If the government stepped in and took over every corporation that hinted at bad news, you would be arguing that Obama was "nationalizing" more private companies like a "communist." 20/20 hindsight is fun isn't it?
It's one thing to needlessly take over a car company that should just close their doors if they can't make it. Or a bank for the same reason, or healthcare that isn't broken. It's another thing when a company causes a major environmental disaster putting the population at risk. That to me falls under national security and that is the government's most important job. Something this administration seems to know nothing about. To sit on the sidelines and allow things to continue to get worse, to me is treason. Something should be done about this.

It's also now being reported that BP was asking for the administration's help on this matter long before the deadly accident and the now gushing well of tar.
Looks like it does say that he knew.

A major auto company going under is just as significant.

Yeah they did. I am a practicing attorney right now. If I got a job in a different field, it would seem pointless to continue paying my state bar dues. That would be like renewing your netflix account when you're not watching any dvds.

This presidency only confirms that the elected are only hand puppets for the ones who are really in power. They put them in (eliminating true selection from the people, and placing their puppets as the only choices), and when elected, they do what they're told.
If they refuse to do what they're told, then they either get shot, or go down in a plane crash somewhere in Russia.

I'm afraid that in poor Obama's case, he's sitting between two guns, the one held by those really in power, and the one held by the people. I don't think there is a happy ending for this guy. He's the selected fall guy, and he knew it. I guess to him being president is worth an early demise then?

You should know better than anyone showing bias in a discussion removes just about all credibility one may of had in that discussion.
Spouting things such as everyone in this thread having to be neo cons because they dislike a president you like(you're generalizing people for disagreeing with you) shows a terrible lack of intelligence. I suggest you get off that high horse, you really need to be humbled.

Poor Obama! This man is detached from reality and to the people of the United States.
He is not a victim and won't be.
"Sitting between two guns"?
He is the Commander and Chief of the United States of America. He is suppose to in the best interest of "we the people"!
He knows exactly what he is doing. No one has his hands tied.
He is doing exactly what he wants to do, one is to make his dad proud.
He is not a leader in any way shape or form.
HE IS WORTHLESS just as the title states!
Big government can go to hell

And do you know what the scary part is, there is nothing to say he won't win re-election
People can be so stupid when it comes to voting... I live in Chicago, where all the politicians are corrupt as sin. but they keep winning for some reason.
