The BP Oil Spill Gets A Dead Whale And Barack Obama Alienates America’s Friends

VICTIMS of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill have a totem – a dead 25-ft sperm whale has washed up on the beach. And BP has Joe Barton.

Barack Obama Is Less Popular Than Offshore Drilling: BP News Round-Up

While the UK turns on Obama and realises that all that hope was just hype and hoopla, Americans are moving against their self-serving, grandstanding president.

BP Disaster 2: Carl-Henric Svanberg Feels For The ‘Small People’

Rep. Joe Barton has apoligised to BP at the start of Tony Hayward’s grilling. Hayward is the victim of a £20billion “shakedown”, a “slush fund” with “no legal state“.

Obama has the money. Big Government has the money. Lots of contracts need to be signed to clean the spill. And Big Government can do it better and more openly than corporations with shareholders?

Barack Obama Is Less Popular Than Offshore Drilling: BP News Round-Up

BP oil spills into the US Gulf. Barack Obama tries to sound Churchillian, talking of an “assault” on America’s beaches and nation under “siege”. Obama wrests £13.5bn from BP as compensation down payment. BP chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg says BP will not pay a dividend to its shareholders. The news:

DRILL BABY DRILL:

Most Americans still support offshore drilling and believe it is critical to making the U.S. competitive, despite the growing oil spill along the Gulf coast, a new poll showed on Wednesday …

In a national survey of 522 adults, on a scale of 0 to 10, the average show of support was 6.3 when asked if the government should allow offshore drilling.

An Anorak readers writes:

Obama is milking this for all it is worth to the American people and starting to come across as quite disgusting and it is not helping his low ratings, since BP had already stated weeks ago it would take care of everything.

Down with Obama!

A Record 57% Of Americans Disapprove Of Obama’s Performance

Daniel Hannan On The Isolated Obama

Not that we should feel singled out. The Obama administration has scorned America’s other established friends. It has betrayed Poland and the Czech Republic, whose Atlanticist governments had agreed to accept the American missile defence system at immense political cost, only to find the project cancelled. It has alienated Israel and India. It has even managed to fall out with Canada over its “Buy American” rules and its decision to drill in disputed Arctic waters. Never has there been a worse time to be a US ally.

David Cameron Reacts:

Cameron said he wouldn’t enter into “megaphone diplomacy” with Obama in the face of calls from listeners to the show for him to take a more aggressive stance in defense of the London- based company.

Daily Mail leader:

Mr Obama gave a televised address in which he once again attempted to rescue his own faltering popularity by attacking what his administration has been careful to characterise as a foreign oil company.

Obama Moves To Take Over BP’s Goodwill Funds

BP is being taken over by Barack Obama. Well, not all of it – just the bits that do good works and reflect well on…Obama:

White House officials on Sunday said they wanted BP to put “substantial” funds into an escrow account to cover claims by Gulf Coast businesses and residents affected by the spill.

President Barack Obama plans to bring up the idea at a White House meeting Wednesday with top BP executives, including Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg.

The call was echoed by congressional leaders and state officials. In a June 10 letter to BP released on Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and other Democrats asked BP to establish a $20 billion account, administered by an independent trustee, that would be used to pay the damages and clean-up costs associated with the spill. Florida Governor Charlie Crist and other officials in the Gulf Coast region joined the chorus.

It remained unclear how any such funds would be supervised, in particular who would oversee the compensation decisions. Administration officials on Sunday didn’t comment on the size of the escrow account they will seek, or on where money might come from. Nor did officials detail the legal status of the proposal.

Such a fund would provide a measure of security, proponents argue, for people concerned BP might file for bankruptcy protection or otherwise stop paying claims at some point in the future. It also has the potential to give the government or its designees control of distributing a significant pool of relief money.

Oh, thanks Barack Obama. Cheers for the cash you are redistrubuting. Not your cash – BP’s. And you will do a better job of getting value for money than a big company.

World Cup: Barack Obama Thanks ‘Agent’ Beckham

Barack Obama, David Cameron And The Mystery Of Robert Green’s Slick Gloves: Pictures

DAVID Cameron might consider himself fortunate there is war on. He gets to stand among the troops at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province and look hard.

And tough Dave’s been on the phone to Barack Obama to remind him that soaking Robert Green’s gloves in BP oil was an inspired ploy and left everyone feeling equal and happy.

England V USA: One Green Disaster After Another Green Disaster

Dave and Barry then, apparently, had a chat on the phone, although we think such calls should take place on a party line and give us all chance to listen in. Downing Street then issued a press release:

World Cup: England v USA Death Blog (Pictures)

President Obama said to the prime minister that BP was a multinational global company and that frustrations about the oil spill had nothing to do with national identity. The prime minister stressed the economic importance of BP to the UK, US and other countries. The president made it clear that he had no interest in undermining BP’s value.”

