I guess I'm reading this as "Republican claims anonymous member of white house did something illegal but wont provide any details and the white house has no comment as they have nothing they can refute."

Vague implications of wrongdoing without details are akin to someone pointing a finger and saying "Shun! Shun!"

This administration is beginning to look very Nixonesque.

I would like to say I'm baffled by how little flack he's getting because of his crappy responses to the oil leak in the gulf after all the crap Bush got after Katrina, but it's not really all that surprising.

Bush didn't suspend Federal response to Katrina for 30 days; nor, for that matter, did he immediately state he was going to take credit for whatever solutions were presented for it. Obama, however, has already stated he's taking responsibility for any solution to the problem that does work. He's politicking the situation for his own gain, everyone else be damned.

Rynar:

Except, when the President intentionally makes it political, he should be held accountable for doing so. I do fault him for that.

But, it's ok, this oil spill will just make BP government property

This is only interesting to me because of the reaction of many moderate/liberals who heralded Obama as this new politician that would change Washington. i.e. they believed his hype and campaign promises.

Now they are shocked, shocked! that he's screwing the pooch and doing the same things every other politician does. His popularity is waning and they are jumping ship.

Obama is just an expert at publicizing himself and campaigning. He's a master at hype. He's never done anything useful as a politician. I don't know why people expected differently after he got elected into office.
