And let's not forget GOP Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who goes a step further.
BROUN: Our President he is utilizing this crisis of this oil spill to try to promote this energy tax. And I’ve had numerous people, all over the district, question whether his poor response to this oil spill was purposeful so that he could promote his energy tax. I don’t know, maybe.
RON PAUL: Well you forgot he can write executives orders and do anything they want. So, it is a real mess. If a state needs some manpower, generally they don’t have manpower that might be able to help out and that maybe be their National Guard unit, they’re out in Afghanistan and Iraq. […] But yes, I’m very suspicious of BP and our government is doing and even the Obama administration, and that’s why I’ve challenged the principle, this agreement they have to set up this fund, this 20 billion dollar fund. That sounds like a lot of money but I think it could be a lot of mischief, and that was done by executive order.Can you imagine how quickly a sitting Member of Congress would have been impeached if they had publicly said that Bush caused 9/11 on purpose?
Why is it completely acceptable then to say Obama caused the Deepwater Horizon disaster? Obama Derangement Syndrome...catch it!
I agree that ODS exists but those quotes aren't exactly accusations that Obama caused the oil spill. More along the lines of suggesting that Obama is using the spill to further his scary far-left agenda. I merely bring this up because you have a conservative trolling your blog and he'll probably pounce on that.
