Carville: Obama's federal government is 'just about to kill us'

*
Louisiana native James Carville complains to CNN's Anderson Cooper about the Obama Administration's response to the Gulf Oil disaster:



Carville was Bill and Hillary Clinton’s stooge, but he sure jumped into the tank for Obama in the summer of 2008. The Republican National Convention that summer, which was ironically cut short because of a natural disaster which hit Louisiana especially hard, was vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's introduction to most of America.

We wll never forget the image of Carville running around the RNC convention from news crew to news crew with a blown-up photo of the modest building that is Wasilla, Alaska’s city hall. Taking a page out of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Carville ridiculed Governor Palin at every network interview he did, holding up the photo on camera and saying, “This don’t look like no city hall to me. It looks like some bait stand down in South Louisiana.”

Our hearts and prayers have been with Gov. Bobby Jindal and the people of The Pelican State thoughout this calamity that has hit them harder than any other part of the coast. But as far as we're concerned, Snakehead (as his wife Mary Matalin affectionately calls him) can go pound oily sand on the South Louisiana shores. Lie down with beach dogs, and you're likely to wake up with sand fleas.

White House 'satisfied' with its response to Gulf disaster

*
Team Obama has responded to Sarah Palin's criticism via Twitter of White House chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's false claim that Texas Congressman Joe Barton's apology -- since retracted -- to BP's Chairman reflects GOP party philosophy:

Asked to respond to Palin, White House spokesman Bill Burton noted that some Republicans have defended Barton's comments about the $20 billion claims fund Obama negotiated with BP for victims of the Gulf Coast oil spill.

"We're satisfied that we're doing everything we can to take care of the folks in the Gulf region," Burton added, "and if she doesn't want to own Congressman Barton's comments, that doesn't surprise me."

The problem with Deputy Press Secretary Burton's comment is that while the Obama Administration may be "satisfied" that it is doing all it can to deal with the impact of the worst environmental disaster in the nation's history, most Americans are not at all satisfied with Team Obama's efforts.

Even a poll released Tuesday by CBS News and the NY Times, which oversampled Democrats in comparison to Republicans (by 432 to 302, after being weighted), found that a majority of Americans feel that the president's response was too slow (61 percent) and a plurality (47 percent) believe that he has no clear plan to deal with the crisis in the gulf.

Dov Fischer:

"At her memorable acceptance speech during the 2008 Republican Convention, GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin contrasted her duties as [a] governor... and... mayor... with those of Obama... An executive bearing the responsibility to get things done -- not merely to joust with problems intellectually, but actually to get them repaired rapidly -- gains experience both in failure and in success... Unfortunately, our president comes to his office without such senior executive skills, and we are now paying dearly on many fronts as he learns on the job."

Jindal takes Palin's advice; orders barriers built in Gulf

*
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has finally decided to take Sarah Palin's advice and ordered the construction of the barrier walls he's been asking BP and the federal government to build since the early days of the Gulf oil disaster:

Eight weeks into the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of the Mexico, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has told the National Guard that there's no time left to wait for BP, so they're taking matters into their own hands.

In Fort Jackson, La., Jindal has ordered the Guard to start building barrier walls right in the middle of the ocean. The barriers, built nine miles off shore, are intended to keep the oil from reaching the coast by filling the gaps between barrier islands.

[...]

The authorities say they're keeping a tab on the cost of the project and will send a bill to BP, adding to a huge list of claims from the spill zone.

Two weeks ago, Gov. Palin tweeted:

"Gov.Jindal:to avoid ravished coast, build the berms.Ask forgiveness later;Feds are slow to act,local leadership&action can do more for coast"

Sarah Palin: Starve the beast of terrorism by responsibly developing domestic energy

*
Sarah Palin made another common-sense argument for U.S. energy security Sunday on Facebook:

Fuel America with Terrorist-Tarred Oil Instead of Drilling Our Own, Baby?

Am I the only one who wonders what could possibly be the agenda of any politician who would thwart our drive toward energy independence? Continuing to lock up America’s domestic energy reserves, including the energy-rich Last Frontier of Alaska, only equips dangerous foreign regimes as they fund terrorist organizations to harm us and our allies. I’m going to keep speaking and writing about this in the simplest of terms until someone can provide a simple answer as to why liberal Democrats don’t understand that we have safe, warehoused onshore and shallow water reserves waiting for permission to be extracted. They either choose not to understand the geology, science, and technology behind an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy security, or they understand it, yet for whatever frightening reason choose to be lap dogs to Chavez and Ahmadinejad.

