POTUS: "... the media specifically is demanding things that the public aren뭪 demanding..."

Obama to POLITICO: GOP shares the blame for spill
By ROGER SIMON | 6/11/10 11:51 PM EDT

President Barack Obama said Friday that some members of Congress should share the blame for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

In an interview with POLITICO, the president said: 밒 think it뭩 fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and I had said we need to crack down a lot harder on oil companies and we need to spend more money on technology to respond in case of a catastrophic spill, there are folks up there, who will not be named, who would have said this is classic, big-government overregulation and wasteful spending.�

The president also implied that anti-big government types such as Tea Party activists were being hypocritical on the issue.

밪ome of the same folks who have been hollering and saying 멶o something� are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,� Obama said. 밪ome of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.�

Obama뭩 comments, during a 36-minute Oval Office interview, come as the public is giving the federal government low marks for its response to the BP oil spill, according to recent polls. Obama travels to the Gulf Monday and Tuesday and has invited top BP executives to the White House for a meeting Wednesday.

As to accusations that he is not showing enough passion in fighting the oil spill, the president blamed the media.

밳ou know, what I think I get frustrated with sometimes, as do, I suspect, other members of my team, is that the media specifically is demanding things that the public aren뭪 demanding,� the president said. 밯hat the public wants to see is us solving this problem. And that may not make for good TV.�

36. Sure, Uh Huh...

WASHINGTON � The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday.

Edited on Fri Jun-11-10 11:04 PM by Pirate Smile

Edit - thank goodness, they changed the headline from (paraphrasing) "Obama: Congress shares some of the blame with BP" to "Obama to POLITICO: GOP shares the blame for spill".

Isn't there a new Dem in one of the Carolinas, pro-drilling?? Probably a bunch in the House. I think he was talking to both parties.

12. His focus was on the "Oh, NO! Big government is killing us" as opposed to

supporting drilling.

Who would have freaked out if we wanted to institute greater safety regulations and have more equipment in case of an emergency? Republicans. I don't know if the pro-drilling Dems would object but the Republicans and the Tea Party crowd would have been screaming their heads off. Seems like one of those basic differences between the parties and their view of Regulation.

Look no further than the EPA vote. This is why we have such problems with blue dog districts. Their own representatives talk like Republicans, there's nobody in those states giving a real Democratic view.

... "some of the Democrats in Congress dont like the way the President sometimes blames 'Washington' when the fault like with the GOP...."

Well, obviously, the President sees that it's CONGRESS who's approval ratings are in the can and he's separating himself from them ... smart move on his part ... but I can also see her point.

8. Then do something about the media.

Don't cry to me sir because you have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more resources than I do, or my neighbors.

You know, the first time I got laid off in the game industry, the person in charge of our small studio was crying about it and sincerely feeling bad about it. Coming from the person being laid off......"he's still getting a check and I'm not, even though I worked 60 weeks like a bitch" and I'm supposed to feel sorry for him?????????

Get er done Mr. President, you signed up for this. Your cake for the rest of your life while the unwashed struggle to survive. I'm not feeling sorry for you, you've created the environment your in. And remember?...your supposed to be working for us!

43. None of that is what I meant.

He needs to be out there talking straight up like this at every opportunity. From day one instead of waiting till he's backed into a corner, and in only one interview. Coupled with actually supporting the progressive base instead of throwing them under the bus, on FOX news even. Yes, that base that got him and all his buddies into the white house overwhelmingly. He needs to stop being a conciliator and start being a leader. He absofuckinglutly needs to stop supporting Shrubs agenda and exacerbating them, etc.. etc...

He's got to f#cking walk the walk not just talk the talk.

Yeah I know he's got a lot working against him....so that means capitulation with the R's??????????

There's a lot of common sense things, not even tough things, that he can be doing.

He's basically telling us things are fucked and that's why he can't get anything done, oh and by the way the media's picking on me.

WELL DUHHH

What I want to hear is what he's going to DO about it, not why he's in the fetal position!

22. This kind of article is exactly why Obama wants to avoid speaking

to the press. Politico has taken some quotes and then surrounded them with opinion to try to continue a controversy. For example, talking about being hypocritical, Politico ascribes that to Obama talking about Tea Party activists. I'd guess that Obama never mentioned the Tea Party. That was Politico creating controversy. You don't have to look further than your own television to see Republican members of Congress talking about a takeover and restriction of freedoms. Or Limbaugh. Or a myriad of talking heads. Politico threw out "Tea Party" just to create conflict.

That said, I'm sure that now, Obama will get criticized for speaking the truth that the media refuses to acknowledge.

