Obama is trying to scapegoat Elizabeth Birnbaum, Obama dithering incompetence

Heck of Job, Birnbaum!



Obama is trying to scapegoat Elizabeth Birnbaum. But, just as Jimmy Carter became the 53rd hostage for the 444 days of the "Iranian Hostage Crisis" because of his own dithering incompetence, a similar fate awaits Barack Obama.

Mark today as Day One of Barack Obama being held hostage by the visual images of every oil soaked dead bird, dead turtle and dead fish that washes up along the entire the Gulf Coast. And every tragic story of displaced fishermen, Shrimpers and bay men who have earned their living from the Gulf for generations should be a constant reminder of the recklessness of the Obama Administration. That is as it should be. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was passed in response to the government's slow reaction to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The OPA makes it clear that the President is responsible:

Spill Response Authority

When responding to a spill, many considered the lines of responsibility under the pre-OPA regime to be unclear,[33] with too much reliance on spillers to perform proper cleanup.34 OPA strengthened and clarified the federal government's role in oil spill response and cleanup. OPA Section 4201 amended Section 311(c) of the CWA to provide the President (delegated to the USCG or EPA) with three options: perform cleanup immediately ("federalize" the spill), monitor the response efforts of the spiller, or direct the spiller's cleanup activities. The revised response authorities addressed concerns "that precious time would be lost while waiting for the spiller to marshall its cleanup forces." For days the Obama Administration did nothing when a combination of an oil containment boom of several miles in diameter and burning would have greatly mitigated this disaster. That is until the weather and the sea state turned. By then, it was a runaway. Let's not forget that the Government gets eight times the net revenue of the oil companies in royalties. Yet they could not afford to have had enough oil booms "at the ready" for just such an event. But it is the oil companies, who are the greedy ones! That is liberal logic for you.


Obama's Hostage Crisis will be different because it will not only expose his incompetence and that of his regime, this crisis will expose his Administration's willful destruction of wildlife and its habitat in order to turn a disaster into a catastrophe for his political ends.


"Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before." - White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in November. Every dead duck and displaced bay man between now and Election Day should be a metaphor for the Government's failed environmental policy of forcing oil exploration and drilling far offshore and into deep water. It should be self-evident that the deeper the wellhead, the more problems compound exponentially. The sea water pressure is 320,500 pounds per square foot at Deep Water Horizon's well head depth of 5,000 feet. (This assumes salinity/ density of 64.1 lbs./ft.3) It is the simply another example of this Administration's willingness to exploit anything or anyone to expand their power and that of the National Government. (Under this bunch of Democrats, we no longer have a Federal government but that is a discussion for another day.) In light of this, Obama's "TelePrompTered" press conference yesterday can only be seen as an unmitigated disaster if the goal was to make Obama look PRESIDENTIAL, in command of the facts and the situation. He proved by his responses that neither is true. When asked the question about the firing/resignation of Elizabeth Birnbaum, another Cambridge whizz kid, who was supposed to be in charge of the Interior's Department of the Minerals Management Service. As Politico reported:

"It was a remarkable moment in President Barack Obama's press conference Thursday: just hours before, the head of the Minerals Management Service had left the top post at the agency that oversees offshore oil drilling. And yet, the president said he didn't know whether Liz Birnbaum had resigned or been fired. " Could this be a multifaceted firing? Was Ms. Birnbaum fired or resigned not only as a scapegoat for the President's incompetence but because she was also one of the thirteen employees downloading porn and the one using crystal meth?
If so; "Heck of a job, Birnbaum!" Combine this Administration's "porn excuse" for mishandling this event with the similar "porn excuse" for the S E C's fumbling of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme makes a clear argument against the "Jack Booted" statism of Ken Salazar (D-CO) and Barack Obama want to inflict on us. It is clear that the Obama boot is on the throat of dear old Uncle Sam, as we used to know him and the engine of freedom: oil. The question is will they be able to completely strangle U.S.? Or, will the obvious connection between masturbation and porn, leave this Administration choking their own "chickens"? The election results of November of 2010 will give us the answer. Heck of a job, Barack! h/t Mark Levin -- OPA info.
