Pepper Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Byron York Washington Examiner: Mr. President: If we can put a man on the moon… 6-15-2010 Byron York Mr. President: If we can put a man on the moon… Stopping the leak -- now believed to be shooting between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf each day -- was a topic the president sidestepped during his 18-minute speech. And yet polls show it is the most pressing priority for Americans when they think about the Gulf oil disaster, with many Americans wondering whether the federal government has really done everything that can be done to stop the flow of oil. Hearing the president invoke American technological genius in the service of his political goal -- a cap-and-trade bill -- while remaining silent on the application of that technological genius to the problem at hand in the Gulf cannot have increased the public's confidence in Obama's ability to handle the crisis.

Pepper Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hey, this guy read our board last night. Obama Oil Spill Speech Reax: Epic Fail JAMES JOYNER | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 2010 31 COMMENTS PRESIDENT Obama Draws Bipartisan Criticism for Using Oil Spill to Push Energy Policy resident Obama is drawing bipartisan criticism for using the BP oil spill to revive an energy regulation bill that's been on the back burner since last year, with lawmakers saying the so-called "cap-and-trade" package does nothing to stop the leak or mitigate the damage. Obama, trying to take control of a crisis that has slowly eroded support for his administration, addressed the nation from the Oval Office Tuesday night to rally support for his efforts to tackle the spill. He pointed to the relief efforts already underway and said the government would hold BP responsible. But later in his 18-minute speech, he turned to focus on the need to "seriously tackle our addiction to fossil fuels" and tout Democrats' climate legislation.
