posted here. Obama may the President of the United States but lets face it, most of white/non black America just sees him as another n**ger! Let be honest here people. Do you really think he would be getting a lot of the slack that he's been facing before he even set foot in office if he weren't black? Look inside yourselves and ask yourselves that question. More importantly, be honest with yourselves!

  • Obama > Bush

    Clinton > Reagan

    LBJ > Nixon

    Truman > Eisenhower

    FDR > every conservative ever

  • @painlessissuicide yeah keep drinking the coolaid chief

  • It's funny that Olbermann came on the air the following night and said, "why didn't he mention the $20billion payout the night before?"

    Well, Keith....I'm sure you would love for him to sit down and consult you, chris and Cenk on all matters before he speaks, but that's not the way it works!

    Btw, cenk- you wanted him to say this and say that......Where's your follow-up video about how bad he made keith and chris look? Stop sucking up for a spot on MSNBC! Larry O'donnell has that spot.

  • The United States does not have any employees because there is no longer a United States. No more reorganization. After over 200 years of operating under bankruptcy it's finally over. (Executive Order 12803) Do not impersonate one of the creditors or shareholders or you will go to Prison. 18 U.S.C.914

  • Obama sucks He is working for the UN IMF and the Private Non-Government "Federal Reserve Bank Cartel! The "US Corporation" is owned by the British! We need to buy our "US Corporation Back!"

  • @hempartist420 Fucking someone in the ass is not the same as knowing them. Just sayin' ...

  • In fact, the other day i was watching a show about politics on cbs. They had brought in a republican and a democrat and were asking them both questions and had them argue about the answer. Whenever the republican started to win, the host of the show started asking another question and would never let him finish talking. Jesus i'm only 14, but it seems to me like that's pretty bias! And please nobody try to claim that i'm a republican, because i don't like them any better then dems. INDEPENDENT

  • I hate how bias the media is towards democrats. It's awful. If it were a republican in office, then they would be slamming them for not accomplishing what he said he was going to and also all of the little things. If a republican were to miss the memorial day ceremony at arlington national cemetary then the media would've flipped out!

  • stop reading off the screen... do you truly believe that he 'feels' anything that he is saying?! wake up world

  • Yeah, more jobs in America. So yeah, get us those jobs you federal muppet. Still with those who seem to be profiting on this event, like those stock shares sold before the news got out suddenly that this all high tech thing just went up. All these so called safeties, yet they weren't forced to take the obvious one.

    The hand out in it's self is not going to be enough, neither is allot of this. And though I can't confirm it, I hear suddenly it's illegal to get more footage of the effected zone?

  • How surprisingly stupid a president! Just admit your mistake and resign quickly! You are nothing but terrible shame for all standards of human being. But he appears shameless!

  • @normalizetheworld first it's let private business handle their own stuff and now it's please do something. Make up your mind. You Rightwingers is against everything that the government does except when it benefits you. Please stop hating!!!

  • @tymitch68 To hate the evil is the duty of all men of human nature just like to love the good is. Without raging with God and people like thunder storm can there be no purification.

  • One term President!!

  • @gsizzles You wish, lol.

  • @x2thay The honeymoon is over, his approval ratings has steadily declined since the election and is at an all time low, he even has a democratic congress speaking out against him....sinking like a stone.

  • @gsizzles I'd have to agree. He has not accomplished a goddamn thing.

  • Ok, take Obama's place for one second. Almost EVERYONE is against him, he can't speak exactly what he wants, be cause it can damage him. He's laying out a strategy to win the next election.

    And i am almost sure that he will make the CHANGE he promised if he gets elected in 2012. Trust me on this one.

  • obama you fuk.....ing bustard and big ash...l ,fuk your moomy

  • obama gay fucking president

  • @kimlene05 I DROVE UP BEHIND A CAR THE OTHER DAY & IT HAD 3 BUMPER STICKERS!.... 1. SAID..:(I'M A RACIST BLACK MAN)....2.SAID...:(I LOVE THE TASTE OF BIG WHITE COCK IN MY MOUTH)....:3. SAID...(BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WILL BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE IN 2012) DAMN I GUESS STEREOTYPES ONLY COME TRUE IN YOUR little WORLD.

  • three words... worst president ever

  • Ask Obama how much money he received from BP in campaign donations - more than any other politician since 1990.

