Karl Rove: Yes, the Gulf Spill is Obama’s Katrina – WSJ.com
The liberals went ‘nutso’ when president George Bush only took ‘ 4 days’ to get down to Louisiana for the Katrina Hurricane AFTERMATH as no one predicted the storm ‘surge’ would ‘take out’ levies that had withstood bigger storms when Obama took ’13 days’ to get down there for the BP Deepwater Horizon tragedy.
Not to mention the fact that he hasn’t even met with one single family member of the 18 killed in catastrophe since all he gives a damn about it “plugging the damn hole’ so he can get on to his vacation to blow some time and crack rocks back with the “boys from the hood” back here in Chicago, since he can’t get any “crack’ down in DC without everyone knowing about it and to top that off he’s only doing a park and roll through the LA coastal area.
A little stop which is a nice 75,000 or $100,000 detour at our expense, since he’s had weeks to go down to LA and perhaps if we wasn’t out raising millions for left wing loon Barbara Boxer the money spent flying there Tuesday would cover the cost of him ‘covering his ass’, as he also blows off Arlington Cemetery Monday, which is a unprecedented kick in the ‘nads from a commander in chief and should make nice photoshop for any campaigns.
Ya know, like a “where’s Obama” motif perhaps?

Just go to the “Featured Videos” link here and see all the democrats who are saying the ‘very same thing”.
So this disaster “IS” Obama’s “Katrina” as Karl Rove makes the case in the Wall Street Journal this morning.

As President Obama prepares to return to the Gulf Coast Friday, he is receiving increasing criticism for his handling of the oil spill. For good reason: Since the Deepwater Horizon rig blew up on April 20, a lethargic Team Obama has delayed or blown off key decisions requested by state and local governments and left British Petroleum in charge of developing a plan to cap the massive leak.
Now the slow-moving oil spill threatens Mr. Obama’s reputation, along with 40% of America’s sensitive wetlands. Critics include some of his most ardent cheerleaders, who understand that 38 days without an administration solution is unacceptable.
Obama officials have it backwards: They talk tough about BP’s responsibilities but do not meet their own responsibilities under federal law. They should not have let more than a month go by without telling BP what to do. And they should avoid recriminations against their partner in solving the problem until after the leak is sealed.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar sounds whiney when he rails against BP. It didn’t build confidence when his opening statement to a congressional hearing Wednesday focused on future safety and inspections requirements, and not on what the administration will do now to end the leak.
