Last week, it seemed, environmentalists were finally ready to let loose on President Barack Obama over the Gulf oil spill-- called by some America's worst-ever environmental catastrophe.
Actress Q’orianka Kilcher chained herself to the White House fence while her mother slathered the “Pocahontas” star in black paint meant to look like oozing crude.
Kilcher’s cause? Not the Gulf spill at all but oil-related abuses of indigenous people in Peru, whose president was visiting Obama that day.
As the greatest environmental catastrophe in U.S. history has played out on Obama’s watch, the environmental movement has essentially given him a pass — all but refusing to unleash any vocal criticism against the president even as the public has grown more frustrated by Obama’s performance.
About a dozen environmental groups took out a full page ad in the Washington Post Tuesday — not to fault Obama over the ecological catastrophe but to thank him for putting on hold an Alaska drilling project. “We deeply appreciate your decision. ...” the ad says to Obama.
President Obama is the best environmental president we’ve had since Teddy Roosevelt,” Sierra Club chairman Carl Pope told the Bangor Daily News last week. “He obviously did not take the crisis in the Minerals Management Service adequately seriously, that’s clear. But his agencies have done a phenomenally good job.

Is this a surprise to anyone? The kenyan gets a pass from everyone except the American public, but this regime has made us irrelevant. I normally hate to see the summer end, but for the first time in my life, I can't wait for November. IF we are allowed to have a fair election (which remains to be seen), we will finally be able to tie the hands of the communists until we can clean house of them in 2012. If the election is rigged (which it will be-it's just a question of if they can overcome the landslide) and the public is ignored again, get ready for bloodshed.
You were irrelevant under George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, too.
You just didn't care until a biracial man took office.
I don't care about these environmental groups. Environmental individuals are ripping the Big O a new one over the oil spill reaction in the lefty press -- as they should.
The Feds suck at emergency response, right or left or in between.
Hey 1:47-Everyone is sick and tired of the racism defense. The kenyan is a faliure on every level and all you can do is point fingers of racism. When will you face reality? Communism is not a race. It's not his blackness (or biracialness) that I object to-it's his redness. I can't stand harry ried or nancy pelosi either, but I WOULD have voted for Condy Rice if she had run. How do you explain that one? Wake up fool.
Just to make it clear , Obama hasn't made a mistake yet. He doesn't do anything , so how can he make a mistake? What a waste!!
