AG Eric Holder - Visits Gulf of Mexico Oil Leak

Shouldn't the top priority of the Obama administration be to solve the crisis and help those living in the states being affected by the oil spill, before placing blame for the leak is assigned?

Attorney General Eric Holder visited the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on Tuesday, as his department is already considering if a criminal investigation should be started. I guess this shows us that the Obama administration is really, really doing something to solve the problem? I don't think so.

Supposedly Holder met with attorneys from Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi and the state law enforcement officials from those states, the Justice Department said.

We still have no idea when the well will be capped and the leak stopped, but let's sue someone now even though we don't know that anyone is to blame for the explosion of the well. If and when the administration does assign blame to BP and others, how long will that take as it winds it's way through the court system?

Mr. President, how about first things first. Concentrate on a solution and a stop to the leak before jumping ahead just to convince those innocent souls who voted for you into believing that real headway is being made in this crisis.

Nancy Pelosi - To The Rescue

There is no defense of the pathetic display by the Obama administration for the lack of immediate action which should have been taken as soon as the BP oil spill occurred.

They should have been involved immediately in finding a solution to stem the BP leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil is still leaking after almost six weeks, as of this writing it is day 41, and now we hear from Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi.

She is doing nothing to help the situation but has now placed the blame for the oil leak on George W. Bush. Hey "Stretch", the well is still leaking, blaming Bush is not going to cap the leak. When the brain trust of this administration cannot find an easy solution to a problem, they use the same old play book, they either blame Bush or throw money at the problem. This time, that won't work.

The Washington Examiner reports:
"Many of the people appointed to the Bush administration are still burrowed in the agencies that are supposed to oversee the [oil] industry. "Pelosi said when asked if Democrats could have prevented or mitigated the crisis by keeping a closer watch on the industry.

The Speaker added, "the cozy relationship between the Bush administration's agency leadership and the industry is clear...I've heard no complaints from my members about the way the president has handled it." Pelosi stated.

Pelosi cannot defend the Obama administration's lack of response to the BP oil crisis, so she plays the 'blame game.' 'San Fran Nan', we are tired of the blame Bush rhetoric. Barack Obama is now in charge, he is the President, but his administration apparently is not close to finding a solution to the extremely severe problem which still exists.

On Friday "The Washington Examiner" asked Nancy Pelosi's office to release a list of the people Bush appointed that she was referring to. I doubt that we will ever see a list.

Her statement was simply 'cover fire' because Obama has a problem he cannot solve, he is looking extremely bad, he has shown very little leadership, and this problem is his responsibility.