  • please do not let sarah palin to further hi-jack my tea party. I do not know when SP started being the figure-head of the tea parties.I bet it was not long after Limbaugh, Beck and every other gate-keeper started glueing these together.Can they please stop saying, Sarah Palin and the tea parties, please

  • Obama is not that naive. It's all set up already. Obama knows that republicans will never agree with him, and he thinks thats a good thing because it makes it easier for him to implement all sorts of policies that are most of the democrats base are against. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Obama is a Clintonite in the true sense. He's using the same method Clinton used to pass essentially pro business conservative policies. "Bipartisanship" is a political scam.

  • Listen to the crack smoking communist fraud O'Asshole lecture America about it's addiction to fossil fuels. What a joke. I bet his hometown in Kenya uses gasoline to run it's cars and generators.

  • Well the conservatives have been adding to the list of who's to blame for the oil spill: The Unions, Federal Regulators, The environmentallists, Woodrow Wilson (from Beck), Obama....Etc. Etc. while they forget to mention BP's corner cutting safety violations (oops... the cons now say those didn't contribute to the leak at all) Only 2 months and Rush & friends have been able to shift blame from the actual cause to those who had tried to warn the people about the risks of drilling... scary.

  • @ThomasJH268 How about Obama denying aid from both Dutch and Norweigen countries that have offered to use machinery specifcally to clean up oil back in April? Read the Jones Act buddy. Who cares about who is blaming who, how about doing something instead of pointing fingers? It's all about who can put the more blame on the other these days...

  • Bp is Obama's friends. Why would he prosecute his own buddies?

  • what do we have to fight that spill, all thats been done so far is people on boats cleaning the surface of the water. the golf is fucked right now and is for a long time ause i dont see a solution to clean the oil under the surface, obama you are surely talking out your ass....

  • alot of people dont realize what obama has actually done. He has actually done more so far in his first term than most presidents have done in a whole term, he just doesn't tell us when he does it and sneaks it through without any disturbance. You may disagree with me, but just look into it and you will see what I am saying. His technique is genius, you may think I am wrong, but look into it.

  • tyt get off of youtube your an idiot

  • @DoublePines

    "TYT" isnt actually a person or someone you can insult. good try tho.

  • HAHAHAHA people still believe "this guy". Obama you are fucking puppet and it is so obvious.

  • I think we need to send Chuck Norris. He can fix it!!! LOL

  • lies lies

  • We need to hang more iron in this country

  • Hey obama those clean energy jobs that should be in america instead of china are over there because of you. youve let all out sourceing get out of control. AND EVERYONE YOU NOW KNOW OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST CAUSE HES ALL FOR CHINA!!!

  • @piwildcat Three words for you: SHUT UP FOO!

    Honestly, do you have a BRAIN... ?

  • @piwildcat I'm sure Bush would do a better job.

  • @piwildcat WOW are you serious? How did he outsource our jobs in 1 1/2 years. You sound stupid...I'm saying you are buuttt... You don't make sense. Our jobs have been being outsourced for at least the last 20 years. Give me a break and please criticize him on something else.

  • @piwildcat

    The President doesn't send jobs anywhere, CEOs running the big corporations do that. There haven't been any changes in out sourcing regulations since the Reagan administration, when Ronny made it easier for companies to set up in foreign nations. Sorry; you can still think he's a communist if you want to.

  • @piwildcat Try again troll.

  • I don't care about China and their eco-friendly jobs. Im not sure how he is trying to relate that to fixing an oil spill, but then again it is Obama.

  • @soccerpro543 he is subtly promoting his energy solution

  • @soccerpro543 I agree with you on China. It's such a lie, Red Chine still uses lead in their gasoline and paints. Not to mention they still use fluorocarbon in aerosols. Eco Friendly Please. It's like we live in the Matrix.

  • @soccerpro543 Did Obama just cite China as an eco-friendly nation? What a joke. China is a country that rejects every single environmental policy it is presented with.

    Obama must have never flown into Shang-hai. You can't even see it from the air, the smog is so thick.

  • @soccerpro543

    You must be kidding. I mean, you know he's saying that China's eco-friendly jobs are an good example for our energy industry to learn from. And I KNOW you know that he's saying that in the future if we're using clean energy, it will eventually make spills like this a thing of the past. You did get that, right? It may have been a standard feel good speech, but he made those points pretty clear, I think.

  • hi my name i barack obama and i spilled hundreds of billions of toxic oil into the ocean and i aprove this message

  • @johngorgis Yeah because HE spilled all that oil. Dumb fuck.

