		<description>Who pays for Obama’s campaign travels during this mid-term election?
Obama, get back to work!

We need some help from the GOP concerning Obama&#039;s campaign travels. 
Obama is the President and he should be running the country. 
Obama should not be spending my tax dollars to campaign for the Midterms. 
How much money is he spending on plane fuel, secret service, hotels, and food? 
It all comes out of my tax dollars. 
I am a Republican and I don&#039;t want my tax dollars spent on Democratic campaign apperances by Obama. 
Obama, get back to work and run this country!!</description>

		<description>I would like to know who are these people that are ever polled about anything?  

I read today that Obama&#039;s approval rating was lower then ever and that America had lost faith in obama poll by the Washington Post. 

Funny thing is I work with people from nearly every spectrum and most all whom I speak with seem happy with Obama.  There are a few who are not but they are usually faithful to the GOP and their bias disqualifies them, as does the few who are far left.

Wouldn&#039;t it be lovely to see how many people were polled, what the language of the poll looked like and how many responded.  I would love to see what the Washington Post considers the American People.  

They have been openly accused of reporting on anti-Obama chain e-mails without sufficiently emphasizing to its readers the false nature of the anonymous claims.

I would advise Reuters to use a disclaimer with anything the Post reports.

Marcus Brauchli, editor of The Washington Post, wrote in a memo to employees that was obtained by Reuters. ...&quot;We are not a national news organization of record serving a general audience...&quot; 

So I ask you... Whom do they serve?</description>

		<description>The size of the disaster has grown beyond the Coast Guard to handle. It&#039;s not Coast Guard Admiral&#039;s fault. But the regular military has a far more robust chain of command and far more robust capability. Passing the National guard off to the States may appear to give President Obama cover, but the paralysis there hurts him more than it hurts local governors.

President Obama may also be thinking too much like a lawyer. Sitting back and letting BP continue to screw up might work for a smaller scale problem, but it makes the U.S. government look inept or calloused at the larger scale of the currently understood Gulf Disaster.

Another dangerous mistake is for the Obama administration to conclude that since the oil can not really be stopped (once it is in the water) that there is no reason to over exert itself as the oil comes ashore or into the marshes. But this isn&#039;t what the public needs right now. If the administration were to mobilize troops (and naval vessels) directly and on a grand scale. 

This is a case where struggling valiantly and losing against the incoming oil works far better politically than doing less, because we &quot;know&quot; that it doesn&#039;t matter anyway.

		<description>The plan is to dig another well by the end of August. That&#039;s the plan. Burn off the oil inthe meantime and keep cleaning. What else can they do? Get real about this. Americans want it all today or yesterday. That is a national trait. We are an impatient people. Do you expect the CEO to stand on the beach and wait this out, wringing his hands? They go on with life and do what they have to do.</description>

		<description>With Obama now so inept, such a socialist pacifist anti-free enterprise, should BP be forced to pay for the La. oil slicks that he would not allow Jindal to build??? Should Fla. whack him for its spoilage ? Can this guy do anything but destroy our capitalistic framework? His leftist policies have dealt blows to America, our allies, and our citizens. Yet, the MSM covers for this inept Alinskite. Some may be waking up as Dowd, The Post, even some mags. who are asking-----Is this the end of Rico???? The Chicago Thug?</description>

		<description>The environmental wackos pushed America so far off shore. We need to drill closer to shore and on land. I&#039;m sick of leftist nuts dictating the demise of our country.</description>

		<description>What CAN he do? He should wave his hand and just make it stop spewing oil. Where are the Drill Baby Drill people now?

We never should have drilled so close to our shores unless there existed technology to take care of this type of problem.

Were are the right wing nuts who pushed for off chore drilling?

Obama has done as much as he can.</description>

		<description>How many of the people who voted on this question even know what Obama&#039;s options actually were?  BP must cork the leak. BP must pay for the cleanup.  Were the government to say, &quot;Step aside, sonny, we&#039;re in charge now,&quot; the taxpayers would end up footing the bill for this.

Obama has done all he could.</description>
