Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews Pan Obama's Gulf Oil Spill Speech

[fmckadoo]

Wonder how many jobs were lost in the gulf coast by news media hammering this DISASTER. Did Pensacola, Destin, Panama City....drive your way down the coast really have an issue....Poor TV coverage resulted in job losses, If I were BP I would sue the US media!

[MrJeffreyNeal]

Listen---even Matthews admits that the POTUS does not have the power to demand $20B from BP. So, maybe it was a shakedown?!

[MegaMusicBoi]

White men are white men no matter what party . I knew that they all even Left-wing punks would turn on our black president. Everything is not enough even though he still has accomplished so much in 17months but it's kewl it all will work out for the good....

[mhrnicek]

@MegaMusicBoi : Thanks for your racist comment.

Before you jump at "whitey", consider that 500,000 white men died fighting against slavery in the Civil War 150 years ago.

Consider an alternative explanation: Our President's Policies are wrong, and he is leading us in the wrong direction. He's not evil, or unintelligent--he's just wrong. That's all. The right ideas are smaller government, individual rights, private enterprise, and free market solutions.

[verse419]

@mhrnicek I'm speaking what's the truth the way I see it. Am I racist ? No but I see a big problem in the way this President is being treated. You feel he's going in the wrong direction, I disagree. he has turned a lot around for our country in his time but you guys won't admit it or give him credit for the good things he's done and I have a problem with that. You have your ideas of what's right to you and I have mine.

[poopstreek]

@MegaMusicBoi You are an idiot. Obama is a failure, and in the last 17 months he as taken EVERY problem that W left us with, AND MADE THEM WORSE!!! Open your eyes, join the land of the awake, and alive.

[MegaMusicBoi]

@poopstreek You are the idiot not to understand that everything bad you and your right wing nut jobs hoped for to happen after he took office didn't you punk. Every bad situation that W left us with could have but didn't sink us. If President Obama was so incapable like you and your kind really want to believe, we would have a disaster economic wise one our hand plus all the other accomplishments that's been made. Just go back to your make believe world you jerk....

[poopstreek]

@MegaMusicBoi Obama has taken Bush's (Who I DON"T support) trillion dollar defecit and quadrupled it! How is that not an economic disaster? Obama has expanded W's unconstitutional wars. He signed the unconstitutional Patriot Act that W left us with back into law. You need to understand that you are arguing with a true conservative, not a Republican. Obama has Bush's generals, and military officials, so no changes there, and he gave Bush's Ben Benanke more power at the Fed, so no changes there..

[MegaMusicBoi]

@poopstreek First of all,,,he hasn't quaudrupled it bush's annual debt was like 1.7 trillion and obama's is 1.5 trillion.....You can't defend bush destroying a surplus please.....If bush would not have lied us into to wars Obama would not have to deal with his mess. He said in his campaign that he would persue afganistan and draw down in Iraq ant that's what he's doing. Everything that Obama does I may not like but he's trying to get a lot done and has done a lot already. His jopb is not easy.

[poopstreek]

@MegaMusicBoi Obama is spending more than Bush (who I DON"T support... OR defend) saying otherwise is ignorant. He has also expanded Bush's wars. You, are a drone. Go back to sleep.

[MegaMusicBoi]

@poopstreek You are obviously not awake or coherent because he is scaling back on the wars, get the facts from somewhere else besides foxnews then you will see the steps he's taking to bring our troops home.

[poopstreek]

@MegaMusicBoi I am not a FOX news fan either, why don't you try getting your news from somewhere besides Obama's own website. Bush and Obama have the same handlers. I am awake, you still have the childish belief that Democrats want everyone to be happy, and Republicans want everyone to be sad. The two party system has ruined this country, both parties have sold us out. Also, why are we even in Afghanistan, I thought the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia? Are we looking for WMD's there?

[weseyedwalk]

@MegaMusicBoi Wake up bro, most people that voted for Obama hate him now or at least regret voting for him. People now realize that Bush was simply blamed for a lot of things that were not his fault. Obama has single-handedly destroyed our country.

