Obama’s Kayfabe

In the world of professional wrestling, kayfabe is the illusion of events and personalities within the industry as being “real.”  In other words, the portrayal of professional wrestling as being genuine or not fake.

Tomorrow night, President Barack Hussein Obama (peace be unto him) will address the nation on the subject of the Gulf Coast Oil Disaster, some 57 days after it began.  It will come after he completes his 4th trip to the coast, arriving today and staying down there through tomorrow morning.  He will travel to Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi in order to assess the damage and play with some more tar balls before he returns to the White House to deliver his speech.

Tuesday night, he will deliver probably the most important address of his Presidency.  

In a worst-case scenario, the oil could cause billions of dollars in damage to property, wildlife, livelihoods and the seafood industry all along the southeastern edge of the United States and take several years to fully clean up.  The problem is, that is just speculation.  Nobody knows for certain what the extent of the economical and ecological damage to America’s Southeastern Coast will be, nor how long it will take to recover or if America will.

What then, will Scooter say tomorrow night?

David Axelrod, Obama’s Senior Lackey, err, adviser, said the president would announce plans to make BP create a BP-funded escrow account that will pay for damage claims from the worsening oil spill. In addition, Axelrod said, the plan would call for an independent third party to handle the claims process.

Axlerod told reporters:

The president will use every legal device at his disposal to make sure that this money is escrowed and that there is an independent administrator so that claims are not slow-walked, people can get the relief they need in a timely fashion and that we don’t create more victims from this terrible disaster.

Asked if Obama had legal authority to force BP to create the escrow fund, Axelrod said:

The advice is that we have the authority to compel such an escrow fund if it comes to that.

Axelrod noted that BP had “legal responsibilities to its investors but they also have a moral and legal responsibility to the people in the Gulf, and they need to satisfy that.”

The president is also expected to address efforts to contain the spill, the timeline for capturing the oil, the long-term recovery and restoration of the Gulf region and regulatory reform efforts at the Mineral Management Service.

I’m sure we’ll also hear about how he’s been on the case since Day One.

Scooter will meet Wednesday with BP.  This will be his first face-to-face contact with top company officials, after 57 days of questions about why he has not met with them before now.  BP has acquiesced to the Regime’s demand , and the chairman of BP’s board, Carl-Henric Svanberg, will come.   He will be accompanied by BP’s embattled chief executive, Tony Hayward, who has been publically blistered for statements that have been considered insensitive and self-serving.

In the midst of complaining from Britain that the Obama administration and the United States are excessively bashing BP, Scooter discussed the disaster on Saturday in an all-encompassing phone call with the new British prime minister, David Cameron.  (I guess he was trying to make up for lost time.)   A White House statement afterward said that the two men agreed that “BP must do all it can to respond effectively to the situation.”

Questions remain. 

Why did Obama and his adminstration wait so long to get engaged? 

Why didn’t federal officials implement an oil spill clean up plan they’ve had on the books since 1994?
Why has Obama refused to waive the Jones Act of 1920?
Known as the Marine Merchant Act,  it requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried in U.S.-flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U.S. citizens, and crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. 
Obama could waive the Jones Act by signing an Executive Order in about 3 minutes, less time than it takes Obama to put a tee in the ground on a golf course.  The Gulf needs all the help it can get.   
Why is Obama refusing foreign entities with better expertise and equipment in oil spills when they offer to help?   

Three days after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, the Dutch government made such an offer.

It was willing to provide ships outfitted with oil-skimming booms, and it proposed a plan for building sand barriers to protect sensitive marshlands.

The response from the Obama administration and BP, which are coordinating the cleanup: “The embassy got a nice letter from the administration that said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’” said Geert Visser, consul general for the Netherlands in Houston.

Back to the present.   55 days into the disaster, President Barack Obama spent four hours on the golf course Sunday in temperatures that peaked in the low 90s.  The White House  press pool said that they left Andrews Air Force Base as it started to rain after 4 p.m.

People have been saying that there has to be some political reason for the horrendous response of Obama and his administration.  Nobody can be this arrogant, unfeeling, and stupid, intentionally, can they?

Guess what?  They have been running a kayfabe on us.  The real story is that they are “not letting a good crisis go to waste” and they are going to use this tragedy as the means to institute cap and trade, thereby paying back all their supporters and advisers like Jeffrey Immelt and G.E., who have invested so heavily in the con game known as Green Energy, and at the same time paving the way for the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Listen to what Scooter told Roger Simon in an interview for politico.com, Friday:

Obama — facing mounting criticism of his handling of the BP gusher, even from longtime allies — vowed to make a “bold” push for a new energy law even as the calamity continues to unfold. And he said he will use the rest of his presidency to try to put the United States on a course toward a “new way of doing business when it comes to energy.”

Obama, speaking from the Oval Office, said:

In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11.  I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come.

So, Obama and his administration have been playing us all for suckers.  And the consequences of his agenda-driven procrastination will be felt by all Americans, not just the residents of the Gulf Coast, and could continue to plague the country until the generation of our grandchildrens’ grandchildren.

Heck of a job there, Scooter.

    KJ, it is immoral what these people are doing to this country for their own personal power. If this can’t be labeled as treason, I don’t know what can.

    The sad part of all this is the amount of young people I have met, who, even at this point, proudly tell me they voted for ‘Scooter’.

    57 days to formally address the “57” states…

    That’s another reason to exclude Heinz products from my shopping list…

    Again, IF I were the paranoid type, I could think an agenda by this (mis)administration was at play in their woeful response to the Gulf spill. Maybe something like; a series of ineffectual steps and mis-steps in dealing with all facets of the situation, followed by an announced 6 month moratorium on offshore drilling, closely followed by the in-demand large floating offshore oil platforms repositioning to other areas (Brazil, North Sea) of the world – not to return for up to 2 years, followed 57 days after the fact by a National address by the Precedent to announce a new push for clean energy production instead of an “all of the above” approach to satisfying America’s energy needs…

    I can’t be that cynical, can I? The POTUS would never intentionally harm the Country he was elected to lead…Would he???? Could he?????

    Shhhhh, there’s that noise again…

    Something is rotten in Denmark… in fact, everything this creature is involved in stinks to high heavens. Each day as I watch the media turn a blind eye to the obvious cover ups and lies of this administration, I feel a little more helpless. May God be with us in November…
