Pence pans Obama's response to Gulf oil spill as too slow
By Michael O'Brien - 05/05/10 10:31 AM ET


A top House Republican on Wednesday slammed President Barack Obama's response to a massive oil spill as too slow, saying that "people in the Gulf of Mexico deserve better."

Pence argued that Obama left the oil spill to BP, which was leasing the rig that exploded, triggering the spill.

"The president did not fully respond until late on the 28th {of April}," Pence said. "People in the Gulf of Mexico deserve better."

Obama has received some criticism for his response time in the immediate aftermath of the oil spill, but the White House has pushed back hard at such criticism, releasing various documents outlining the administration's response.

2. People in the Gulf of Mexico

Is that like how Louisiana is a city that is largely underwater?

3. Mike Pence needs to shut the hell up.

I wonder if he thought the people in the Gulf deserved better during Katrina?

I'm betting no.

4. pence is known as a vapid

regurgitator of disingenuous talking points.

5. Pence always reminds me of a Central Casting pedophile priest

I know this guy is a friggin' creep. You can almost smell it.

6. Just another Republican playing politics. Notice they never state what he could have done

...because that would require logical thinking processes - something the Republicans lack.

7. I think what he means is

(rich) people in the Gulf of Mexico deserve better than to have to wait to sail their yachts.

Also, in regards to President Obama supposedly leaving the oil spill to BP, isn't he one of those people whose mantra is that government can't do anything right and that business can regulate themselves AND do a BETTER job of taking care of themselves (and the public) than the government can???? Is he now saying that government can actually handle something better than the private sector???

9. He would vote for tort reform in a NY minute

to absolve the corporate monsters of any responsibility.

Check his votes on tort reform.... that will tell you the true MONSTER he is.