[weseyedwalk]

@MegaMusicBoi How much damage over the years must happen on Obama's clock before you will actually hold him responsible? at this point by your standards all of Bush's failures were because of Clinton, because lets face it, 911 happened right after Clinton left office, OPEN your eyes, I am not left or right wing, I am 'lets stop being fucking idiots' wing!! Obama is the worst president ever, I don't care what anyone says, quit defending him and join the rest of America.

[MegaMusicBoi]

@weseyedwalk Well I don't care what anybody say's Obama is the most intellectually and intelligent president we've had in a long time. If he was such a disaster this country would be in an unconcievable bad shape but you guys wanna believe that things are worst than the facts are proving. The damage that you speak about is not what everyone else sees. I see a lot of obstruction that's what the rest of the country sees. So you have your views and I have mine, that's the bottom line.

[weseyedwalk]

@MegaMusicBoi I blame idiots like you that vote for people like him that are screwing up the country, that's my view, "intellectually and intelligent" ?? I rest my case. You don't even have the facts anyway. What do you think Bush had to deal with when he took office? 911 happened soon after Clinton left office and now Obama has two wars going on? Why are we still at war? Ever think about that? Why does Obama have two wars going and and yes he did quadruple the deficit from Bush's.

[MegaMusicBoi]

@weseyedwalk No you are the IDIOT....I see that nut jobs like you will never look at the facts and how everything that went wrong in the last ten yrs was because of the republicans failed philosophies. You guys cry about deficits and never acknowledge that it was your party that bankrupted this country. Now Obama has to come in and spend money to revitalize the economy and try to fix your mess at the same time.There are millions upon millions of Americans that are still supporting our president.

[max24ist]

WOW!

[Platewarp]

Keith is waking up! lol Obama is an incompetent, amateur, ill-equipped, inadequate, incapable, ineligible, inexperienced, unequipped, unfit, unprepared, disaster for the USA.

[AutopsyReport22]

@Platewarp "Keith is waking up!" Uh....No. Keith is just wishywashy.

[xep5k]

ahahaha I love being able to say "Told yout so!" Cant wait until November and 2012....

[AutopsyReport22]

@xep5k You can wait until Nov. and 2012 because I have news for you: the next white president you get in office won't be any better than any of the previous presidents you've already had. If you are looking for the perfect president and government then you are disillusioned.

[mhrnicek]

@xep5k: Agreed.

[dkkght46]

Even though I don't pretend to know everything , I've seen enough of Obama to know that when he says, "Every day we fail to act" I reflexively reach for my wallet.

[independentview1]

I think Chris Matthews needs to get some viagra, he has last that Obama thrill in his leg.

[dkkght46]

Listening to this is like listening to Limbaugh, Hannity & levin....Obama has lost the public, game over!

[SparkinNparkin]

We are about to experience major global cooling because hell just froze over.

[stewartcj1]

Obama-bashers would have hated this speech regardless. They would hate Obama if he himself swam down and capped the oil spill. Whereas, this honest criticism from liberals are actually constructive criticisms and questions that can help the administration and should be answered.

[mhrnicek]

@stewartcj1 : I disagree. I, like Michael Medved, believe that Obama is probably a good guy, nice guy, obviously educated, and intelligent. He's also wrong. His policies are wrong, and are leading America in the wrong direction. Having said all that, you might consider me an Obama-basher.

However, I do not write off his speeches, and was particularly inspired by his Democratic nominee acceptance speech. It was excellent. His inaugural speech? Not so much. The BP oil speech? Terrible

[moneymoneymoney84045]

Scary when blinded Liberals finally see the light about Obama...I guess there is still "hope" for America. Is the media love affair with Obama finally over?... Don't hold you breath on that one...

