Deliberately ignoring the fact that their party makes up HALF of "the government".

Also forgetting that it was their administration that approved the drilling plan as well.

Eleanor Clift is hardly a rightwinger.

I like Eleanor. Didn't hear what she said. Could well be that there is something they could have jumped on faster. But that's what I was saying before- they should just stick to that. Bringing Katrina into doesn't help the argument in my opinion because all you can say is "this isn't really anything like Katrina". I ask the same question, what should they have done sooner and what effect would it have had- what would be different today?

I would not believe anyone on McLaughlin's show. Anymore than I would believe Rove "But why didn't he call in the air force" , how stupid can you get.

You'd have loved the English guy, a nominal leftie. He slammed Obama, said he's giving Great Britain the cold shoulder and screw the special relationship.

That got Eleanor going lol.

Perhaps when he fails to respond?

Hey Pete, what is it that Obama should have done sooner and what impact would it have had on the situation as it stands today?