  • @WeAreAnonymous1000 search bp staged oil spill

  • @johngorgis BULL SHIT.

  • @johngorgis Identity theft is illegal you know =P

  • Oh, I forgot to say the admin. line....it's Bush's fault!! Ha-ha-ha You liberals are pathetic, two-faced whores !!

  • I love it when Obama demonstrates his incompetence. It's like he's grabbing a megaphone and proclaiming " I'm a complete idiot. My inexperience shows itself day after day. I have absolutely no experience in managing anything,just ask Michele. I can't believe the American ppl elected me, it's all their fault."

    IMPEACH THE FOOL for SPEWING THE OIL !!

  • Where is the state of emergency, this is crimminal. All politicains should go to jail now. End corporations, end the FED, restore our money printing abilities like the Constitution says we can do. Corruptions is evil.

  • What a loser!

  • I still can't believe that people voted for this jerk in the first place. Time after time he has demonstrated his inability to do just about anything except read off the telepromter and even that talent has come into question more than once. We need someone that knows how to at least run a business and make decisions. This guy is useless.

  • Obama is unable to run our country. He is a joke.

  • obama is a joke

  • When will liberals realize all their savior can do is make a speech or should I say read a speech someone else wrote. All talk, no action. They deliberately told other nations not to help us. they screwed around and told people not to build sand dunes, until it was too late. They are intentionally trying to destroy the gulf and America. Americans have to stand up and save yourselves. Stand up to these thug criminal imcompetent liars and forget them. Forget their crap. They are irrelevant.

  • @MotionFrequency

    Probably when the conservatives realize their elected politicians love hookers and scamming the shit out of them.

  • @MotionFrequency Repubs are less relevant. 2 party system is broken.

  • @Xerxes4242 The entire system is broke. 

  • LISTEN . THIS OBAMA COCKSUCKER IS TRYING TO TAKE THE TOPIC OFF OF HIMSELF, HOW HE HAS FUCKING FAILED AS A PRESIDENT. AND YOU BUY IT.

  • @jeremy208

    You realize he just finished the 20 Billion dollar settlement deal with BP, right? He just gave a really stupid speech the night before.

  • LISTEN . THIS OBAMA COCKSUCKER IS TRYING TO TAKE THE TOPIC OFF OF HIMSELF, HOW HE HAS FUCKING FAILED AS A PRESIDENT. AND YOU BUY IT.

  • So right wingers just blindly hate. But at least left wingers have a rational reason for their hate. This guy is so biased.

  • HEY YOUNG TERDS- Obama lied about the oil reserves....by like..a.lot. When will you terds wake up and realize you are deranged idiots and sissies? At least MY site has the TRUTH on it- see idiots4obama com

  • @IdiotsForObamaCom Your name suits you.

  • Doesn't it!!??! It so rocks because when we picked the name, we knew it was a matter of time before even liberals would themselves realize just how fuking dumb they used to be,lol...EFFIN IDIOTS. How did they become so dumb? See idiots4obama com and 'de-idiotize' yourself.

  • i`m not religiouse but for a moment i belive in divine justice. Now a litlle slogan just for America. " REMENBER QUIOTO "

  • Funny how people from the left are clammering for "SPECIFICS" now.

    This moron talk and talk and talk about HOPE and CHANGE since his campaign began and NO BODY knows wants to know the "specifics" or what he talked about.

    Everybody just like this guy because they think he looks good on camera and on stage and he is a cool dude, good at speaking and making rhetoric.

    Cenk, you are part of that crowd. You voted and supported him. Live with it and stop complaining.

    HAHAHAHA!!

  • @john6echo youre a fucking idiot

  • @john6echo

    People voted for him because he spoke about issues that are of real concern, and pledged to reform government and tackle problems in a meaningful way, not just cut deals with special interests. Those people are opposing him now because he hasn't delivered.

  • less talkie, more action.

  • monday night quaterbacking

  • I haven't seen the speech, and I'm not planning to. Fewer speeches, more action.

  • @coopclauson it was one speech idiot

  • @GermanMonkey16

    First, you shouldn't call people idiots.

    Second, I'm commenting on a general trend. Obama delivers excellent speeches, but they're not tied to policy--consider his opposition to prescription drug importation, public option, and single payer. He opposed all of these measures while delivering speech after speech on the importance of affordable, accessible healthcare.

    He always gives a good speech--but I've stopped finding them credible, so I don't tune in to them anymore.

  • It's ok to live man.

  • He almost looks chroma keyed (green-screened).

