James Carville Slams Obama on Oil Spill: 'We're About to Die Down Here!' Stephanopoulos spins

[GeneSoskyhWTE]

why do we cause aoil spills by demanding gasoline when we can all live on free quantum power?

energy is free, spread the word for a better world

[joeasmythe]

If owebama burned the American flag on national tv, his base would still vote for him. America is sinking into a pit of quicksand, and we need help.

[MegaRoFLL]

why ppl are dying ?Sorry i don't know the whole story :(

[MrClaysta]

to all who are angered at obama, please consider looking at ron paul for the 2012 election

[flame0731]

I find it funny how the commentors seem to thing James is a righty. Actually he's left of center

[johnrhodes101875]

0:26 cracks me up about to die down heyaaaa god i hate james and big O

[seahorse1945]

Don't expect Obama too do shit- he's not on the side of Louisiana (state with some of the prettiest country side around ) nor is he on America's side----he's on his on side. Lets drop him on his head politically and Vote him Out along with the do nothing Liberals. JObs for Americans-- kick out the illegals.

[bluedemon245]

Of course James is being critical of obama he's always been a clinton puppet. I'm not a fan of muslim goat herder from Kenya. clinton is the lesser of the two evils

[crunchzor]

We're about to die out HEEYA!

[zzzaaa09900]

Bhopal disaster, India 1984, American company Union Carbide = 16,000 dead

but America not to blame,

Piper Alpha disaster, North Sea 1988, American company Occidental Petroleum = 167 dead

but America not to blame

[seahorse1945]

@zzzaaa09900 I've worked with engineers from OXY as it is known in the Oklahoma Oil and Gas world-- They had a big building in downtown Tulsa Okla. that had been vacant for years and years. The people I had to work with from that company were the greediest, most disagreeable, least professional people I ever met.

[000MrAnderson]

A criminal ivestigation into BP? They just got a safetey award from the adminitration 1 month before the spill. This well did.

[Thanatos4655]

This is a private corporation fault not Obama's

[jackandjanie1]

obama is a jerkoff ! so is congress , wake up people it's time to shake them up bigtime , we need a revolution

[peaco1000]

@jackandjanie1 'We need a revolution'. What a hero you are! What a visionary! The government has been legitimately and democratically elected, it is not a tyranny. Get over yourself.

[yakkahDotCom]

I enjoyed the video none the less :]

[ConservativeRuleinUS]

This Obama is the biggest fraud upon the USA, ever.

[SulleM07]

@ConservativeRuleinUS yes I agree. I am from Europe, and when I heard, that Obama compared this cathastrophic event with the 9/11 i began to laugh a bit, because he didn´t react until the people forced him to it. He is just a corrupt demagogue like most other politicians except perhaps Kennedy, but he also payed the ultimate price for it. I have very little faith in politicians in Europe or USA, but power as you know attracts the worst and most corrupt and devious kind of personalities.

[ConservativeRuleinUS]

@SulleM07: yes, you are correct, also. It's just that never before has a president gone out of his way in the campaigning to say that he is SO TRANSPARENT, and then we he assumed office, he's been the most secretive and closed-door president we've had. This Obama is dangerous.

[vivalanidiot10]

@ConservativeRuleinUS i think bush was worse

[240SSONLY]

WE NEED COCA COLA TO STEP IN.... WE NEED MC DONALDS TO STEP IN.... WE NEED WALLMART TO STEP IN..... AS A WORLD WE ALL NEED TO STEP IN....

WOW WHY DOESNT ANY ONE SEE IT LIKE THIS

FUCK BP.... that sad part is.... we dont know how many others are leaking and how much they leak a day...

certain spill is okay... but not at this rate

[teribull]

The idiots who agree with Carville's hyperbole need to take a pill.

Katrina death toll:1836 human beings.

BP spill: Humans - 0, Fish- several million, birds- unknown

[goodsenseofhumor]

@teribull you are wrong, dead wrong, so inaccurate. pathetic reaction to this tragedy!!!