Shoot, I must have lived such a doggoned sheltered life as a normal, independent American up there in the Last Frontier, schooled with only public education and a lowly state university degree, because obviously I haven’t learned enough to dismiss common sense (a prerequisite for power in Washington these days). Help me out, friends! Help someone like me – and the majority of Americans – understand why we would ever kowtow and bow to foreign regimes that hate us, instead of doing all we can to starve the beast of terrorism in our plight for security, prosperity, and peace.

There’s an obvious common sense answer to our need for security and energy independence, but don’t hold your breath waiting for common sense to surface in Washington – it’s an endangered species there. Obviously we must responsibly develop our God-given domestic oil and gas reserves right here, right now; we must conserve energy; and we must develop renewables that are based on sound science, not snake oil and favors for political pals.

Please read the following Newsmax article (posted below) summarizing GOP efforts to push the Obama Administration to produce a plan to potentially wean us off one source of dangerous foreign oil. (Of course, I think the prodding should be even more aggressive to shake up the naïve complacency of anti-development Democrats and some deer-in-the-headlights mainstream reporters who are finally realizing they’d been buffaloed into believing any politician had all the answers.)

We must understand the imperative nature of energy security, along with America’s life and death need to secure our borders. Baby, this is why I won’t sit down and shut up about the need to drill.

Senators Demand Answers on Venezuela’s Links to Terrorism

A dozen Republican senators have sent a letter challenging the Obama administration to explain what it knows about Venezuela’s support for terrorism and suggesting that the country be declared a “state sponsor of terrorism.”

“Hugo Chavez’s relationships with Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations continue to grow and pose a serious threat to our hemisphere,” Sen. George LeMieux of Florida, one signer of the letter, said of the Venezuelan president.

“I encourage the State Department to thoroughly evaluate Venezuela’s actions and determine if the country needs to be added to the official U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.”

John Ensign of Nevada, who drafted the letter along with LeMieux, declared: “It’s no secret to the American people that Venezuela wishes harm to the United States. What is secret is how many more ties to terrorist organizations and state sponsors of terrorism does Venezuela need to be declared a state sponsor of terrorism.”

The letter addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton points to a number of concerns raised by Chavez’s Venezuela:

• Surface-to-air missiles and other weapons have reportedly been provided by Venezuela to FARC guerrillas in Colombia. An arms cache captured from FARC in 2008 included Swedish-made anti-tank rocket launchers that had been sold to Venezuela.
• Venezuela provides cross-border sanctuaries for Colombian guerrillas.
• A United Nations report last year disclosed that nearly one-third of all cocaine produced in the Andean region passes through Venezuela. The senators question how much terrorist groups such as al-Qaida profit from trafficking drugs that originate in or flow through Venezuela.
• The U.S. has frozen the assets of two Venezuelans, including one working for Chavez, for providing direct support to the terrorist group Hezbollah. The senators ask the State Department for an assessment of the activities of Hezbollah inside Venezuela.
• Chavez’s “extensive support” of the Castro regime in Cuba is calculated to amount to $1 billion a year, and Cuban advisors are involved in the intelligence and security apparatus of the Venezuelan government.
• Chavez “has repeatedly expressed support” for Iran’s covert nuclear program and announced a plan for the construction of a “nuclear village” in Venezuela with Iranian assistance. Also, Chavez has pledged to provide Iran with 20,000 barrels of gasoline per day.
• As for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, “recent years have witnessed an increased presence in Latin America, particularly Venezuela.”
• Weekly flights connecting Iran, Syria, and Venezuela raise suspicions of “nefarious purposes” because passengers on these flights have been subject to only “cursory immigration and customs controls.”

Newsmax magazine’s May issue disclosed that Iranian security officers seal off the airport in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, two hours before Iran Air jets arrived. Those officers supervise cargo unloading with no inspection by local officials.

Iran could easily fly in highly enriched uranium that could then be carried into the U.S. from Mexico, increasing the risk of a terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon.

If the U.S. did declare Venezuela a state sponsor of terrorism, American arms sales to the country would be prohibited, as would U.S. economic assistance, and severe restrictions would be placed on bilateral trade.

