Hey yall, it’s that time of year once again when the mercury has started to rise, and hurricane season is fast approaching. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the allegations of using bribes by the White House for political expediency makes November a perfect storm for Democrats. It also puts quite a damper on a President’s political future whose latest approval rating has dipped down to 44% according to the most recent Rasmussen poll.
The main stream media has made it a point to place the entire blame of the leak on BP’s shoulders. They have remarked numerous times that corporate greed is the reason for why countless gallons of petroleum now sit in the warm waters of the Gulf. They do have a point that the three companies operating the deep water Horizon rig do share some blame for what took place, but last I checked the federal government has the responsibility to react as quickly as possible when a natural disaster occurs on federal territory. Uncle Sam chose to sit on its hands like little Miss Muffet, while waiting for BP to find a quick solution to the leak, and when nothing seemed to work they decided to chastise BP in several congressional hearings instead of helping stop the oil from gushing out even further. Thankfully this has caused some backlash against the Obama administration from some of its usual followers such as James Carville and Chris Matthews. It took 12 days to get some kind of response from Washington as to what to do about this environmental crisis. I wonder if people like Al Sharpton will say that Barack Obama purposefully did this to eradicate minorities like he claimed President Bush did with Katrina. One simple difference does exist between the two disasters. Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana so the federal government couldn’t react until the local officials requested help from the federal government, but the oil leak is the fed’s responsibility do to the location of the well.
Of course, Liberals would never sit still if something threatened the environment only Conservatives do that wacko’s like Harry Reed would try to make you believe such rhetoric. Some Liberals as well as pundits have claimed that Republicans are simply using the oil spill to attack the Obama administration. When in reality they are doing a great job to bring attention to themselves. Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestack confessed this past Sunday on Meet The Press that he was approached on multiple occasions by the administration with a job offer in exchange for his candidacy for the Democratic primary so Arlen Specter would clinch that seat. The Obama administration prefers Arlen Specter since he recently switched parties for his own political gain. Another claim has recently surfaced of a separate incident of another bribe attempt by the White House to Representative Andrew Romanoff from Colorado for the vacated Senate seat by now Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. All of these political improprieties are considered illegal as well as unethical. How low must a politician stoop to use bribes to obtain favorable results?
Barack Obama sealed his fate when he chose to ignore the American people’s objection to the laundry list of his doing such as Obama care. When will this guy get a clue? When will he realize that ethics are important in a country that operates in a democratic republic? When will he understand how valuable all of the core principles upon which this nation was founded are to all Americans? Finally, when will he understand that even the President of the United States still has to abide by the Constitution as well as all the laws of the land? Mr. President we’re tired of your lack of respect for this great nation. We’re tired of your willingness to deem yourself superior to any other ordinary citizen. This is why this November the perfect storm will hit DC. It will sweep up all those bureaucrats who are disgracing and destroying this country and it will drown out those who are trying to sink us even further into debt. I hope that his staff can book him a condo in Hawaii say starting January, 2012.
James.

Great blog post. I couldn't have said it better myself. I hope there is change soon, because our government has done next to nothing to help the American people. Both the democratic and republican parties are so hell bent on taring each other's throats out, that they've lost sight of what is really important. I am disgusted.
