We were to have the most ethical Congress in history, so said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
We were going to have true governmental transparency, so said Mr Obaka in his campaigning.
Instead, we have (from Politico.com):
While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama [my emphasis – BZ], according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years [my emphasis – BZ], according to financial disclosure records.
An Obama spokesman rejected the notion that the president took big oil money.
Make no mistake: this is Mr Obaka and his sniveling sycophants LYING, publicly, to your FACE, and assuming you are too stupid to know this.
Further, Mr Obaka wants bipartisanship and cooperation, hates labeling, but pejoratively labels the bulk of America when he calls those interested in saving this nation “teabaggers“:
Though he aspires to promote civility, evidence has surfaced that President Obama has added “tea-bagger” to his public lexicon, though it’s considered a cheap and tawdry insult by “tea party” activists. Watchdogs at Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) barked when they saw the proof, tucked in a sneak peak of Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter’s new book, “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” to be released May 18.
[By the way, why the umbrage regarding the label of teabagger? Go here for clarity.]
The DSCC, by the way, decided that capitalizing on the oil spill would be the perfect way to raise money for the Demorats.
Rome Burns, people, and Mr Obaka is immobile. He is “concerned” and “monitoring” which means he is clueless. And not only does Rome Burn, the rest of the world burns.
– Greece is falling apart;
– There is a Euro debt crisis;
– Stocks crash worldwide;
– Grecian violence escalates now;
– The UK’s budget deficit is set to surpass that of Greece;
And finally: if Faisal Shahzad hated President Bush, then I suspect Mr Bush must have been doing something correct.
Note to Mr Obaka: relying on LUCK and the INCOMPETENCE of terrorists does NOT comprise a National Security Policy. You bleeding idiot.

BZ you know I loves ya man but damn it, cool it the big words will ya? I can’t get through a post without checking the Dictionary…IF you keep this crap up I may fit the “educated” part of the tea party stereotype…
Yep, Obama has got himself quite a problem here and now. The muzzies he’s tried to have dialog with are still trying to kill us, he can’t get the tea party to fall apart by calling them names, his economic plan has been a disaster, Iran is going nuclear, his actions over illegal immigration have caused states to make their own laws, the oil in the gulf is directly on his shoulders, Europe who loved him now sees him as a joke and his party is taking an ass whooping across the country. Other than that his presidency has been great

Yikes! Just call me ignorant, then.
I had no idea.
Sheesh!
Good points, we’ve got to start taking back control in 2010 by voting out the incumbents, then 2012 vote the rest out… Remember in November
“liar liar pants on fire” and the media STILL gives him a pass…….HOW COULD THEY? All they need to do is read THIS POST!
Well done, BZ…xx (all benign today, by the way..next batch in a month or so!) xxx
Bush: right, other than one big mess, he’s been just perfect.
AOW: now you do. And that’s PRECISELY what the Left mean when they utilize the pejorative.
NFO: you are correct, we canNOT forget in November!
Z: benign is GREAT!!

For those who keep on pushing for more regulations of everything, we get Government exempted BP project from impact study from the Seattle Times.
Yes all those lovely regulations already on the books in banking, finance, the environment, and on and on… and when they aren’t enforced we need: more regulations! Hey, howzabout enforcing the ones you got that should be doing the job? You don’t need more regulations…and the ‘disaster’ is still dwarfed by the amount of oil that seeps into our waterways from natural sources per annum.
So for those keeping track:
1) Money to Obama and Democrats,
2) BP gets a pass from regulators,
3) Disaster on stuff that was under regulation but given a pass,
4) Obama and Dems castigate the folks who gave them money to get a pass on regulations…
Hmmm… any bets on who else has gotten away with bad habits and not been subject to scrutiny? Freddie and Fannie, mayhap? Goldman Sachs? What does it take for the Left to see that they are being used, their politicians paid off and the companies doing so getting around regulations and regulators via political clout? If you cried, pissed and moaned about Halliburton, it is time to turn the mirror on those you like and see their supporters in that same light… otherwise you have nothing to complain about from ANY company that does ANYTHING contrary to ANY regulations or laws as YOU cannot stand up FOR the IMPARTIAL application of regulations and the law.
And if you want to see what playing favorites gets you, look out into the Gulf.
Is this going to be blamed on President Obama also?:

I wouldn’t expect anything less from the State where the Christ hating deists met and signed their ‘Declaration.’
America will only be saved by much hard work; schools must be revamped to teach the Rs, abortion mills must be shut down, porno factories in LA must be boarded up, homos and lesbians need to be rounded up and sent to an island somewhere, maybe we take over Cuba, greedy bastards need to be made to perform hard labor, drug addicts jailed and made to grow their own food.
As for illegals, build prisons in Mexico and pay that country to keep them incarcerated for as long as they have been here. The Mexican penal system is very harsh; but families can take food and clothes to family members. It is not a breeding ground for evil like ours.
We need to pray for Heavens help, and then roll up our sleeves.