[1freedomfighter11]

@teribull 2 people have already dies from the cortex they are spraying and it will get worse if they are not stoped.

[olumorador]

way to go, james. i hate to admit it, but i agree with you 100%.

[olumorador]

way to go, james. i hate to admit it, but i agree with you a 100%.

bp oil leak build the wall solution --- youtube.com/watch?v=G1vW43AHdT­I

[baerdog2003]

Holy Crap - I am actually agreeing with James Carville? Now that the afternoon thunderstorms are actually bringing in oil particulates from the gulf, perhaps it will put further pressure on the President to put together a comprehensive task force to address the clean up. Letting BP run this is ludicrous.

[BMD101]

TKO,

This oil spill put Obummer and the Democrats down for the count....

[XtremeDance10]

oil spill is part of the end of the word, and i say part, who knows whats next.

[BMD101]

@XtremeDance10 Gotta fear the end of the 'WORD',

WORD up G....

[RaynorX]

@XtremeDance10 people have been saying that since the beginning of history and it hasn't happened yet. Instead of always looking for an end do something constructive NOW.

[wendyamck]

I never thought I'd say this...but, for the very first time, I like you James Carville! At least for this comment anyway. You put your state before your democratic party, when do you ever see that? Good for you! Maybe you're starting to see the light? Although, I'm not holding my breath...

[Oathblivion]

If what I've heard about the Corexit coverup is true, then I couldn't agree more.

[lv2surf]

Dead On In the 1st week of this spill companys and countries with the manpower and equipment to contain the oil called our Gov to help not 1 got a phone call back, Plenty of time for blame and finger pointing later, Obamas lack of leadership and ability to handle a crisis shine like the Brightest star EVER! . Its So sad It will take MANY years 4 the gulf to recover.

[dvazzy]

@lv2surf Name one company and it's idea that would contain the spill that has been proven to work but not used.

[lv2surf]

@dvazzy 28 foreign countries and international organizations have offered help in responding to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill but the bulk of those overtures remain under consideration On May 10 for example the UAE offered to send oil skimmers dispersant and containment boom along with human and technical support No contact or decision had been made on any of those propositions Shell Oil had much containment success in past Nobody contacted them???



[dvazzy]

@lv2surf Similar methods are already being used as for foreign help being turned down, have a look at googleDOTcom/hostednews/ap/art­icle/ALeqM5inKY7pPzl_Ro9FUC2qN­56oflzqFAD9GDSCT01

[lv2surf]

@dvazzy Keep in mind all this help was offered in the first stages of this leak Its going to take sometime to stop the flow due to depth, But if these people had been put in place experts said 85% of the oil on the beaches could have been contained and continued to be contained right now Our new Big Gov has failed the American people& this is and will be the worst spill/leak in modern history It will take decades for the Gulf to recover!!!

[lv2surf]

@dvazzy I sell boats and Yachts . I was working with a Smaller Company that handles spills, I had 12 large vessels for them on standby to work the spill, They got so frustrated trying to cut Gov red tape and BPs BS. They packed up and went home this was weeks ago. There were many companys just like this ready to work from day 1, In just a few days me in my house on the computer and phone found dozens of crews/ships ready to work on this spill weeks ago. I wish I could have been put in charge!!

[dvazzy]

@lv2surf I applaud your effort seriously I do but I could only assume the red tape is made of steel for a reason, possibly that allowing a privateer clean up effort creates such catastrophic liability not only on BP but Government liability if one of you god forbid dies, would create such a shit storm among the people it would therefore hinder current efforts in process. But if I were you and had those resources I wouldn't be asking permission, do what you know is right.

[lv2surf]

@dvazzy It just make no sence So much help was offered by People trained and with a proven record of containment forget liability look at the eco damage sign a waiver if your private, The Pres has executive power to do anything in this situation If he would have acted with resources at hand 85% of the oil never would have made land and containmant of the flow could be in place while they figure how to plug that pipe, Yes BPs the bad guy but our Gov put about a 2% effert into containment.