[pastord73]

Didn't Chris Matthews say at one time that he got a thrill up his leg over Barack Obama? I guess Chris' new theme song is BB King's "The Thrill is Gone"

[gwengoad]

Matthews is right put out a call for workers like the CCC and people would be there in hours

[ratsglass29]

These guys are Dweebs always where and always will be. They finally are putting Obama's feet under the bus so he will get run over by the bus that he already threw everyone else under. But, Of course now the have to start to distance theirselves from him before 2012. Also Finally the GOP is fighting back and we can be rid of this LOSER

watch?v=k6urJsX3KX4

[crlchs1]

Howard Fineman asks “who were the assurances from?” regarding why Obama approved offshore oil drilling. It is very telling to also read (wkrg.com 5/6/10) Salazar said, that he understood BP was required to file plans for coping with a blowout at the well that failed. "My understanding is that everything was in its proper place," said Salazar. But the truth was the Feds let BP avoid filing the blowout plan, and he didn't even know it! This administration is dangerous because its clueless..

[ShogunDaitokuji]

It's nice to see the left is start to realize that this guy isn't any good at being a president. I've been counting the days until they woke up and for a while there I thought they were completely blind to what he was(n't) doing.

[pieceomeat]

Obama's speech = Theres millions of gallons of oil spilling out into the gulf, so we need to 1.build windmills 2. tax the public more 3. Create GREEN jobs (even though our model Spain hardly created any and the average cost per job was over $200,000 and their unemployment is 17%. 4. Pass cap and trade so Algore, Soros and my puppet masters can make billions on the energy credits trade. lol Obama fails and it's not even funny anymore. I can't believe he didn't try to pin this on Bush.

[Sean0301]

This video shows something very important that conservatives seem to miss. Liberal Progressives are able to critique their leaders and be honest about what is going on. Try and get a conservative to do that. Hannity still says the country was better off after George Bush.

Remember this is one speech they are NOT saying his entire presidency is failed.

[dkkght46]

Obama told the American people from the Oval Office: "Energy will be the immediate test of our ability to unite this nation, and it can also be the standard around which we rally. On the battlefield of energy we can win for our nation a new confidence, and we can seize control again of our common destiny." My bad that was Carters speech.

[dkkght46]

Now after this lame-ass speech Obama is finding out what it feels like to be Bush-wacked!!! This fool has never had a real job in his life! Never done an honest days work. He's all about the BS. An agitator, not a leader. Odumbass is like the dog that finally catches the car. now what do I do? Matthews and Overbite really seem disappointed with Obama , the bubble has burst and now reality is finally seen by these guys , or has the Kookade worn off ...

[AutopsyReport22]

@dkkght46 Just for your comment, I think most of this is based on racism. You all don't want Obama to succeed even if his presidency were 100% perfect. You will find anything you can to put the president down because he's Black.  That you mention "kookade" says it all that you are probably KKK, and not worth listening to.

[dkkght46]

@AutopsyReport22 Incompetance, lack of leadership, inexperience, community organizing, bufoons, slackers, golfers, partiers can come in various colors but Obama happens to be an oreo.KKK has nothing to do with Obama and in your little mind you can come up with no better excuse for this failure but pulling out the race card. We know from the git-go he was a faler poser who is an idiot.

[AutopsyReport22]

@dkkght46 I only mentioned race b'coz that one poster was using racial slurs. Then you call him an oreo. You people are not civilized. You and the other poster both are like chickenpox on someone's buttocks roaming around youtube looking for Obama videos so you can spew your intense hatred of the fact that we have a Black president. Then you also speak as if your white presidents never failed or performed miserably at some points in their presidency.

[dkkght46]

@AutopsyReport22 Jimmy Carter was a total failure and Nixon was not much better so white Prez's are not perfect.You are an underdeveloped child affected by a distorted development that now has made your irrational beliefs seem real. You whine about imaginary victims, rage against imaginary villains and seek above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, does the neurosis of your mind ever become painful?

[AutopsyReport22]

@dkkght46 All I'm saying is.... you're a racist. "Does the neurosis of your mind ever become painful?" Is being unemployed and filled up full of hatred for Blacks painful when you find out nobody cares? Answer me dat.

[mhrnicek]

@AutopsyReport22: It's unfortunate that you cannot articulate a single policy of President Obama that you support. It's unfortunate that apparently the only thing you like about him is his race.

