Obama slipping in Oil Spill

It was unfair and -- commissioning broadcasting from a new balanced world headquarters building this column I am talked a bit on Boston's Officer Jim Graham should take. The 2010. Finals. And the winner of the Bill Russell.

Okay they're forced her to do. Okay and there's a world from this. Photo. That was pretty cool puts it. I'm gonna leave them to do -- now we have surveillance. --

Can -- picked up when you when I got this morning took a look at some of the high decibels oil prices are -- I fell asleep and I woke up with -- about seven or eight minutes left I'm not sure and Rosalie said. There this self serve three -- now I know they're doomed because. If you're out in LA for game seven and you're only up three.

McLaren had been up thirteen so that that's too bad that was all I need a -- or less than eighty points finish. Just show us something about -- defense fund is tough defensive play your hand and -- weakness on the celtics' offense.

So -- you know. I got a an email from Steve Pagliuca a managing partner of the Celtics inviting me to opening game next season. Desire is we hello lol in a problem getting me to a game our last few weeks in -- order Purcell -- There's always next year exact anybody who's -- Red Sox fan growing up here has learned that phrase for many years younger blood is all about winning in the -- that often you get the chance to. That is to be in a seventh game for the champion at least it was a close game and -- there was very respectable exciting basketball viral counts are OK enough of that pandering to these sports fans and us. Because I know I know you're that -- more -- or more to save the Celtics and one. The amount hurts when mailers and well let's show -- any of the teams now -- heard when the Bruins collapsed and selling. If you just can't get into it anymore you set aside did you say well maybe next year. I think one of the most offensive things about our society today is how Soviet style it's become. We've become so bureaucratic so red tape -- big government controlling everything. That it's we're feeling it hinder our ability to do business where were feeling freedom. Being closed in upon.

That was the feeling I had when Obama was she in the speech. I it sounded almost banana republic issue we -- here is the leader. -- the dictator is going to tell us what we're gonna do. And he cares he's. Grand plans to restructure us society here which you know we are gonna -- on the -- the oil you'll show yeah I mean after all this time finally addresses the nation. From the oval office for -- using his hands too much the only machine down you can't be waving your hands around do you show.

John of them by the way they started off he's sitting at this big empty -- why is that a president never has -- tough but if our president I've got piles falling everywhere right he sits at a desk that's eight feet wide ever attempted -- accomplished executive -- need to arranged I'm a vision calmly with Paul McCartney. -- But it he's -- he's a skinny straight guy he's sitting there at the desk and he takes up like two inches in you know lateral. Distance and the desk he's eight feet wide he looks like this shrinking meek. Little figure I was really a bad shot and -- Pandit and quickly out of anyway he gives a speech he wants sorority don't take all right -- it's a good thing he's got is he's got his fund is forty billion all fun it was he showing a little little leadership finally. He's just should've been in this position says seven weeks ago right now more I was still speaking to the point you made about the dictatorship aspect and our government is controlling everything. But want -- really wants to take this opportunity for the fact be the right word for this crisis. And make cap and trade on -- you know we're gonna get us off of oil. If you really tried to implement that policy would be a disaster here we have a moratorium. On the deep she drilling and their photos of people already hit by the gulf oil crisis we're now. Been idled some of them thrown out of -- of the democratic playing you if you get a crisis. Real or imagined. And you try to expanded my guys you can so they're expanding the crisis by stopping the drilling in the gulf -- ending the government that means a bunch of people lose their -- their careers the equipment gets moved to other regions of the world not to return. And you basically shut it down permanently. You create the need for that thing which there is no need for we have no need for a windmill in middle of the ocean that I have seen. We have no need for solar panel investment. It'll make solar panels that are good. He's trying to create artificial market demand is -- not John you're on WRKO.

you of the basket like his head.

No. MZ and -- how John words you and you don't call anymore yeah.

Struggling to get I really do god employment had been offered. You're looking for other ventures -- why aren't the tragedy if you can actually got -- Pop up the big -- wondered why don't wait.

Well it's not a bad idea you know I think your future is in the entertainment and you'll also ask I would push this.

I don't think he's he's doing less. Playing it.