[dvazzy]

@lv2surf If compensation is an issue simply bill BP and your local Government offices, I mean they got so much crap going on they would probably cut you a check no questions asked thinking you're a out of work Fisherman

[lv2surf]

@dvazzy Yes but its too little too late The lack of leadership and impotence in this current administration is off the chart They were finger pointing when they had a window of opportunity for containment As a ex Gulf resident, Yes BP is to blame but this was the ulitmate proving grounds for Obama and he failed again big time Playing golf and keeping a social agenda during the most critical time to act. Im still making calls & trying to get more vessels involved , Good luck & Good Day!

[AdmiralChaos99]

This guy is a whacko, but he does sort of have a point,, the " people are dien" is VERY dramatic, maybe he just has to much sun on his bald head

[SolutionSpill]

I have the solution to the Oil Spill. I need you to help forward my videos into the hands of someone at the White House or BP. Thank You, my solution will work NO DOUBT. Please Help before all Sea life dies out in the Gulf of Mexico. GET INVOLVED! Go watch my videos on my home page (in two parts) now and pass on to everyone you know.

[joshthecoopman]

Poor president Obama is learning what we knew all along--that the government can't fix everything it wishes it could. Taught as children, "all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put humpty together again".

[jacobsky18]

@joshthecoopman Yeah your right but if it was Bush in office people wouldnt think twice but to accuse him and put the blame into his hands.

[taurran]

agree.....

[datzfast]

13000 hits well its safe to say not one fucking democrat has seen this.

[dvazzy]

excuse me but there is an investigation Obama did get involved and nobody is freaking dieing wth is wrong with you Carville are you getting your disasters confused are you having Katrina flashbacks? I mean it's not like Obama is having a F'ng holiday since he started his presidency the man has got more crap on his plate too try and repair in this country then Bush did in his entire 8 years of in office allowing and helping bury this country.

[jacobsky18]

@dvazzy Yeah and Bush had to deal with all the shit that Clinton did while he was in office. 

[dvazzy]

@jacobsky18 Yeah it did take his entire administration to undo the surplus we had to crash or housing and banking industry all while holding up the walls to the room used to inflate the markets and watch them fall on everyone that had a net worth less than a cool million. You are right my friend he was busy, busy ensuring that this country provided for him and his friends.

[vv901vv901]

@dvazzy

Don't buy into this manipulative soapy media blame-game. People ARE dying as the spill is more out of control than ever. There are tons of gases in the air.

The BP drama is just a distraction from the largest man-made disaster known to us.

Documents prove that this is just as planned as 9/11; another soulless false flag deal to raise taxes on oil and water.

Journalists are being denied investigation and the government refuse offers of international help to stop this global disaster.

[dvazzy]

@vv901vv901 I don't buy anything I don't want and that includes your foolish opinions on this matter. Quack conspiracy theorist crap you spew is worse than his dramatized cry for help just to get his ugly mug on TV.

[vv901vv901]

@dvazzy

OK, you're right; the six corporations that own mass-media and the world bank wish to give the public a truthful reflection of reality; they don't use propaganda to implant fear and hatred in people, they don't arm nations to make money off of dead soldiers because they don't want more power. That's all just what the ruling class have done since forever up until the end of WW2, right? Now they're all about peace and serving the public for our own good, with synthetic food and chemtrails.

[RodneyAHampton]

They're dead already, they just don't know it. If you live on the LA coast, time to pack up and move somewhere. Grieve later.

[ePhilosopher9]

takes a lame democrat to tell a kenyan born democrat that they're progressives .... people are dying. sasha and mahleah first.

[TUBEORATER]

"The American people should know that from the moment this disaster began, the federal government has been in charge of the response effort," Obama told a news conference. He was responding to criticism that his administration had been slow to act and had left BP in charge of plugging the leak.

Obama said many critics failed to realize "this has been our highest priority."