  • The total lack of competence of President Obama doesn't suprise me. What suprises me is how many people were fooled by the "hope and change" mantra he preached throughout his campaign.

    I saw, even back then, that this guy was an empty suit. Talking about changing things is great, but you've got to have a plan to back it up, and Obama never did. Obama knew how to run a brilliant campaign, but running a country is a lot different.

  • ENOUGH... tea party every one of these incumbant cocksuckers right the fuck out!

    OMG

    Novembers coming

    OMG!!!

  • @superphi,Do you like rock music?

    ANY form of it?

    Thank a black man today.

  • Obama is just another corporate shill.

    The New Coke, it's all marketing and brand names, no change.

  • isn't Mexico affected by this spill too? or is it just the states?

  • @Joxman2k

    Depends on the currents.

    Also Cuba and the Bahamas.

  • @sdrawkcabgnipytmi

    Will it affect Mexico?

    How much is set aside for that?

  • @Joxman2k

    I don't know.

    watch?v=pE-1G_476nA

    That will give you some idea. But as the video says, it's not a forecast, only what might happen.

    Will the US pay for damages to other countries? That's a good question. I have absolutely no idea. I hope the damage is limited to the US as far as that's possible.

  • @sdrawkcabgnipytmi

    it's ok to die

  • @Joxman2k

    yea, why wouldn't it be?

  • @sdrawkcabgnipytmi

    Me dumb...

  • @Joxman2k

    happens to the best of us...

  • @Joxman2k it would be great for you to shut the fuck up right about now

  • Ahhhhh.....still an empty suit. What I miss the most are those who still support this jack-ass. It saddens me that the "give me govt cheese", "my hand is out so fill it Barack" people have all disappeared. Even the Obama pimps on MSNBC have turned their backs. I suppose the younf turd here will never get up off HIS knees but those who have finally come to see the light now know Obama really is the Prince of Fools!

  • @rainiertx watch "Obama protects ceo pay (& screws shareholders)"

    Cenk is calling obama out.

  • The Danish Government offered to help retrieve the oil that was leaking into the Gulf. The President has rejected this offer from the beggining. That is irresponsible. Mr. President you told BP to handle this and did not ask the leaders of BP directly what they were doing to resolve this issue. Daily updates would be nice. This didn't happen. You turned this over to BP and did nothing but blame BP. You left them in charge and didn't follow up. Great Leadership MR. President,

  • @superphi You know what? Thats rubbish. It has NOTHING to do with color. Look at Bush! He's as white as you are. So was clinton & bush & Reagan all before them. Obama is also reportedly half white btw.

    The war isn't/shouldn't be about black vs white. It should be about all (white, asian, black, native etc) against the Elitists (Many Jews & zionists rule the upper crust...yet they are strikingly mostly white (so-called "jewish" or not).

  • I dunno. I give up; all hail Israel I guess.

    Can I get my payout now please?

  • Hold the ponies here...who is handling the money pay outs? You didn't say Kenneth Feinberg did you? Because I thought you did...you couldn't have been suggesting the Jewish 9/11 Cover Up Arbitrator, Kenneth Feinberg? That one?

    Ohhh boy.

    Cenk, ever see the Lucille Ball show? Cuz you got some 'splainin ta do!

    How is using this mole a good thing for anything or anyone?

    Feinberg selected dual US/Israel citizen & Judge Alvin Hellerstein as the sole judge to handle all of the 9/11 victims’ cases.

  • How can BP "Pay" for even 1 dolphin? Seriously, how? How do you turn the environment & it's inhabitants into US dollars? You are a very sick, twisted little man.

    How much money did BP pay you? What about Goldman Sachs?

    Obama, you had a chance to do something great; but you wanted to serve your masters & become no different than Bush, Clinton, Bush etc before you.

    Right & left are meaningless. You, like your many predecessors are TRAITORS...not only to the USA, but to humanity.

  • How the heck can he hire someone on a part time basis to deal with the gulf cleanup and restoration? This proves he is incompetant. He uses the anology of the gulf to fighting a way, says he will do whatever it takes, and then he hires a part timer ? Omg heaven help us,

  • actons? Hire a part timer who runs the navy to organize the gulf cleanup?,. Anyone with a brian in their head knows this articulate guy has no idea how to run a country He delegates everything so he can blame others, He has no administrative skills, and this delegation to a part timer proves it. How the heck do we get rid of this waste of a President. This makes me think of a house burning down, and the fireman comes to put it out with water pistols

  • @jerseyjoe99982002 I hope that you have had this attitude with the last administration also!