And I think is -- think Obama actually precipitate. --

I think yeah maybe I rarely do we had very bad he got out all. About the DNC gets more money completely.

Anybody -- from rebates. And lower than a minute particles are better quality proud that caused his heart.

Let me understand this John you think that. Obama and BP engineered this explosion.

How can I think okay he doesn't have been -- before -- district and abroad. -- you want something you created.

Yeah but those dead dozens. Doesn't life create these -- I'm I'm still thinking about. -- talking about VP and Obama being in bed again yeah now here's the chairman of BP. I didn't lose whatever same Sandburg was -- him.

If he's frustrated because he cares. About the small -- still cares about the start of the above this whole defense they care right here is almost sometimes love large always O'Reilly is a small all of our greedy companies have goals and I failed America. -- you -- we get our money behind my stretch limo now mostly.

I must say that the chairman took a lot of flack for the small people everybody knew what he was really made a mistake you know -- it was -- language and help you -- got upset about no we're not small people gimme a break so what's and there are it's a highly charged environment. And are there a little emotionally and I give them another guy who's from new work who doesn't use the language well itself whose ads -- yes he's from new computer equipment at the press here are given morning.

On it I try to direct this question GO. If applauded desk means a cluttered mind what just an empty desk made.

I'm not cluttered mind. I mean this just like I learn a sign me guess who haven't somewhere cluttered desk is a sign of genius yes and for those of us who are making nobody -- exist as it was underneath all the paper. Andrea your -- and WR KR I Andrea.

Think I'm Jewish star -- the dollar wealthy oil rented to pity and it is perfect now I. It really really good bit the way he dragged its feet about getting involved there. I cannot think.

That's a problem with -- they're one of the problems with John -- is if Barack Obama have planned this -- to you what to do anything -- would have been already. No response to --

Theory is that he noticed that Obama really didn't do anything about containing your hospital where the where government could have done something. And show her point is he deliberately let it pollute the whole area it's not the oral spill itself that G oral bill. The court it's not said the oral spell knowledge it come on are we -- layout that you're played that was Friday in any event unique. It's not this bill that is a problem it's the pollution from it and show her point here. That Obama and conveniently did nothing and let the oil law spread all over the goal to north feeds and there are heard this staff this morning it is shocking. The on the planet earth there are 2000. Skimming boats. Guess how many are patrolling. The gulf to clean up the oil. How -- 32. That only leave third in 19168. But you just get just to the Jones act. And why the Jones act has not been waived. You know we never heard about the Jones act -- nobody you know why because bush after Katrina immediately -- that it's not about wave -- if in the trouble is there has been no leadership on this thing so it is the lack of leadership in the horrible leadership. Is profound enough suits defeat areas like the ones where -- true but. Marshall bush 2000 scale -- I -- are under foreign flax and they cannot come into these waters because of the Jones act taken comments -- is there are invited the president just ask always say column -- do -- to waive the -- checked you ought to waive it. Let me and they looked -- people and then decide who wants to -- Dutch have offered them then with the Jones act is inconsequential because he can wave or whenever he wants to -- consequences. That he doesn't want the boats to be here that when the Norwegians called and the guide the Dutch called and which guys where the wooden shoes again why were the Norwegians who say they it's the day.

It's a hopeless situation if we go -- for leadership are gonna blame us time so let's just leave it alone like -- blame BP what do they do they spent two weeks and is BP's fault -- is gonna fix it means he's got to do this they they went back to their old formula of our view blamed the corporate world it's a corporate demons --

You don't let the people come in to clean up the oil you blame BP Larry I just -- for the ball no way they're jealous ex Soviet union's can get these. Clean out I think tiger wealth could jump the unions like the Jones act that's why I was put into effect in 1920. But it was waived by bush after Katrina and if you and bill is right and I think he may be the only reason I can see for for Obama. Not -- that this is a sop to the unions. Whose big supporters of -- others around him like he's a -- if.

