Barack Obama didn’t part the waters - he just made them dirtier By Howie Carr Wednesday, June 2, 2010 - Added 13h ago + Recent Articles Boston Herald Columnist E-mail Print (86) Comments Text size Share Buzz up!What if George W. Bush was still president, and this oil spill was going on unchecked in the Gulf of Mexico?
Imagine the bumper stickers on the Priuses in Harvard Square and Brookline:
“STOP THIS ENDLESS LEAK!”
“DEEPWATER HORIZON - AN INSIDE JOB.”
“OIL SPILL - NOT ON OUR WATCH.”
But of course it’s the moonbats’ messiah who is presiding - or, more accurately, not presiding - over this environmental fiasco. So the outcry among the trust-funded and the ponytailed is somewhat less than deafening - cue the crickets, please. The Barack-is-doing-nothing street demonstrations are more deserted than the anti-war candlelight vigils since Jan. 20, 2009.
On the day of the memorial service for the 11 dead on the oil rig last week, Barack flew to San Francisco for a fund-raiser on behalf of the hideous Sen. Barbara “Botox” Boxer. It was held in a mansion owned by a member of the Getty family, of Big Oil infamy. And yet nary a word among the usual Ivy League pukes on MSNBC and in The New York Times [NYT].
During the Bush years, the nonworking classes had bumper stickers on their Mercedes calling him “FUNDRAISER IN CHIEF.” Yet here’s the numero-uno recipient of BP bucks absolutely looking the other way in the Gulf, and none of the usual suspects are screaming about extraditing Barack to The Hague.
Maybe BP stands for Beautiful People.
If “top kill” had worked, Barack would have taken full credit. It didn’t work, so it’s all BP’s fault. Imagine if a Democrat governor had begged George Bush for two weeks to approve a workable plan to at least minimize the spillage, and Bush had sat on his hands, instead bowing and scraping to a gringo-loathing Mexican spouting anti-white hate speech at a White House state dinner?
Consider the media’s response if Bush had flat-out lied that the BP leak was nothing compared to Exxon Valdez, when in fact it’s at least five times as large, and counting. When was the last time you saw a replay of that preposterous Barack video? Paging Katie and Brian...
Tomorrow is the second anniversary of one of the messiah’s greatest speeches, on the day after his final victory over Hillary Clinton: “I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that ... this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
Now we find out he can’t even plug a leak in the Gulf of Mexico?
Think about it, moonbats. Your hero - or at least his George Soros-programmed Tele-Promp-Ter - told us he could stop global warming. Yet the results are as nonexistent as his economic recovery, or his LSATs for that matter. I’d love to market a new series of oil-spill bumper stickers, so that Beautiful People like Liveshot Kerry could have at least one for each of the SUVs at their various mansions.
BARACK LIED, PELICANS DIED.
BARACK LIED, DOLPHINS DIED.
BARACK LIED, SEA TURTLES DIED.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for any of those.