“The Obama administration’s decision to pull the trigger on Venezuela may hinge on whether the United States can afford to forfeit petroleum exports from that South American country,” Roger F. Noriega, a former assistant secretary of state and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, observes on the Institute’s journal, The American.

“Anticipating the argument that Venezuela’s oil supply is too essential to the U.S. economy to risk slapping that country with the terrorist label, the senators ask the administration to explain its ‘contingency plan’ for dealing with a ‘sudden and prolonged unavailability of Venezuelan oil exports to the United States.’”

In answer to the question, the U.S. would likely find new sources of oil on the international market — but Venezuela’s economy will be crippled by the loss of oil revenue and consumer imports, Noriega notes, adding: “Since the last years of the George W. Bush administration, U.S. diplomats have steered clear of Chavez for fear of ‘provoking’ him. Thanks to congressional oversight, we are about to confront the terrible downside of that naïve, passive policy.”

Other senators who signed the letter include John McCain of Arizona, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, and Republican Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona.

'Boobgate' was never about breasts

*
The big news this weekend is that Sarah Palin, in her appearance on Greta Van Susteren's "On The Record" program Friday night, put an end to "Boobgate" -- the flap driven by the false rumors that she had undergone breast enhancement surgery. These rumors had bubbled up from the blogosphere into the mass media. But most everyone is missing the point. "Boobgate" was never about breasts. It was simply a diversion, one of the oldest tricks in the political playbook.

The real news last week was that Sarah Palin, via Facebook and a couple of appearances on cable television, had backed President Obama into a corner over the Gulf Oil Disaster. First, she pointed out that the administration is culpable for its own part in the tragedy playing off the southeastern Gulf coast because the Interior Department granted BP an exemption from a detailed environmental impact analysis. Three reviews by Interior's MMS fatefully concluded that a massive oil spill was unlikely. So for all the president's demonization of BP, it was his own administration that served as enablers for the giant oil company's malfeasance. Not to excuse BP in an any manner. It cut costs and corners to the point where it was literally playing with fire, and the consequences speak for themselves.

Gov. Palin did an excellent job of explaining how, as governor of Alaska, her administration had to ride herd on BP and hold its feet to the fire to force it to drill responsibly. In doing so, she drew a clear contrast between her effective stewardship of Alaska's energy resources and Obama's reckless and dangerous failure to manage resources responsibly in the Gulf, as his administration matched BP short cut for short cut. She was demonstrating not only her effective record as a manager, but her considerable knowledge on energy matters. Gov. Palin was demonstrating yet again that she is no lightweight, but rather a serious and proven leader who had valuable executive experience where it counts.

Further, she pointed out that the president had let two months go by without even lifting a finger to talk to BP's CEO Tony Hayward. Talking about kicking backside is just talk unless you call someone to the carpet to confront him. Obama's lame excuse that Hayward would just tell him what he wanted to hear anyway rang hollow, even to the president's vest pocket media. So now he was put in the position of being forced to publicly stage a meeting with Hayward after Sarah Palin had criticized him for failing to do so early on in the disaster. There was no way to save face. What could those charged with protecting the president's public image do?

A diversion was clearly called for. Knowing the rabid appetite of the leftosphere, infotainment sites and mass media for juicy morsels about Gov. Palin, the silly rumor that she had acquired breast implants was fed to the pack, and the more they devoured it, the more raw meat was produced to keep the feeding frenzy going. All of a sudden there was nothing else being talked about by the nutroots left but a woman's bust. It is important to remember here that Obama had been drawing heavy criticism over his ineffective handling of the Gulf disaster from some sources on the left -- including Salon, Rolling Stone, and others -- that had traditionally been among his staunchest defenders. Their voices of protest against the very man they had previously elevated to godhood were all but drowned out in the tsunami of trivia regarding Sarah Palin's chest.

This is how Spillgate was morphed into Boobgate, at least for a short time. By the time Gov. Palin went on Greta Van Susteren's program to take the hot air out of the rumor balloon, it was well past the Friday deadline for grafting legs onto news stories. Boobgate had served its purpose. It got a lot of people to take their eyes off of the ball for the better part of a week. More importantly, is dampened the momentum of the negative fallout from Obama's incompetence. It was the tourniquet which slowed the rate of bleeding of the president's image through the week long enough for his triage team to catch a weekend break to cook up another red herring to continue to divert attention away from the complicity and incompetence of Barack H. Obama.

