I'll give you 6/10. Lots of anger and self-righteousness, good alliteration. You lose points on creativity and lack of clever spellings.

I see the PB oil spill and the drought as dissasters the federal government did nothing to help with.

The BP oil spill was a man-made disaster. I guarantee if Obama had rushed in and spent a bunch of money on the clean-up, you'd be criticizing him for that.

The drought is more analogous to Katrina. As someone who abhors government spending and handouts, what do you think Obama should be doing regarding the drought?

OK, get all serious on the thread here:

Yes. They could definitely have done a better job, but it was a natural disaster.

>I see the PB oil spill . . . as dissasters the federal government did nothing
>to help with.

?? Nothing? The C-130's that were spraying dispersant were owned and operated by BP?

Once again, the government could definitely have done a better job, but it was a disaster caused by a combination of BP's carelessness and bad luck.

>the drought . . .

====================
The federal government is buying up to $170 million worth of meat, poultry and farm-raised fish, the Obama administration announced this morning. “Because of the drought, there are a lot of folks out there that are trying to sell meat right now,” Obama later told reporters while visiting the parched McIntosh family farm in Missouri Valley.

“So, just like you might buy more chicken when it’s on sale and freeze it, we are going to stock up. Prices are low; farmers and ranchers need help; so it makes sense.”

. . .

“This won’t solve the problem. We can’t make it rain,” he said of the new aid. “But this will help families like the McIntoshes in states across the country, including here in Iowa. And we’re going to keep doing what we can to help because that’s what we do. We are Americans. We take care of each other. And when our neighbors hit a rough patch, we step up and help out.”

Exactly.

So you want him to take more action and spend more federal money to help people who are down and out. OK, I'll keep that in mind.
