...i just have to think that this video might be getting a teensy, weensy bit more play in the media were it to have come from a republican:
"it turns out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don’t cause spills."

Yeah I first saw this on Think Progress where they nailed him for it back in April. I see that is one of the big differences between the two sides- Liberals seem almost eager to attack their own when they think he's wrong, where conservatives tend to say "My Guy, right or wrong."

It kinda makes me want to get a refund for the $20 I paid for James Carviile's "Stickin': The case for Loyalty in Politics" when I see him and his wife ripping into Obama.

Rachel Maddow has been consitently critical of Obama's stance on drilling, even before this disaster.

yeah, can you two not admit that if it was a republican there would be headlines and that clip would be shown over and over and over again and there'd be 12 threads talking about it and everytime anyone mentioned the president someone here would make a play on words using that? no? ok. think progress and maddow? that's what ya got, huh? ok.

I haven't watched Fox in a while- They aren't showing it? Frankly I'm surprised. You really think Obama's not getting beat up about this spill?

"oh christ on a f***ing biscuit"

I thought during Communion that Christ was the biscuit.

Oh well.

Back to the topic.

Admittedly I haven't been as plugged in lately, but the two places I heard about this before this thread were the Huffington Post and Frank Rich's column, and they sure weren't talking about it favorably.

Namo, I am with you. Obama has been getting slammed on the left for supporting Off Shore Drilling and that was before the BP disaster.

And I agreed with the slammers, but I have been recently informed that I am an eco-extremist and it's all my fault the Gulf disaster happened and that I have a secret agenda to keep American unsafe through its dependency on foreign oil.

Yep, you know all of those clean-energy types are clearly eco-terrorists who only want that oh so terrible goal of energy independence achieved.

Meanwhile, Halely Barbour goes on to blame the media rather than BP, and the GOP is still pushing drilling as a solution for a problem that cannot be solved by oil.

I did hear about this....and it was a relatively critical report... it might have been NPR or Huffington Post. Maybe BBC? I get my media outlets very confused.

I wish the liberal media WOULD talk about it, because me and most of the liberals I know have been. Why isn't the liberal media liberal? Isn't that why Reagan invented the term?