Thanks again for your racist comment.

[dkkght46]

@mhrnicek Incompetance is colorless and you are the racist because thats all you have in your support for Oilbama's failed policies and Marxist leanings. Sad that the only thing you have to defend your sad leader is race. Why is it we can find plenty of nude pictures of his mother online but his college transcripts are nowhere to be found?

[ThomasCrown2]

This is sweet. These ass-kissing, Obama sycophants are FINALLY acknowledging what millions knew before the election: Obama is an empty-suited, speech-giver! He's woefully unqualified as an executive or manager..and certainly to be POTUS. It should be apparent by now that Obama, and his team, are dangerously inept.

Tingles-up-my-leg Matthews said he'd do whatever he could to make Obama a success. Well, MSNBC et al, ineptitude of this level is beyond help, and even you recognize it.

[YO5649]

Why did you cut the last part about how BP is stopping volunteers for PR purposes?

[BigBry49]

WE SHOULD DO WHAT THE ONE GENERAL SAID TO DO ON CNN WE NEED TO TREAT THIS AS A WAR AND SEND ALL TROOPS MILITARY AND MILITARY SHOULD TAKE OVER. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE THERE, SEND OUR TROOPS HOME FROM BUSH WAR LIE, THE TERROSIT DO NOT SWIM HERE THEY ARE GIVEN VISAS

[BigBry49]

THIS PROVES WE HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE MOON WE CAN'T EVEN GO 5000 FT IN THE OCEAN AND CANNOT FIND A GUY CALLED BIN LADEN ON EARTH

[BigBry49]

IT WAS A SPPECH OF 0, wE HAVE A DOG AND PONY SHOW GOING DOWN AT THE GULF. ENERGY BILL THATS NOT GOING TO SHUT THE OIL OFF, HATS GOING TO HELP AMERICA IS BAN ALL LOBBYING THE TERROSIT ARE SELLING US OUT TO CORPOARTIONS, WALL STREE, 9/.11 AND WAR BY LIES, THESE MEDIAS ARE GOVERNMENT BRAIN WASHING MACHINES ALL BS AND NO TRUTH. BAN ALL LOBBYING SAVE AMERICA

[Aiden057]

When I look at the text of the speech, the phrase "junk shot" comes to mind.

[jcline126]

the speech was garbage and unfortunately it contained what most people already anticipated it would. pandering, no details, agenda pushing, and yet more government commissions and growth. Obama has no idea how to be an executive, and certainly doesn't know how to lead. he's just a campaigner.

interesting to see what has basically been his media cheerleading squad call him out on it though. good for you MSNBC trio, its been a while since you reacted with accurate analysis.

[dkkght46]

The "tingling sensation" Mathews felt running up his legs must now be the feeling of something moist and warm running down his leg. I am utterly amazed it has taken MSNBC so long to realize this President is an empty suit, well....except for his unbelievable ego. When NBC trashes your speech and you are a Democrat President, you have lost the nation.

[AutopsyReport22]

@dkkght46 Not so fast!

[dkkght46]

@AutopsyReport22 Not so fast? They are not the only libs losing faith in dear leader.

[AutopsyReport22]

@dkkght46 "They are not the only libs losing faith in dear leader" eh? They're losing faith coz they usually do with all their leaders at some point anyway. They're looking for MiracleWorker in Chief. The next white prez u get won't be much better. You don't even have a viable white front runner for prez. right now, most of 'em are either brain dead, caught up in some gay scandal or cheating on their wives and selling senate seats....the list goes on. Obama will win again.

[dkkght46]

@AutopsyReport22 Brain dead, You must be talking about dem senate canidate Alvin Greene or Dem Rep. Hank Johnson when he thought Guam would capsize. Gay scandal, would you be talking here about Rep Eric Massa (D)

Cheating on their wives: Edwards/ Rielle Hunter, Gore/Laurie David and Obama/Vera Baker.

Selling Senate seats: Dem Gov Rob Blagovich

Oilbama will not win again.

[FreelancePatriot76]

@dkkght46

Fail, EPIC Fail. PWN !