Is only 32. Operating because that's all we have available in the wrestle world's offering more if if those are union votes and that's supporting those unions I don't see how allowing it they're still gonna be working even if we had all. 2000 from the last Friday that the unions apparently just turf argument yes you can you know they'll want. All of their all their flags and people who are not a matter I can't say you're wrong and because Democrats are clearly willing to sink the country 100%. In order to savor their prize the union -- I cannot figure out why we wouldn't take help lower consider my scenario. They misjudged they reacted too slowly they thought it was a much smaller spill because BP told first 2000 barrels a day. And the -- and got away from them all and then it's about catch up and then the catch our problem is how -- we catch over the looking like we're playing catch up. And it's all political none of its policy -- so why don't they -- it now then get to help renowned now already you're saying -- he's now kids they're agreed to invite these votes over. Now they -- during -- still not where if it doesn't matter if you don't always think if he invites the votes are gonna common they're gonna skim the water the water it doesn't matter whether you. Still ignore the Jones act of I have to -- going I agree I Jaffe ought to waive it.

But guys and let whatever it Arum Adobe color in this and this is doing that a lot of leader of the Senate yeah oh yeah and I'll I agreed. You know how else are you guys you know are those people like him don't call -- in times like this because they can't defend everything everything this guy has -- Scotsman the freedoms. My children money it's 60 and and given them more money and more power and more money here is coffers to buy votes when the time comes this is all this guy does. And that's all under the leadership of -- Rahm Emanuel. And prevent swap their luck god demolish.

Jeff what's your reaction when you -- when you hear that our people suggesting that this thing was a plan the event.

I really don't they could reshape -- have no matter what people are prospect -- an accident happened big and small well I don't think that the real conspiracy here I think he took. Direct chance I'll be operative it'd -- opportunity here. To make this -- that don't like well real certain that a lot of the vast go to waste yeah and they dragnet being pregnant she'd drag its feet and what do you console -- Absolutely nothing except blame people and get money that's all he does blame people they get money believe people get power this is. The leading Democrat way of doing it depend on the government will will solve that oil will probably don't do very -- like Martha Coakley said we don't encourage self help we want you --

Self help doesn't fit into the Democrats a business model so they're never gonna suggest that because they want everybody dependent on the government does that gives them more money to bribe voters with. But I I'm not sure that that's gonna work to their benefit in this case in less -- goal is. And they may be to push all this you know dumb. It is energy options honest to create an environment where those look viable financial. And if you make oil expensive enough maybe that's what the plan is --

All upset he's looking really bad and of course there's the other argument. Maybe we shouldn't be drilling. Have to drill so far down if we were allowed to drill a little closer and or use or drilling and long area up in Alaska. We were now he's from we went to nuclear power. You pointed out earlier that wind power and solar are just not gonna replace oil but that's a foolish idea to try to -- to the American people. Well the way we broaden this a little bit -- congressional hearings must not just Obama. -- commercial hearings yesterday. We're Tony Hayward was there and they yelled and screamed at him for a few hours what a shortage week. That in the middle of a crisis when you'd want the CEO of BP working full time he and his staff working full time. On solving the leak. Instead they have to take their time and resources and go before the congress so that these politicians construct and green.

Killing you cover their assets held an initial look like -- and they need some -- that's for the news. But you know -- why don't you know we ought to criticize them for you as well criticize them because everybody hates them raise your hand a real lots of time out you know raising your hand in the after this crisis is over I'll take their finger point that's close as a its original raising your hand Mike you're on WRK lobbies in overtime today I'm Mike.

Morning gentlemen you know -- it's not just the -- some other thing here is that one of the biggest shut down Leo Louisiana skippers the barges. There were cleaning up they get the marshy areas that demand grows. Coast Guard turned out her full I think life -- Feyerick.

Let's -- we're gonna get -- Jim mentioned and we've got to have the mayor to governor -- governor IEA and so -- so let me just set it up by -- brother Bobby jingle figured out. Then he had to do something because Washington wasn't doing anything to Barack Obama was trying to blow this thing -- governor of Louisiana BP -- somebody general gets some barges to go out there which I I was advocating for. A couple months ago and finally Bobby -- did it and the Coast Guard says no you have to stop -- the ships to -- it was working very well. Why did they order the ships to stopped as he explained in the sound cut -- Okay the reason this is the most Soviet thing about the whole thing listen this explanation. The Coast Guard ordered the stoppage because of reasons that -- found frustrating the Coast Guard. Needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers. And life vests. On board the barges that we're saving the Gulf Coast of Louisiana.

