President Barack Obama: Hey, listen, nothing personal. Having my boot on your throat is just hyperbole. It's all politics and image. No problem. Let's do lunch. BP Executive: Aargh! (Choke) Don't stand on my neck (gasp) You're choking me! I'm sorry about the oil leak - really! (choke). Punk: Hype as policy.

Politics as usual…

Somehow I think that it is impossible to have Obama’s boot on BP’s neck when he is in BP’s back pocket!

Yes, Obama was the biggest recipient of BP donations in 2008. Obama is the new Bush.

This is one way to attack the stupidity of the “boot on the throat” comment. Another would be to introduce Obama’s new press secretary, Joseph Goebbles. The comment was inexcuseable.

ADEM and LSU is doing far more than Obama and Co. in dealing with the issue along Alabama and Louisiana’s coastlines. And to hear Robert Gibbs, Auburn’s own son, waffling about the failure of policy, pointing a finger at allowing the Times Square bomber to slip through is a credit to this Administration. Like Reagan, Deniable Culpability Starts Here.

It’s sooooo right-wing logic to compare Obama to a right-wing president to make the democrats look bad…

What is new? Dear Obama is a politician. Disappointing but sadly true. Stupid me, I expected different.

I just became a member of this site and it’s sad to see that most of the commenting is the same collection of various left and right wing catch phrase insults, come-backs, and sometimes personal attacks I see everywhere now . We seem compelled to take up sides and try to out-intellectualize each others commenting. Each soldier is armed with their own personal atomic weapon: The ability to “FLAG” the other guy! If Senator McCain won the election then he would be in the cartoon and you guys would be throwing the same words at each other. And as we are arguing and shouting out rude names this thing is leaking what, 210,000 barrels a day? If they can’t plug this up, we will all die soon. If we get lucky they will stop the leak but, will we finally get it and stop offshore drilling? If they have problems capping the well at this depth, what if this happens again at a platform 2 or 3 times the depth? It WILL end life on this Earth as we know it… You may now return to throwing your insults and rude names at each other or me
