Even ultra-liberal MSNBC and the LA Times know Oilbama is an empty suit.

Obama's speech: There's a pipe spewing a gazillion gobs of oil into the gulf, so let's build more windmills.

But there was something wrong. The first two-thirds of the president's remarks read just fine (Full text over here on The Ticket as usual). By golly, we’ll get the money, we’ll clean it up, no matter how long it takes.

But watching the president and hearing him was a little creepy; that early portion of the address was robotic, lacked real energy, enthusiasm. And worst of all specifics. He was virtually detail-less.



After almost two months of waiting through continuously contradictory reports, an anxious American public wanted to know, HOW are you going to accomplish all this?



Even Obama's cheerleaders over at MSNBC were complaining. "Where was the How in this speech?" demanded Keith Olbermann. Seriously.


Everyone's assumed that fixing the leak was a given since Day Four, which was still five days before the Democrat got his big plane and presidential entourage down there.

Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman react to President Obama's Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio said:

Olbermann: "It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days."

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

Olbermann: "Nothing specific at all was said."

Matthews: "No direction."

Howard Fineman: "He wasn't specific enough."

Olbermann: "I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's startling."

Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a "commander-in-chief."

Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."

Matthews: "A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk."

Matthews: "I don't sense executive command."

Oilbama can read a mean teleprompter, but he has no substance. Now, even his panting, foaming-at-the-mouth with rabid support Kool-Aid drinkers are calling him on it. Liberals are not just eating their own, they are serving the Cheerleader In Chief as the main course.

The emperor isn't wearing any clothes!

It's not irrelevant...it's a comment. Is posting a .GIF not allowed here? If so, I'll be glad to remove it.

Stop saying 'Oilbama', it makes you sound like a child.

No, I won't. It's his disaster, Oilbama's Katrina. And I'm certain that you don't care how I appear, rather you don't want the messiah to be disparaged in any way.

Once again, mine were removed but hakr100's was not because I'm the conservative here.

No, it wasn't removed because I haven't had time to revisit this forum for any length of time until now. I'm really sorry that I'm not able to baby-sit 24hrs a day, although it does seem as that's what's needed. I'll have a word with the admins and see if they can oblige.

Yeah! Phases, I demand a nap and a fruit snack because my civil rights are being violated!

The sad part is that I am probably old enough to be his babysitter... Well, in a few decades, some nice young person will be changing my diapers anyway, guess it shouldn't phase me so.