So as Boobgate fades from the national train of thought, it turns out that the only actual "boobs" involved were the rubes who fell for the scam. Diversion may be one of the oldest political tricks in the book, but it works like a charm nearly every time.

Obama takes Gov. Palin's advice; will meet with BP CEO

*
From our friend and colleague Gary P. Jackson at A Time For Choosing:

Well, well, well. Looks like once again, Sarah Palin tells Obama to jump, and he asks “how high?” Fresh of an epic online a** kicking, as only Sarah Palin can deliver, it looks like Barack Obama is going to take Sarah’s strongly worded advice, and talk to Tony Hayward, the CEO of British Petroleum.

[...]

Obviously, the Obama regime has to kinda downplay this, and do the maybe game. After all, it must be frustrating to know that once again, Sarah Palin was right, and has forced Obama to react to her, …. once again.

h/t: Graphic by Karen Allen

Related: From JewsForSarah.com:

As the nation reels in horror from the scope of the calamity, there is a growing sense that President Obama is responsible for an incompetent Federal response.

And now, many are beginning to ask, wouldn’t Gov. Palin have handled this better?

Update: Andrew Malcolm at Top of the Ticket:

Obama hasn't found a few minutes to chat with Tony Hayward, the talkative CEO of BP, the petroleum protagonist in this environmental drama. Not even on the president's ubiquitous, magically-secure BlackBerry.

Almost eight weeks. What's he afraid of? It took less than two weeks to set up last summer's historic beer summit.

Now, in a confrontational letter a White House official has invited Hayward to meet there next week with Obama aides and the boss would stop by. That will be nine weeks.

BTW, Today marks The Ticket’s third birthday. A tip of the Tx4P Stetson to Andrew, another friend, colleague and a true gentleman. He's brought a refreshing perspective to the LA Times, one which was conspicuous in its absence before he started blogging there.

Sarah Palin: Mr. President: you have to get involved

*
Sarah Palin spoke out on Facebook Tuesday, with an op-ed which scolds the media for not asking President Obama if he had met with BP's CEO, reminds voters that it is critical to have a leader with executive experience in the White House, and offers the president the benefit of her experience dealing with Big Oil:

Less Talkin’, More Kickin’

50 days in, and we’ve just learned another shocking revelation concerning the Obama administration’s response to the Gulf oil spill. In an interview aired this morning, President Obama admitted that he hasn’t met with or spoken directly to BP’s CEO Tony Hayward. His reasoning: “Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he’s gonna say all the right things to me. I’m not interested in words. I’m interested in actions.”

First, to the “informed and enlightened” mainstream media: in all the discussions you’ve had with the White House about the spill, did it not occur to you before today to ask how the CEO-to-CEO level discussions were progressing to remedy this tragedy? You never cease to amaze. (Kind of reminds us of the months on end when you never bothered to ask if the President was meeting with General McChrystal to talk about our strategy in Afghanistan.)

Second, to fellow baffled Americans: this revelation is further proof that it bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office (as if the painfully slow response to the oil spill, confusion of duties, finger-pointing, lack of preparedness, and inability to grant local government simple requests weren’t proof enough). The current administration may be unaware that it’s the President’s duty, meeting on a CEO-to-CEO level with Hayward, to verify what BP reports. In an interview a few weeks ago with Greta Van Susteren, I noted that based on my experience working with oil execs as an oil regulator and then as a Governor, you must verify what the oil companies claim – because their perception of circumstances and situations dealing with public resources and public trust is not necessarily shared by those who own America’s public resources and trust. I was about run out of town in Alaska for what critics decried at the time as my “playing hardball with Big Oil,” and those same adversaries (both shortsighted Repubs and Dems) continue to this day to try to discredit my administration’s efforts in holding Big Oil accountable to operate ethically and responsibly.

Mr. President: with all due respect, you have to get involved, sir. The priorities and timeline of an oil company are not the same as the public’s. You cannot outsource the cleanup and the responsibility and the trust to BP and expect that the legitimate interests of Americans adversely affected by this spill will somehow be met.

White House: have you read this morning’s Washington Post? Not to pile it on BP, but there’s an extensive report chronicling the company’s troubling history:

“BP has had more high-profile accidents than any other company in recent years. And now, with the disaster in the gulf, independent experts say the pervasiveness of the company’s problems, in multiple locales and different types of facilities, is striking.