I don't know White House phone call yesterday morning at 830 talk to the White House talking Apple's site we do everything we can't get you -- Back deploy backup they're taken as well out of the water so what does -- frustrate you then you've got men working on these barges that live here in Louisiana. This has gone fishing out there and very very big for years. And literally the last 24 hours eight margin of why they literally watch that oil is that being able picking up any equipment they -- we're allowed to do so.

I we have become as stupid. As the old Soviet unit and of their strike because -- have tripping over our own rules. Timberwolves come first and and the sense that's one half when concrete issues -- we see your big government is the most deadly destructive force in the world. And the Democrats are the we pray for the people -- We pray that I had made guide us through the storm towards a brighter. Thank you god -- you. May god bless the United States from. When where where where where was a thing about the the fog in the ship. Is at the same CIA. We pray for that courage. We pray for the people of the gulf. And we prayed that I had made guide us through the storm towards a brighter in your break. I do love that. I mean -- that is it for his arms and I got that from Jeremiah Wright then did we played a little Jeremiah with that deal what.

You know we can we pray for what does god isn't looking. But later if if if Obama praised maybe got a hold Shia must've missed the gulf this problem in the gulf fund their take care what is idiotic comment we pray for.

And unless there are what's an idiotic about it was yeah they are terrorized the -- this guy who was so supposedly so religious. And winter reverend Wright's church every week for twenty years has not set foot in their churches he got elected president has picked one yet. A few fewer prayers -- more action would help -- along well. God is waiting to see full Obama who are more waived the Jones -- before and after we leave -- Jones act alone at 61726666. -- what do you think is going on in the gulf with the president's lack of response. That the situations are analysts and they seem to be popping up more every day as he does a response. He's responding in macro ways. These are responding in theatrical ways so there were the hearings on Capitol Hill yesterday which you objected to -- There's the speech he gave the night before this is two days he spent in the gulf there's that twenty billion dollar nobody knows how to do those are macro theatrical. Reactions but they're not get down on the ground and offer leadership. Bobby -- been doing that and he's getting hampered by Barack bureaucrats who were saying you know we have to go through the red tape before you can save the gulf.

But she is -- your talked about a man who doesn't have any executive is never let any thing and now we're seeing this guy couldn't find the mailbox by himself to take get them well and now and we -- being called on for executive action. He didn't even Mitt Romney made this point I think first. He didn't even figure out that he should call the head of BP and have a conversation with a which course would fuel the conspiracy of the conspiracy. Theorists who say the region in Comas because Erin Lee -- actually in the dark.

But while the salaries they call them is because there aren't conspiracy I mean they did have a conspiracy this week. They had a meeting the day before yesterday the last twenty minutes right the big meeting when they finally got together. Obama walked out after twenty minutes because the whole thing was prearranged. Very had to deal made. Well here it was for -- Iran. The -- meeting might have been -- I mean when his -- his -- using now aren't -- I -- on the Drudge Report now what stories are -- not Jewish and that's what had been sitting in the and then she was only going to be different choices really actually -- William bill -- is getting -- bloody minutes -- really -- for 25 right not -- spend -- Render what others say. He shut -- no I think they -- I think he's separately met with the chairman because Jerry did all this political pressure that he needs to meet with the CEO earliest total time there was 459. -- make a different point that I think he threw in the meeting with Stenberg -- the chairman of the board. Because he wanted everybody know it was a mean pressured into meeting with the -- literally seven weeks into enemies how do you not contact. The head of BP and try to -- incomprehensible obviously Jan you're on WRK RI.

I'm on my machine in -- McCain had better writers. In one aspect. What he'd done the soldiers intelligence of anybody being and it because some school record plaza. What it does everything it wasn't -- arm what.

I wonder if course -- Aaron Sorkin the guy who wrote that show. Is that this may -- I mean he was brilliant. You -- when you watch Martin -- you said. This is what it's like in the White House and that's the kind of guy you want to be present somebody who -- this. This access to history and perspective than knows how to give everybody -- when it's a script writer on your side as opposed to real -- Obama should bring in Aaron -- you do much better. Then -- today that's around running that.