He conceded that "people are going to be frustrated until it stops."

[TUBEORATER]

Obama said many critics failed to realize "this has been our highest priority."

He conceded that "people are going to be frustrated until it stops."

Obama announced a series of new steps to deal with the aftermath of the spill, including continuing a moratorium on drilling permits for six months.

He also said he was suspending planned exploration drilling off the coasts of Alaska and Virginia and on 33 wells currently being drilled in the Gulf of Mexico.

[DubiousJackson]

how is it obamas fault though? isnt it you know, BP's fault, it being their oil spill and all. they are responsible, not obama.

[dalmatian847]

@DubiousJackson There is a federal law regarding oil spills that puts the POTUS as directly in charge of claen up operations and command.

Instead he punted to BP, while ignoring state officials requests for federal permits to set up the necessary protections on the grounds that it " might have an adverse affect on the environment". Say what???

What part of Obama saying "I take responsibility for this" did you not comprehend?

[TUBEORATER]

@DubiousJackson

Think again

[MrDampkring]

This guy looks like he can play the villain in the next Bond movie.

[MrDampkring]

I just saw this on Have I Got More News for You and this guy cracks me up. Hope you guys manage to get that oil cleaned up though.

[360whiplash]

I'm surprised the Obamabots have'nt accused Carville of racism for his remarks.

[dalmatian847]

@360whiplash Give it time, it's still early!

[indianastan]

Go ahead Barry overract and punish all these EVIL oil companies and watch gas go to $5 a gallon on YOUR watch. then it will be bye bye Barry

[redsox4567]

we re gone dye down

[TheSnailSugar]

Learn it. Live it. This is Obama's Katrina

[dvazzy]

@TheSnailSugar

You are ignorant and careless for making such a remark, don't belittle what was lost during and in the aftermath of Katrina they deserve more respect than that.

[Haarmonics]

Revelation 16:3

[Haarmonics]

James Carville FINALLY sees a glimps of what Obama is made of...bout damn time. Obama is useless. *NO*bama in 2012. This ongoing oil spill is going to poison the Gulf in its entirety, then it will spread to the REST of the 1/3rd of the worlds ocean. "like the blood of a dead man" (rust red dried blood - seems pretty clear to me)

[investorspolldotcom]

Message To Democrats: In the words of Barack Obama's esteemed Pastor Jeremiah Wright, YOUR CHICKENS AH! ARE COMING HOOOOOOOOOOOOME! TO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!

[explainingwhy]

Dear folks,

1] Most Black are foolish for they speak lies covering the truth of God to project false accusation against anyone that does not lie being racist !

2] Most Black are ungrateful to God who led the White Christians to fight against slavery setting free Black from slavery in USA &

3] God brought the Black to USA for the purpose of setting the Black free from voodoo and sodomy which are still practised in Africa, but they are destroying USA!

AMEN=TRULY

[explainingwhy]

@larrynod

James Caville has not been righteous. Now he is angry with Obama whom he helped to be elected as President.

READ: "@ JDD1581:

To say that all politicians lie in order to justify lying IS NO JUSTIFICATION IN THE EYES OF GOD.

The only way to justify LYING is to repent the sin of lying by confession to Jesus for forgiveness.

God say:

1] in Exodus 20: 16 that no one shall bear false witness ... &

2] in Revelation 21: 8 that ALL LIARS WILL GO TO HELL! ".

AMEN

[whiteliberal1]

I'm not trying to start any arguments with any of you. But, can anyone PLEASE tell me where I can find a video with James Carville bitching about the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. I'm interested to know if he was this adamant about that disaster. After all, the storm went right through New Orleans.

[NiceGuyNY]

hilarious! 

[dkkght46]

Why doesn't the Obama just snap his fingers and fix the oil leak, how come we are still engaged in two wars? he should have taken care of the financial problem by now! What is taken him so long to fix these little problems. Does the world love us more. What happened? Obama is the quick f**ker upper

[spitoutthekoolaid]

All Carville cares about is chipping away at Obama to help get Hilary elected. (Which is fine with me) Some of you commenters need to quit being naive and see what Carville is really doing. He doesn't care about Obama not being there.