  • @Jaywilly24 Yeah; I here ya. Isn't interesting how every year there are the "suddenly smart" people and the "suddenly stupid" people. I didn't even vote for Obama; not at all actually, first time ever. BUT, he at least talks a game in the best interest of a majority of Americans. He's not soft on corporate fuck-ups or inefficient /corrupt government when he speaks. It's the balance America yearns for; always has, but seldom gets. I think the jury is still out on this Prez.

  • BP has to pay for everything, the companies CEO to its regional managers pay half there income for the damages of the Gulf. PERIOD!!!

  • He IS that naive.

    We've been trying 2 get u 2 see that since the Dem Primaries.

    Empty rhetoric, judging him on what he does & doesn't do.

    HE'S NEVER MANAGED OR DONE ANYTHING IN HIS NATURAL LIFE!

    HELL YEAH U SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THAT BEFORE U ELECTED THIS INEXPERIENCED, EMPTY-SUIT, PUPPET of the Federal Reserve/World Bankster owned 2 party system. We tried & tried to warn u Obama ins't a visionary nor a leader.

    A whole generation of ppl living in fantasy world-'hope' over 'experience & results'

  • he is just dancing with who he came to the party with lol. his speaking ability is what got him elected and its what he is going to try to use as a response to everything

  • TYT actually aren't dick riding Obama this time around? WOW! SHOCKING!

  • This $20 billion escrow fund is nothing but a big scam. People who file a claim with BP have to pay a tax on the money they receive from BP. People who are going out of business, whos lives are ruined by this spill have to pay a tax on that money? Its nothing but a big money making scam for the govt. Then Obama has the nerve to bring up Cap and Trade and try to shove that down our throats as well. As Rahm said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."

  • @mexisxfamousxstylzz Yeah. Hes the antichrist. If you're serious you have a mental disorder. But the only thing Obama is a GIGANTIC disappointment.

  • I wish Obama made the Maddow speech.

  • Keith Olbermann criticized Obama pretty hard, and it resulted in a bit of a firestorm at the Daily Kos. With that, Olbermann decided to stop blogging there because people commenting on Olbermann's point were making up conspiracy theories about him getting paid by NBC to say something and find a way to go after Obama. I'm just curious what Cenk thinks about this, seeing as how he posts on DKos, as well. It's just interesting to see the left disagrees with the left so much on this whole thing.

  • I love how reluctantly Cenk is willing to give Obama credit for putting pressure on BP to make the concessions they have. And it's absolutely adorable how the Republicans are attacking Obama for "putting his foot on the throat of BP and forcing them to take responsibility for their wrecklessness". I thought they liked decisive leadership? I thought he was a "weak" president? But when he uses his leverage to push forth action, then he's oppressive. And now he's getting hit from both left & right!

  • @armonocracy

    Also with that, Obama initially made this BP's responsibility (folding to the Republican idea on no govt interference). now I thought this was stupid BUT when Republicans say leave businesses alone, but when they fuck up, help them immediately or you are bad! My issue with Obama is he is trying to be friends with everyone, folding to Republicans. They still do not like him and the entire left is shitting bricks out of anger for him.

  • I used to support him and then he used to come across as an inactive president. but now again I sympathize with him. at this point there isn't really anything he can do. the people in gulf coast that he is trying to help have themselves turned against him. the right wing people hate him just for being black. I am sure he would have rammed through a clean energy bill but the right wing are so violently opposed to even the slightest indication of any bill. but i would blame him for lacking balls

  • wow did anyone notice that my comment was removed by TYT??

  • funny how BP's gas was 30 cents more a gallon than the Shell across the street today. that gives me *two* reasons to not buy BP gasoline.

  • His vague solution was also proposed nearly word for word, by Bush, Clinton, Bush, Carter, Reagan, Ford, and Nixon. They have also proposed getting America off of foreign oil, creating a renewable energy supply, switching more to solar. Nothing was ever done, why would anything be done now? he's just using tried and true speech told time and time again to the American public for almost 40 years now.

  • Why don't we start doing something without the help of the government? We aren't totally helpless.

  • @Frostlander

    Are you going to make BP pay for the spill?

  • @captainspirou

    I would certainly like to.