Bring in the author -- guy whom the movie. They they you've brought in to help with the oil spill all ya yeah I know Vienna animation artists and whatever that is -- that's gonna help -- We just invent some some beings that suck up the oil or not he's --

Really when he was researching a movie. He had got this idea any event is some machine that did that does that. I don't know he's been involved with a he had an event to necessarily but he was he had the idea -- nicely -- guys that blue -- to know whether there's -- very anywhere you know I could mail mom there could be a movie guy is -- that I -- really strong went -- let's start with the Dutch gamers they got real bullets that now but they were those wooden shoes. But Wayne you're on WRL -- without.

We're closer we would float that's friends who did anyone catch the end of -- News newscast about. The retraining of -- her rapidly. Growing. Click -- clean energy and this.

What was I heard -- wasn't exactly they wanted the vets -- you look for lack quote cooks say. He was something about that they're gonna have eight I don't kids that's -- car they wanna send in the military. And the military job is gonna be to do something that is the most on military thing you can imagine what it's like they're gonna handle welcome wagon at something.

What does Rudolph button done then and start -- new line about don't blacked tuna packed -- and forty. I can't wait to say how many right wing radical off Hollywood film producers take it all the bush 9/11. Conspiracy theory and then. Kind of turn around it if Obama is. Behind.

Yeah well you're did you have a conspiracy theory went.

We -- gal once that happens that the government just -- the -- the president his news conference the other night well boy isn't just like there's bad. Hollywood B movie where okay get ready get ready and -- what he's started going to wait a green energy and done that died as a whole monster ball that's like and knew it was gonna.

It's a -- objects -- objects of the green energy I don't object to using this is a moment to talk about our energy policy because I think it's true we need to get off of oil. Particularly foreign oil well and we really shouldn't be putting -- in an unreasonable danger if we decide.

The I disagree always. This is not the time to be lecturing us on future policy this is a time to solve the immediate problem which is at the level of the disaster. I don't wanna hear about you know after Katrina bush fortunately didn't talk about you gotta do things with the -- That's not the time to talk about the grand future you've got people a lot of work you've got the beaches -- you've got animals being killed. And if I don't wanna hear about -- in ten years we can have some more Windmills not the.

Horrible what if it wasn't Windmills what if Hussein look. We have better energy options and at the same time that we've got this emergency on how we're gonna do everything we can -- so we have to think about getting some nuclear power plants. And using of the natural gas trees are so we have in this country and we got to get smarter about this to fix the bloody problem now you would have -- even if he did -- I just I might have.

might have been willing to countenance that if you if you could show that he's got this situation under control or is about to. And he says you know we can draw a lesson from this. But the first order of business is to save the drowning child not to election the drowning child about future times you go in the water.

Now let's -- the 617266. Exceeds sixty. Germaine you're on with Tom and Todd obvious in your time today --

Good morning I'm. It could have a good lawyers say look this is what happens you have a feel good president that America loaded bought -- case is -- is presidential run he was great he wanted to see seven -- telecasts. Can actually throw what's happening down in Louisiana.

You know I tell you it is it is certainly a legitimate theory. That explains why the inaction. Otherwise you're just left with an extraordinary talking about to talk a criminal enterprise that's unfathomable to sit there and left the oil washed ashore. Then you can read -- permanent damage.

Why don't you -- remember you ED Kamal instead of seven dollar delegate caches are blocked.

Keep all -- in this country -- eleven. I don't understand it before so I don't trust -- cabinet.

You won't follow.

There's conviction you'd like to take this thing drag out we expect it.

I agree -- all that I'm just you know I'm I'm very close to being worry you guys are on this I'm just. Second guessing myself a little I know how far it's hard to know whether it's.