[decideyorownfate]

"We're about to die down here"? The oil spill is terrible, bu just a little dramatic. Dont you think?

[Macedon51]

@decideyorownfate

Not at all dramatic, this spill means death. It is not only oil but gas as well. The "smell' is toxic, people are already having breathing issues. It will kill the eco system, the animals and plants. It will infiltrate the water supply. Bad weather will mean opportunity for fires from lightnings......

[decideyorownfate]

@Macedon51 I just mean I havent heard any reports of people dying yet anyway... Not like I support oil spills. lol

[DABIGRAGU1]

Furthermore, what's with the 3 separate congressional committee's trying to get to the bottom of the cause and what's being done? Dragging BP Execs off the job. Anyone who runs a business knows you fix the problem first THEN go through discovery. Politicians have no freak'in idea how to run a business. And to think some "progressives" see this as a sign that Free Market Capitalism doesn't work and are suggesting a government takeover of the oil industry. Complete classroom Ideology.

[10dubious]

Obama Hates Fish People!

[iamavet]

Obama White House is in charge of the oil disaster ??

Well it is a good thing America is not getting invaded from Mexico because Obama would wait 30 days and have to create a study commission before he would take action. Oh wait America is being invaded from Mexico and nothing is being done.

Obama's solution will be to recommend Green power -- FUBAR.

[Aprilmax010]

James, Obama is busy. If you want to clean up the Gulf Coast, come up with a plan and do it yourself. Obama is busy planning his vacation and then his place in the NWO. Our problems are not important to him. Wake Up!

[thomante]

Behold! Southern Dem Establishment meets Neo-Liberal!

[sonotnews]

FUNNY - HOW TO FIXX OIL SPILL :)

watch?v=YlwifPRsE8w

[TheChgoBroker]

You are absolutely right James! Very disappointed in this president's response to a national disaster. I think worse than GW's response to Katrina. Where is the government's accountability on behalf of the families being impacted everyday? Where is the Army Corp of Engineers? Pathetic. Sorry I voted for him, and I won't make that mistake again.

[tubular87]

@TheChgoBroker You're a partisan hack. Many people died and suffered in Katrina, in their football stadium they died and starved without any relief. People were on their roofs and paddling through the streets. None of that is happening here. You don't even know what resources Obama has sent to the Gulf and I highly doubt you voted for him.

[realvipul]

@TheChgoBroker im not an expert but there are laws n if for example US gov take chanrge, Then BP will slip out of its resposibility. its very easy for you to make 'smart" comments. but real life is much more complicated.

Majority of Americans want more n cheap oil....now target just one guy?

[Aprilmax010]

@realvipul IBP will continue to stop the oil leak. It is the President's job to clean up the pollution from the oil spill, the oil. The president is not doing his job in protecting the US from oil that is killing our fish, other wildlife and harming the enviornment. Not to mentiion the jobs and the economy that are affected in this area. Do we really need more unemployment?

[pezman1963]

I'm no fan of Carville. In fact I'm life long Republican. He absolutely correct here.

My question is why hasn't the Military and other oil companies been brought in with thier assets to control the spill.

[Macedon51]

@pezman1963

The National Guard was brought in, but the locals complain they are preventing them to put booms. View Billy Nungesser clips. It is amazing if there is a conspiracy to prevent this disaster!

youtube DOT com/watch?v=1jQUfOZTK-Y

[Aprilmax010]

There are a thousand things Obama could do, if he wanted to. He doesn't. You are on your own James.. You better get used to it! Arizona is still on its own.

[Aprilmax010]

James Carville is waking up hopefully. It is about time.

[ESUNintel]

It's times like these that let us know we elected the worst possible candidate into office. It's sad.

[reno93535]

It's Bush's fault. Right Libs?

