You know anonymous -- if the President fails, the country fails. One wonders if that is what you want.
I guess I am also wondering what it is that people want the President to do. He didn't cause the spill -- BP did aided and abetted by lax regulation which is what the conservatives have championed for years, and aided and abetted by all of us who use oil. And yet now, those who are so opposed to government have changed their tunes and expect government to make them whole. If you don't want to be a hypocrite, you can't have it both ways.
We are all in this together and it would be good if we could get all of our horses hitched to the same wagon.
(How some of you managed turn this picture into a chance to complain about Obama is truly amazing. I suspect if Larry said, "the sky is blue," you would somehow "blame" it on Obama. Can you stick to one point - BP's oil spill - for just 10 seconds? Are you that ADD?)

The back side of the sign reads "Obama Out to Lunch"

Saw this on Andrew Sullivan earlier this week. I absolutely LOVE the irony.
well said Lorlee!
Interior Secretary Salazar was asked if BP has done everything the government has asked them to do. After a period of silence, he said, "Yes."
So who is at fault for the mismanagement of the spill?
As Jon Stewart said, Obama needs to kick his own ass.
Lorlee, which of Mr. Bush's initiatives did you get behind?
The only way for the country to win is for Obama to fail. He is taking us down the road to socialism as fast as he can.
The irony is hilarious ... and sad.

Lorlee, you said this:
"If you don't want to be a hypocrite, you can't have it both ways.

So, I am asking you again, to which George Bush policies did you hitch your horses?
You're not a hypocrit, are you? Do tell us. Please.