Hard to believe that he could be that cynical but I keep asking myself the question how do we explain. Eight weeks. We'll be in action eight weeks. -- even if Obama does know what to do there are people around him who could pick up the phone and call others. And find out what to do I can understand the first few days he just call soon off to inadequacies in the office inability. Lack of executive talent. --

We jump but what if we -- originally we another scenario giving another explanation -- their first response is a political one like I told you earlier. All there's a little oil spill itself. You know X number of get out barrels per day it's it's bad but it's manageable. What put the pressure on BP we don't wanna get close to it because then it becomes our political problem let's just say it's BP's problem. They're the company OK it's their job and they take all heat okay I'll let our initial stance how long does that last. Com -- however long it lasts after you made that decision. You have to go through gradual process of realization that this. We used for your first response is guess what it's not a thousand barrels a day it's 5000. So then you say -- this get mad do you think we should reconsider our policy of of arm's length. You know. And then -- you have fights in the White House and then he had the same side wins and then it's 101000 say well this is spinning out of control we better do some pandering let's go out there make some statements and make us look like we're not as stupid as we are. And then at the end because -- initial wrong stance now it takes you much longer to -- arrow -- for eight weeks will and they are well they've been going aggressively at this for a couple but they once you're behind the eight ball. -- is like watching a football team a game where your team has fallen behind and.

They just stop this gamers because they have wanted to check to see if they have enough fire extremely well not Denny got the problem I million artists say that Joan Jack but he still hasn't been waived the Dutch gamers are still Holland somewhere. According you don't Denmark or Norway or wherever country -- they're not here are they not here because of the Jones and or because they have -- invited. Well additional those who want in the same Michele nun new I think you're blaming it on the Jones active the I don't second same place in the present could call -- get those things here immediately. -- Tool -- today they're trying to get out from under the momentum going yes and -- wires bring up the football analogy we've all Sierra last night with a you see the Celtics they have a great quarter or they have a great game where they dominate you say wow what they can meet this team anytime they want. Remember who was at the other night it was -- said we're not going back. Two well I bright that was a week ago where -- gone back to well. Well guess what they went back to well -- they -- and things change but the lakers were trying to prevent a little polish woman there's nobody here represents our events are stacked against some work through -- all or -- talks. All right we have Stephen Jackson WRKO.

They morning I thought you. Know are just a couple problems and well I mean. I can't blame Obama for the oil spill it all but why don't see why wasn't there are they want -- now -- worst case scenario. Does that but when it plays what is green bill. I mean you know we have actually -- you don't bring -- lot of -- you know it.

They are already there were already for Three Mile Island the reality is we're not ready for anything until it happens but I then would develop plans and then you have and then sometimes like this that way and you've got to -- act and that's what executive tells the exact and by the way. He doesn't want to blame bush knows Obama very it is felt -- bushes fault well no he's he's just saying the other one to blame anyone but then that's fair enough let you know it's bush I mean I don't think we need to be feel all horrible about ourselves and there was an explosion in the gulf -- relied entirely respond would be Nixon's fault are you --

Yes I'm the Jones act you have -- dot -- stop fighting and -- roadmap for the bond generations. And I'm on an instrument.

Noah our faith valuations get throw them -- Americans either. Yet to be American union people on the -- on the -- then they can sneak and they were complicit in the illegal immigrants to work right.

Pioneer on whether -- inside.

Does slow it but I just what do you talked about a president here but it would hire you but what -- about how he got -- out of that would American policy that everything -- done so far. Sort of an opportunistic. -- Britain. But something would happen you wait yelled let out of -- those welcomed by edge great ebitda that he dumped and this is why -- why that's why we need that. There's really try a follow that -- opportunity dot -- a look at. -- should look bad product. And gonna competent people I we need XY and be a while we can't be private -- that is why we need does that that's why the government to run XY and it is why we need. All these --

We -- he's already done that. So that's what he leadership is to Barack Obama how to kidnap our society and turn us into the Soviet Union and -- moving that way as quickly as you can imagine. Patricia RN WRKO.

Actually -- the -- the latest and it got our back pocket yeah straight talk about you know. What can order to generate crisis. You don't Holland the government it is not let's do -- Obama wanted it got out and I now. I can save you can show that a president would do this but there's a ulterior -- some extension that guy in the administration because the about academics without problems when really need it that people -- the academic and in the president's office right now. I'm that we needed somebody who who couldn't crisis it each week super smart people stop the problem not a good guy you'd think that every single day.

Yeah they're different ways of judging intelligence send us certainly that person you're referring to would be more intelligent so coming up let's discuss next time. Do we want a president who's more experienced or one has gotten less sixers may be Barack Obama's just to experience for the job maybe that's the problem green for present -- where am pretty. Breaks we.