  • cenk trying to tell people not to think everything obama does is bad (after bitching about everything he does)....is like glenn beck trying to say that he didn't say obama was racist....after he claimed he had a deep hatred of white people....it's too little too late to backtrack now... and nobodies buying it....the people who want to believe it already do...and the ones you have influenced do as well....and the rest of us don't care what you say because we see what you're all about

  • if sarah palin were president she would have already fixed that spill

  • cenk claims that the right criticized the speech because obama gave it...and then the left / he proceeds to criticize obama because he gave a speech....both the left and right are ridiculous to me....obama can't EVER do right in their eyes...when he gives specifics in his speeches...they whine that he was boring and not inspirational enough....when he tries to inspire people they whine that he didn't give enough specifics....TYT and the rest of the bitch fest media are useless to me

  • Frankly I am SICK of the criticism of the Pres. I has been non-stop since BEFORE day one! It is constant and imo it is almost unreasonably annoying. He has been going at his own pace, he is not being pressured. It is easy to criticize when you are not in the seat. Notice the former presidents have not been criticizing him at all. because they know. Even Cenk is getting on my nerves. The constant whining...he's just one man and he is just a human. Get over it. geez.

  • ive been saying what obama is saying for years. energy crisis isn't being blown up enough imo. think about it; our entire world is controlled by oil. transportation, the one thing the last two centuries were never phased with, is threatened. the fact you got fresh grapes at jewel..... oil. the fact you are browsing new laptops at bestbuy... oil.

    without oil, the world shuts down.

  • obama needs stop by the buffet often ..doesnt the white house have a work out room?..mans a skeleton

  • @fashizze yeah, i think obama is losing weight.. but your one FATASS!!

  • @SuperHumanPerfect cocksucker you don't know what the hell i look like ..i'm fat ass huh..at 6'3 247 i don't think

  • @fashizze your a FATASS!! so stfu and stuff your face with food already.. geez..

  • He should declare marshall law, get world's best scientists on this project, get bp to pay for the entire tab on this problem, stop all off-shore drilling and train "oil cleaners" now!

    For added Obama points: start drastically increasing science research grants! This is the reason we don't have the oil-eating bacteria that a Rutger's project in the 80's was working on. Grant money ran out before the results.

  • @reiko911 money money money just throw money at it and all is well, the foolish liberal philosophy

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • then stop killing anyone with "real free" energy inventions. if they can't make money off anything they have no interest.

  • We don't need another third party to run their fingers through any money. If so, can I get a Job?

  • wow abama is really just one big asshole.

  • Instead of blaming Obama why don't we try to fix this problem and make the people who caused this catastrophe pay for their actions.

  • Obama only has his rhetoric.

  • This speech isn't bad at all. He doesn't say what we will do? What the @#$% do you expect him to say? Do you want him to plug the well himself? People don't realize that there isn't really anything he CAN do. When else has an oil spill such as this been blocked successfully. Also for the record he does have long term solutions which should have been started years ago such as solar power. I mean this is the kind of disaster that you can only hope to prevent but not fix instantly.

  • I AM NOT A RIGHT WINGER OR WORST A LEFT WINGER

    I JUST HATE HOW EVERYBODY BELIEVES THAT OBAMA COULD DO NO WRONG BECAUSE OF WHAT BUSH DID IN THE PAST

  • When Republicans slammed Obama for not having enough experience, I stood up for him saying that it didn't really matter.

    Now I have learned so much over the last two years it blows my mind. His idea of bipartisanship is a pipe dream.

  • FUCK LOBBYISTS!!!

    can't we just get the fuck rid of them?!?!

  • 20 billion dollars is no where near enough for this shit. watch?v=uF6UMaOPB3o the cost already hit 12 billion dollars since the spill started. if bp doesn't solve the problem soon it'll go over 20 billion within a month.

  • 1 yr. later.... " Yea were done with the oil spill", "yea now back to the recession"

  • thank you sir, i 'hope' obama watches your opinion on this, cause its dead on. Obama, we want DETAILS.....sherlock.

  • actions speak louder than words, Obama.

  • well said.

  • USA was actually going to take action to get off oil, but then we got stuck with Reagan, and no other president after has even gave it any thought.

  • I doubt that most of that money will ever be paid out and will eventually be returned to BP. Exxon Valdez occurred 20 years ago and the plaintiffs are dying off without getting their money.

  • If we are going to fight this with everything we have for as long as it takes, when are we going to start? weeks? months? years?

  • What a COMPLETE empty suit!!!!

  • Barrack Obama can lick my dick. And you can tell him I said so.