Britons Wake Up To Realisation That Obama Is An Opportunistic, Vain Politician

BARACK Obama. What a ****. Not our words, not those of “sweetheart” Kayla Manson (no relation), but the opinion of the Mail which says The One’s posturing to the US electorate over the BP oil spill. As the headline yells:

“OBAMA IS KILLING ALL OUR PENSIONS”

Considering Obama views Britain in much the same way Great Britain views Gibraltar this is not too shocking. He stood Grodon Brown up for the scouts and loved the slave gift.  The popular consensus is that £1 in every £7 in the nation’s pension pot is driven by investment in BP. Obama talks of slamming BP and we suffer.

BP And Tony Hayward Are Now A Nigerian Scam: Letter

President Barack Obama says he’d have asked BP Chief Executive Officer Tony and want to find an “ass to kick”.

Barack Obama Proves He Knows Nothing About Immigration In ‘Countries Like Europe’

IMMIGRATION is the hot topic in much of Western Europe. From Dutch extremist Geert Wilders to Gordon’s Brown’s “bigot” Gillian Duffy and the likes of Abu Hamza, the English Defence League and more the flow of people is a big issue. But not to Barack Obama. Barack Obama tells a crowd that “countries like Europe” do not “replenish” their human stock with new arrivals.

In America you can come and go as you please. As anyone who has queued for a visa to the US and been met by those smiling faces at immigration knows, the US embraces all colours and creeds to its lands.

Barack Obama Refuses To Die In a Plane Crash, Poland Weeps

POLAND’S President Lech Kaczynski Obama dies in a plane crash. The air above western Europe is pebble–dashed with Volcanic ash from Iceland (oh, dread nation) and the Washington Post says Barak Obama failed to get to the funeral. Here’s the headline:

Obama skips Polish funeral, heads to golf course

Skips? Ok, Obama plays a lot of golf. Joseph Curl says Obama has played golf 32 time since taking office in Jan. 20, 2009. Obama has, most likely, played more golf than Tiger Woods. But did Curl expect Obama to fly through the no-fly zone and risk dying in a plane crash to pay his respects to a man who, er, died in a plane crash?

Britain’s War Of Independence: Obama Surrenders And London Rejoices

ON the Anorak Forums a debate is raging on the end of the so-called special relationship between Britain and US. Barack Obama doesn’t care much for the UK – and that’s pretty much how we like it. We like being the underdog in the UK.

This is our war of independence – and Obama surrendered without a fight.

Dear Gordon: Relationship Advice From Barack Obama

We can stand alone and moan and grumble. We need to be put in our place – a small, damp island off the coast of Europe. The US should make friends with France and further restore the sense of inferiority that made Britain great.

Lyndon LaRouche’s Whale Enablers ‘Impeach Obama’

DEMOCRACY was in action this morning as Lyndon LaRouche’s extremists set up a table on Sunset Boulevard near the Starbucks and tried to draw passersby into conversation and then hit them up for a donation.

Old men walked up to yell insults from a safe distance, women screamed obscenities from passing cars.

The first time we saw the LaRouchies and their card table was thirty years ago in the small town of Wilton, Connecticut. Back then, their sign read, “Feed Jane Fonda To The Whales.”

And that’s really important for you guys, too, because it’s not just if you can sing and dance, but what do you give back?” And it you can get sticking rich and get off your face in the process of giving, then all to the good…

Barack Obama’s Tiger Woods’ Diplomacy Hides The Dalai Lama From China

WHILE you were reading about Israeli forces and MOSSAD maybe taking out a Hamas miltary leader – no, not in bussload of civilians  but in a hit that owes more to Austin Powers than James Bond (we see the faces and the CCTV – how’s that for top secrecy?) China this morning protested over USA President Barack Obama’s meeting yesterday with Tibet’s Delai Lama.

Did you hear about it on the front pages or the headline news? No? The Delia Lama is a totem that politicians meet to make themselves look good. Nelson Mandela is busy.

Barack Obama Harks Monica Lewinsky In Khloe Kardashian’s LA Lakers: In Pictures

ALL eyes on Barack Obama – including his own – as he met Khloe Kardashian and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers. Kardashian is married to Laker’s forward Lamar Odom. So. She gets an invite to the White House’s East Room. Incidentally, Kardashian and Obama have more in common than immediate air space and vests. Barry is the subject of a photo that tells the Story Of O. And Kardashian says that pic of her on the cover of OK!, the shot of her advertising her baby in the manner of an Indian beggar offering a coruncopia of organs to a busload of lung doctors, was “Photoshopped” to make “my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not.” Such is the vanity:

Spotters: Ace of Spades HQ, Tim Blair, doubleplusundead, JammieWearingFool, Cold Fury, Mary Katherine Hamm and Perfunction, who frames the picture in this Obama quote:

[Retiring Democrat rep] Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”
