On Tuesday night, Barack Obama announced his next takeover bid.
Previously, he’s taken over the health care industry, the American auto manufacturing industry, and he’s nearing his total capture of the financial services industry. Thankfully he had no interest in college sports this week, otherwise Missouri might have watched him take over the Big 12.
Now, he announced in his “This really isn’t as bad as Katrina, and if it is, it sure isn’t my fault” speech from the Oval Office, he plans to take over BP’s operations in the Gulf.
President Obama said, “Tomorrow, I will meet with the chairman of BP and inform him that he is to set aside whatever resources are required to compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of his company’s recklessness. And this fund will not be controlled by BP. In order to ensure that all legitimate claims are paid out in a fair and timely manner, the account must and will be administered by an independent third party.”
Of course, I’m sure BP has no say in who that third party will be. Do you think ACORN would be interested?
However, the point of this post isn’t to criticize Obama’s pathetic response to the Gulf oil spill problem.
No, it’s to report on something much more sinister than that.
Tuesday night, live on television, the world witnessed the President of the United States announce a jihad against the American Spirit.
In front of an international audience, President Obama announced that risks – whether they are successful or not – would no longer be tolerated in American business.
Read his words carefully.
“You know, for generations, men and women who call this region home have made their living from the water. That living is now in jeopardy. I’ve talked to shrimpers and fishermen who don’t know how they’re going to support their families this year. I’ve seen empty docks and restaurants with fewer customers -– even in areas where the beaches are not yet affected. I’ve talked to owners of shops and hotels who wonder when the tourists might start coming back. The sadness and the anger they feel is not just about the money they’ve lost. It’s about a wrenching anxiety that their way of life may be lost.”
So, what he’s saying is the fact that people are not coming to the coast “even in areas where the beaches are not yet affected” is BP’s fault? Really? So now we’re fining BP for the fears of others?
I’m not defending BP. This is their spill, and they should be held accountable for the damages that result. However, for the leader of the free world – who has shown responsibility in fiscal matters equivalent to that of a seven year-old who’s been given $1,000 to play with in a Toys R’ Us – to come on global television and say private industry can be held liable if people think something might happen is ludicrous indeed.
I could go on about this “independent third party” slush fund that he wants BP to create, but really, when you have a president as fiscally irresponsible as Barack Obama, do you really need to say more? At what point is it just overkill?
In any respect, do you think the entrepreneurs of tomorrow are suiting up for business this morning, ready to invent the next big thing…especially with big brother waving his finger in their faces? Last night, live on television, we watched a murder. And the man pulling the trigger was Barack Obama.