[fredzepp1]

You can bet your bottom dollar that the administration will use this incident to try to further demonize and damage our vital oil and gas industry. It will be ammunition in the attempt to pass the catastrophically crippling "Cap and Tax" legislation. In that sense maybe there's a method to thier madness.

[dkkght46]

Obama is a disgrace . His administration is corrupt. The stimulus money has gone to foreign banks; dismisses the American citizen; divides its citizens; refuses to seal the border; refuses to uphold the US Constitution; has an affair; destroying our economy; attacks job producers; oppresses the poor; Orwellian policies; considers the US greedy and arrogant; continues Machiavellian tactics. Hows that Hope & Change going?

[jcsrealty]

Dieing? Thats a stretch... Get Woods Hole out there? What the FUGG is Woods Hole going to do? 

[Cassandrea007]

I just love it when these radical Marxist like James Carville start eating their young!!..LOL..Guess his Messiah CAN'T walk on water eh?..The bigger you build them the HARDER they FALL..Fall O'Bow'ma FALL! I am loving this..tee hee

[MrMeridian3]

What a hack. Where was this outrage when people were dying at the Super dome where the majority of the people there were black? You don't fool anyone James, you and your Republican wife playing good cop bad cop on the second most ignorant news channel behind Fox, CNN. God bless the families who lost their loved ones on the oil rig explosion and also the families whose way of life has been damaged by it. Cut the b.s. though, you and your wife are both frauds.

[2010GOP]

@MrMeridian3: Ahhh..... pisses you off someone's speaking ill of your little Thug Obama, huh?

NOW, Carville's a "hack" & it has something to do w/him being married to a Republican. Never mind that he was married to that same Republican while criticizing Bush. HAHAHA!!

People dying at the Superdome was Bush's fault? LOL. 1 died of a suicide, 4 from natural causes & 1 from a drug overdose.

It's not Bush's fault most of those who stuck around New Orleans for some free shit were "black".

[DronetekPolitics]

@MrMeridian3 What alternate dimension do you come from? Bush was SAVAGED for his response to Katrina you raving moron!

[wreckdirect]

@DronetekPolitics my issue is this. if i am a janitor do i need the guy who owns the company to tell me to clean up when something is dirty ?. even when katrina took place i did not blame bush because there are people in positions who get hired for these things and we should never blame any president. rather blame those who get hired for this and sit on their ass like its not their job. Americans over look that all the time.

[DABIGRAGU1]

@DronetekPolitics

Yeah seems as if MrMeridan's channel's gone.

Only hack was himself.

[jbraly]

@DronetekPolitics yeah, Bush takes one week to go to LA and he is destroyed for it. Obama waits almost 2 months to finally talk to the BP exec and the head of the Sierra Club still calls him the most environmentally friendly president ever...

[pezman1963]

@MrMeridian3

This was on ABC news, not CNN or Fox.

[Alexr197]

@MrMeridian3 It wouldn't matter what he or other Republicans would've said, because you and Liberals out there would find something else to criticize him against ("Only now he decides to say something -- it's been 2 hours!" or "Psh, he's just saying that to score political points." You don't care what he or Republicans have to say. Drop the act.

[MrJoeDrager]

Sorry James; you've spewed nothing but partisan bullshit for so many years that no one can take you seriously.

[happygalmarried]

@MrJoeDrager UR FULL OF SHIT!

[larrynod]

AMEN JAMES! Nice to know that some people in this country can criticize a president whom they voted for.

[newyorkeastside]

@larrynod OBAMA'S APPROVAL RATING IS 69% AGAINST OBAMA....BECAUSE FINALLY THE COUNTRY IS SEEING THAT OBAMA IS "GROSSLY" UNQUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.

BY THE WAY NO ONE CARES WHAT HIS SKIN COLOR IS, HE IS UNQUALIFIED TO RUN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE HE HAS NO "EXECUTIVE" EXPERIENCE.

[nc86prod]

It may just me, but it sounds almost like a freestyle. LOL
