Comment: The lack of outrage by the media speaks volumes about their bias! by sam
Comment: the president hasn't done anything right since he started his term. he talked big and badmouthed the processes of previous leaders before him yet has excelled in their same ignorance and exceeded their mistakes by f
Comment: He has NOT been on top of the problem as he should have been. He has NO experience handling a situation of this type, nor did he assign any teams from the U.S. to assist. Lots of "finger pointing." States have asked for permissions to stem the oil slick from entering their marshlands and beaches and are still waiting. by Jim
Comment: Too little too late. Everyone blamed Bush for slow response on Katrina, well what do you know. by Jim
Comment: The lack of action by Obama will destroy the Gulf Coast for years! by michele
Comment: BO lies every time he opens his mouth. by Stan
Comment: I give him an F on his handling of everything! I have been a democrat all my life until now. This administration has made me ashamed of democrats. by Cathy
Comment: He does not know anything about handling the BP oil spill. Need to leave it to the experts. I think they are trying everything to get the well plugged. by Mary
Comment: Obama is nothing but a bunch of hot air...Talk is cheap..All talk and NO action...Grab a shovel and start scoopin is what I would tell him... by T
Comment: the obama sdminidtrstion spent more time discussion how it's going too punish BP, than helping those who become jobless because of the spill. by Mehdi
Comment: Most of the response from this administration seems to have been rhetoric; I'm not impressed. by Shawn
Comment: He lies. He's a communist and he's no good for this country. by Richard
Comment: Obama fails to tell the truth.
Comment: Just like everything else he has done or not done. Doesn't want to make a decision because it might hurt someones feelings. Worst President in history. He was campaining today in his news conference. It's probably George Bushes fault, because according to obama everything is. by Robert
Comment: would think the government would want to plug this thing as soon as possible, considering the amount of oil being lost. its like we invaded iraq for nothing. now we need another country full of oil who would be willing to attack us so that we can take their oil. by hector
Comment: Lack of knowledge and experience on the part of responsible government officials have made a bad situation worse
Comment: What good does it do for Obama to say he is responsible. His administration has proven they are incompetent. He thinks it shows him to be Presidential but it is too late. He took his time reacting to the situation. BP and its crews are better suited to handle the situation than a lifelong political Hack like him, trying to gain political points by saying what he thinks the people want to hear. To say that the decisions that are being made in the Gulf at this time are his administrations is foolish. How many oil well sites have they worked on? how many times have they even changed the oil in their own cars? He needs to shut up and let the professionals and experts handle the situation. When something happens for the first time, like this spill this is when they learn how to react to the situation the next time it happens, if ever. To try to act like BP or any company purposely let this happen and are not doing everything in their power to stop it shows the ignorance of Hussein OOPS Obama. Stop the dog and pony show and get the heck out of the way. by Art
Comment: President Obama is good at blaming others but refuses to take any responsibility for anything that goes wrong in his administration. by Lou
Comment: Disengaged for weeks, hurt and put- upon when they had to get engaged, and the resulting "action" is all finger- pointing and blame-casting. by Robert
Comment: Is there anything lower than an "F?" by Mad
Comment: Get over it! He is the "Great Pretender"!!!!
Comment: Amateurs go home!!!!
Comment: Oil is not the only slime in this mess!
Comment: He hasn't done anything but create committees. He doesn't have enough leadership experience to really know what to do and it shows.
Comment: Obama is just a politician speaking more politicaleze. He said the government has been on top of things since day one. That's another reason not to trust them with healthcare. by Nancy
Comment: The Obama Administration has done nothing but point fingers & cause alot of hype instead of helping out. Obama claims that they have been on top of this from day one & that this is all he thinks about from when he gets up till he goes to bed. Seem likke he has that confused with all of the sports he is more interest watching & visiting all the differnt teams. by Mike
Comment: I give him a f or lower grade on every thing this person has done so far.I dont believe it will get any better any time soon. by steve
Comment: He and his administration seem clueless as to what to do. BP is responible and they have admitted it and plan to pay for expenses incurred. We do not have to constantly hear from the administration that they will have the boot on BP's neck. by Lane
Comment: the Pres should have ordered massive clean up barriers to prevent the oil from coming ashore the best it could. His admin sat on thier hands by Mark
Comment: Obama has pissed in his whisky on this one. Sorry I voted for the guy. by Ed
Comment: The Obama administration should of had first day response. With help from everyone that has more experience. Like in the middle east this wouldn't of happened. They would have ships sucking up this spill daily. Not waiting for the next quick fix. by mark
Comment: He is ignoring the problem in hopes that oil spill will be taken care of. But the biggest question is who is going to pay the bill to the American people that are losing money everyday due to the oil spill. by Jenny
Comment: While it's not directly his fault, as President, it is his responsibility. It can still turn around but it's kind of embarrassing.
Comment: The entire BO administration is a joke
Comment: Obama doesnot care. His mission is to implement his climate change and this gives him opportunity folks. by Lawrence