23. I really like his comments about the anti-government, anti-regulation crowd.

He is 1000% correct that if he had proposed stronger regulation on oil companies they would have had a giant hissy fit.

The blatant flaming hypocrisy of these types needs to be exposed and talked about in the media with the same fervor and frequency that the media reports every moronic Facebook comment issued by Palin.

24. Uh huh.

Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying 멶o something� are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,

And a whole bunch of them aren't. Meanwhile BP isn't cleaning up shit and is keeping the public off public beaches so even volunteers can't get to a lot of it to clean anything up. So let's allow even more damage to be done, more animals to die, etc so BP can control access to their disaster. No one ever wanted him to put on a cape and plug the leak personally, they just wanted him to make BP stop screwing around and start trying to prevent the oil getting to the beaches and cleaning it up when it got there.

It'll be perceived as passing the buck, but this argument needed to be made. Deregulation is a very bad idea, and big government is not necessarily a bad thing.

27. "I think it's fair to say"

I, for one, think it's fair to say that the administration of our government should have been fully aware of the risks involved with deep sea drilling and should have implemented strict oversight while requiring safer methods and technology on hand to deal with a major accident.

Obama should have done this shortly after coming to office regardless of how the teabaggers would characterize it and whether Congress would have gone along. Imagine the political fallout today if Obama had fought that fight and lost, then this disaster happened. The president would have been proven 100% correct and he would be busy implementing the needed policies rather than fighting off criticism.

30. The president was soft-shoeing.

I would have been tougher and a little more direct: "Those tea-bagging Republican mother fuckers who were slamming my ass about "socialism" and "a government takeover of Americans' lives" are the same hypocritical fuckstains now whining about how I'm not doing enough to save their Archie Bunker asses."

Why play nice with the criminal conservative class? It's done no good so far.

44. Where was this statement BEFORE he passed drill baby drill

A clear flip flop too late in the game. He could have leveraged expanded drilling against regulation. Want drilling? Lets regulate it and make it safe first.

No, Obama said it was safe, drastically expanded drilling, and now it has been brought to light that it was never safe.

47. There was no hypocrisy to this magnitude pre-oil spill.

Note that everything he said is in relation to the hypocrisy of no big government but when it comes to the oil spill...there's a push for Big government interfering into big oil business. This is what he posted in the article...so I don't know how your asking for before. It would never have come up....they'd be pointing out other forms of hypocrisy which he did in regards to oil people bitching about health care but still getting medicare.

Edited on Sat Jun-12-10 08:38 PM by SeattleGirl

And stop blaming him for this fucking mess.

In case you weren't aware, the mechanisms for this fucking disaster were in place long before Obama probably even thought about running for President.

And while you're at it, how about throwing most of your blame square where it belongs: in the laps of Congress, Bush, Cheney, and fucking BP.

Edited to add one more thing: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT PASS BILLS. CONGRESS DOES.

You must have been in the bathroom when they taught that.

I am pointing out that he did NOTHING about future prevention before expanding drilling. Calling it safe in fact. He could have demanded regulation before signing the expansion.

Yes that is a FACT regardless of how many here want to bury it.

No Obama does not write the laws. He does however push the direction of congress and the senate. He did not have to sign drilling expansion getting nothing in return.

that lambast PO at every turn.

Boehner, Grassley and McConnell come to mind immediately...lesser idiots, like Issa chime in whenever they can as well. I am one that will point out at every opportunity that these idiots, and the GOP in general, are the one's that set the stage for this tragedy...they are criminals AFAIC.

What happened happened because of the lackadaisical attitude the R's have for business...Boehner now cries fro the government to clean up the mess that he helped produce...all the while telling us how "fantastic" and "responsible" business is...he's a friggin' pissant!

49. where are the leaders?

I've always felt uneasy about the leadership of the democrats in Congress. They've been way too silent in this catastrophe. I wish they would simply forget about the republicans obstructing and get things done. America would appreciate it. Just forge ahead without even mentioning anything about them. Just my take.

61. And just where have you been for the past decade and more?

By todays standards Nixon would have been a flaming left wing radical. Why shouldn't anyone with two brain cells to rub together be uneasy about Democratic leaders in all walks of political life? Not questioning our own leaders solely on the basis that the alternative is worse is pure fucking cowadice. It's also how, step by step, you ended up in the fucking mess you're in today.

The ones you MUST question the hardest ARE you own.

America overtook Conservatism some time ago and has long since left even Calvanism in the dust. America is long past "If you have it you deserve it. If you don't, you don't." The Creed now is, "If you can't hang onto it, you never deserved it."

out of this "transparent" administration, the people would probably be demanding more. For one thing, I'm already demanding somebody better than Adm. Allen to run things. He's clearly not part of the solution.
