OBAMA & GULF OIL SPILL

Peggy Noonan believes this is the third time in his first two years in office where he has showed failed leadership.

The original sin in my view is that as soon as the oil rig accident happened the president tried to maintain distance between the gusher and his presidency. He wanted people to associate the disaster with BP and not him. When your most creative thoughts in the middle of a disaster revolve around protecting your position, you are summoning trouble. When you try to dodge ownership of a problem, when you try to hide from responsibility, life will give you ownership and responsibility the hard way.

"If Bush had said it. . ."

Obama desire to downsize the Coast Guard crisis center before oil spill.

McCain: "Out of his depth?"

A liberal states that failure to lead has doubled the crisis.
