Obama’s Gulf Oil Spill
He said he’s been fighting from day one – you decide. Based on Kevin Kristy’s photo essay at PolitiPage.

Computer Model Of Where the Gulf Oil Is Headed
This is almost poetic. Remember Obama declaring he would lower the Sea levels? Oh…. The Audacity of Karma.
A detailed computer modeling study released today indicates that oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico might soon extend along thousands of miles of the Atlantic coast and open ocean as early as this summer. The modeling results are captured in a series of dramatic animations produced by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and collaborators.

Obama’s Carter Moment
We could simply recycle “America Held Hostage” to describe the Obama Regime.
“This is the worst,” a Democratic friend exclaimed over the phone on Tuesday, the first day back at work after the Memorial Day weekend. I knew without asking what he meant — the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico that dominated television coverage and was into its second month with no quick solution in sight.
No, I told him. It’s not yet the worst.
They haven’t built a popular new television program around it — yet. No one has created a new media franchise for himself out of it. There isn’t a name for it that has become part of popular culture.
I was thinking back to when another Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, found himself stymied in another seemingly endless ordeal. Iranian militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 officials and workers hostage for 444 days, while the United States was helpless to free them.
Many of us recall the event by the name that became attached to it: “America Held Hostage.” That was the title ABC News slapped on its half-hour news update that aired each night, with Ted Koppel as anchor. The show later became the long-running program “Nightline.”
