Think the press isn't biased?
Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 8:06PM The following video looks back at how Obama dealt with the Gulf oil spill. As you watch it, consider how the press would have treated a Republican President that displayed this level of incompetence and disinterest. We saw a much more organized response from George Bush around Katrina and they painted him as uncaring, rudderless fool.

President Obama’s fingerprints were ALL OVER the Gulf oil disaster…
1. Of all American politicians, President Obama was documented as having received the most money from BP.
2. Obama’s Interior Department named BP a finalist for “Outstanding Safety and Pollution Prevention” award twice -- in 2009, and again in 2010. Ten days before the 2010 winner was to be announced, the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, and the ceremony was “postponed.”
3. In 2009, President Obama recognized the same Deepwater Horizon rig at the heart of the catastrophe -- as a “model of safety.”

ANY QUESTIONS???
One more reason to look forward to the day when the only time you'll see the words "President" and "Obama" in the same sentence they're preceded by "former".
That ole boy's about as useless as a steering wheel on a commode.
