1. That was almost a month ago.

Too long ago!

Folks can't even remember what they ate for lunch yesterday. :shrug:

3. Short memories. n/t

2. When you are dealing with instant gratification oriented, knee jerk reactors with political ADHD....

...then you are likely wasting your time. And that is what you are dealing with.

4. Yup-not ONE anchor nor Dem. strategist brought this up today. n/t

[Peacetrain]

5. Why do we have to go through this every single time ..

we have people screaming that Obama should go to La or fly over.. never mind he has been on it since day one.
Jen its like no one listens.. they have all become like ann coulter.. who speaks to the ceiling and never listens to what anyone else says

[jenmito]

6. I guess that they won't let any facts get in the way of what they want to

believe about him. It's really sad that it's so rampant on THIS site, not to mention in the "liberal" media.

8. Thanks. I'm sending the video to Joe Scarborough who said, this morning, about 10 times,

that Obama HAS to go to LA and he can't understand why he "hasn't yet." :eyes:

9. And what has he done to fix this mess?

I'll be waiting.

16. You asked what he has done to fix this mess as if he's done nothing. The article

shows just how much he had done up to the date of the article, even though many people claim he's done NOTHING, asking what he's "waiting for." The date shows he began working to try to fix this mess from the very beginning. And he's OBVIOUSLY still working at it unless you think he suddenly stopped his hard work. :eyes:

15. One small item here: BP reversed decision to shut off video feed.

Pressure from Thad Allen, I think.

Looks like BP will now air Operation Top Kill live on their oil spill webcam.

After reports earlier today that British Petroleum (BP) would cut the public feed to their oil spill webcam while attempting to stop the flow of oil from a burst pipe, the oil company has released a statement saying that:

"BP today confirmed that following detailed discussion with the National Incident Commander, Admiral Thad Allen, it will continue to provide live video feeds from the seabed throughout the planned ‘top kill’ procedure – the attempt to stop the flow from the damaged MC252 well by pumping heavy drilling fluids into it."

Also, the MMS is cleaning house big time, and revealed insider services from the past, reported on KO.

And announcement last week that MMS is reorganizing due to conflicts of interest, will have an environmental and safety division now.

Other stuff, too.

17. There's a complete timeline since the first day, over at

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/issues/Deepwater-BP-Oil-Spill

I suggest you look at it to discover the answer to your question. I doubt you will, but it's there. I've posted this several times. You may read it and see what has been done every day by the Obama administration with regard to the Gulf oil disaster.

You cannot claim that he has done nothing with impunity here. Some of us know exactly what has been done from the White House. I point this link out to you so you will be informed and will stop making false claims.

10. Obama going is a serious waste of time and resources anyway.

I hope he doesn't go again. Do you want people to deal with the problem or do you want workers diverted to handling the burden of a Presidential visit for the sake of a photo op? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

12. It's official-Obama can't win no matter WHAT he does!