‘They are a recurring environmental criminal and they do not follow U.S. health safety and environmental policy,’ said Jeanne Pascal, a former EPA lawyer who led its BP investigations.”

And yet just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration’s regulators gave the oil rig a pass, and last year the Obama administration granted BP a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.

These decisions and the resulting spill have shaken the public’s confidence in the ability to safely drill. Unless government appropriately regulates oil developments and holds oil executives accountable, the public will not trust them to drill, baby, drill. And we must! Or we will be even more beholden to, and controlled by, dangerous foreign regimes that supply much of our energy. This has been a constant refrain from me. As Governor of Alaska, I did everything in my power to hold oil companies accountable in order to prove to the federal government and to the nation that Alaska could be trusted to further develop energy rich land like ANWR and NPR-A. I hired conscientious Democrats and Republicans (because this sure shouldn’t be a partisan issue) to provide me with the best advice on how we could deal with what was a corrupt system of some lawmakers and administrators who were hesitant to play hardball with some in the oil field business. (Remember the Alaska lawmakers, public decision-makers, and business executives who ended up going to jail as a result of the FBI’s investigations of oily corruption.)

As the aforementioned article notes, BP’s operation in Alaska would hurt our state and waste public resources if allowed to continue. That’s why my administration created the Petroleum Systems Integrity Office (PSIO) when we saw proof of improper maintenance of oil infrastructure in our state. We had to verify. And that’s why we instituted new oversight and held BP and other oil companies financially accountable for poor maintenance practices. We knew we could partner with them to develop resources without pussyfooting around with them. As a CEO, it was my job to look out for the interests of Alaskans with the same intensity and action as the oil company CEOs looked out for the interests of their shareholders.

I learned firsthand the way these companies operate when I served as chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC). I ended up resigning in protest because my bosses (the Governor and his chief of staff at the time) wouldn’t support efforts to clean up the corruption involving improper conflicts of interest with energy companies that the state was supposed to be watching. (I wrote about this valuable learning experience in my book, “Going Rogue”.) I felt guilty taking home a big paycheck while being reduced to sitting on my thumbs – essentially rendered ineffective as a supervisor of a regulatory agency in charge of nearly 20% of the U.S. domestic supply of energy.

My experience (though, granted, I got the message loud and clear during the campaign that my executive experience managing the fastest growing community in the state, and then running the largest state in the union, was nothing compared to the experiences of a community organizer) showed me how government officials and oil execs could scratch each others’ backs to the detriment of the public, and it made me ill. I ran for Governor to fight such practices. So, as a former chief executive, I humbly offer this advice to the President: you must verify. That means you must meet with Hayward. Demand answers.

In the interview today, the President said: “I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”

Please, sir, for the sake of the Gulf residents, reach out to experts who have experience holding oil companies accountable. I suggested a few weeks ago that you start with Alaska’s Department of Natural Resources, led by Commissioner Tom Irwin. Having worked with Tom and his DNR and AGIA team led by Marty Rutherford, I can vouch for their integrity and expertise in dealing with Big Oil and overseeing its developments. We’ve all lived and worked through the Exxon-Valdez spill. They can help you. Give them a call. Or, what the heck, give me a call.

And, finally, Mr. President, please do not punish the American public with any new energy tax in response to this tragedy. Just because BP and federal regulators screwed up that doesn’t mean the rest of us should get punished with higher taxes at the pump and attached to everything petroleum products touch.

Jim Hoft: 'Shameless' Obama disses Gov. Palin during news conference

*
President Obama, taking to heart the wisdom of his White House Chief of Staff to "never let a good crisis go to waste," used the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to try to score political points against Sarah Palin. Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft noted Thursday:

Shameless after weeks of golfing, photo ops and vacationing, Barack Obama took a “drill, baby drill“ swipe at Sarah Palin during his press conference today on the mismanaged Gulf oil spill disaster.

Obama's exact quote was:

“The fact that oil companies now have to go a mile under water and then drill another three miles below that in order to hit oil tells us something about the direction of the oil industry. Extraction is more expensive and it is going to be inherently more risky. And so that’s part of the reason you never heard me say, ‘Drill, baby, drill!’

Gov. Palin fired back on Twitter:

"Ahh, that's much of the problem,Mr.President;Drill ANWR&unlock land for safe onshore devlpmnt/energy securty"

Touché.
