It cracks me up that someone who I can disappear from my life with a simple click of the X thinks they can have any effect on me with their simplistic name calling
I'm sure Noam Comsky would even call that "tolerance". 
That always makes me giggle to. I especially like their tactic of name calling then recoiling in horror if someone calls them a name.
I know - it is pathetic. I mean, i consider myself a true liberal, but when I examine the other 99% of those who call themselves the same I simply shake my head and smile.
That was only AFTER the right wingnuts leaders (Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter) had whipped their minions into a frenzy. So he went down there to placate the mentally bankrupt. And it appears to have worked. Thinking Americans knew that his going there wouldn't help the situation any. Actually, he probably was just in the way.
You mean right wingers like James Carville? How about all those other LEFT WING politicians and columnists that echo the very same thing?
You need to look beyond your bias lenses.
P.S.
I'm also a liberal who voted for Obama (albeit I'm now having buyer's remorse)... and though I'm not that hard on him over the spill, I see a LOT of hypocrisy coming from the "Bush causes hurricanes" Left-wing crowd.
Yeah, right. I believe you.
I beleive you said that Obama should take more photo ops, and then you criticized him for going to a photo ops.
You're obviously sincere
I don't guess I have a classification. I believe in following the CON and am generally conservative, but on the other hand I recognize that not everything is black and white and just being a hard ass stingy conservative is to harm the greater good.
I am often lambasted by conservatives on such issues as gays in the military, welfare, and other similar issues. Damn being conservative doesn't have to mean not having any compassion no more than being liberal has to mean not having any common sense.
Emphasis mine.
You hit the nail on the head, mate.That is exactly it - though I will tell you, being a liberal, there are for less sympathetic, open-minded and tolerant people on the left than on the right - that comes from personal experience. Heck, take a look at any of these threads around here... I bet the first name-calling or flaming came from someone on the Left. Sad, but true.
it is true, and sadly they want to then act like the right started it all. I mean look at the absolute hate that was thrown Dubya's way, now some of that may have been deserved some not, but what's the first thing you hear if you say ANYTHING about Obama ? Racist................... Of course it doesn't help that some supposed conservatives are running around questioning his citizenship and calling him a ****** and such............
Just goes to show stupidity and ignorance don't know left from right.
Carville wasn't crying about the president not visiting the gulf coast.
He didn't want the POTUS to come to the gulf, he wanted BP to do more and faster.
Not exactly true.
To quote Carville, "And it just looks like he's not involved in this! Man, you have got to get down here and take control of this!"
In any case, that's not the argument being made from what I've read.
Emphasis mine.

Actually, the right did start it all.......and it began well before W. Try 1964.

Carville wasn't crying about the president not visiting the gulf coast. Carville was blasting what he felt would have been a more robust effort if the spill had been off Cape Cod. He didn't want the POTUS to come to the gulf, he wanted BP to do more and faster. Afterall, it's his home the oil is heading for, so that is understandable.

Good Lord the poor flat headed liberals are getting destroyed in here!!!!
Texas - you are truly kicking ass on this day.
I didn't criticize Obama - I was pointing out the hypocrisy of your bashing Republican/conservative photo ops.
Still waiting on proof of where I "lied".
I don't know. Maybe he should have done something, You know, made an effort that showed he gave a darn.
And that makes another conservative without a clue about what hasnt been done, but who is certain something was not done

Obama could have Okay'd the berms to be made to protect the shoreline without an environmental impact study. La. asked for 24 to be made, and 17 days later the feds said 6 and they will pay for one. Obama could have honored the requests made by La. for the boats, booms.....vacuums to help suck up the oil before it reached land. Obama could have Okayed the chemicals to help break up the oil. In other words, Obama could have streamlined a lot to reduce the environmental impact.
I'm not saying this spill is Obama's fault, it is on his watch though. There is plenty of blame to be spread around and starting with BP.
Sangha, conservatives aren't as stupid as you would think, but you seem to really be out of touch with your IQ potential

Some are criticizing Obama for not doing enough in response to the oil leak that BP created. (Of course, some of those same people are criticizing Obama for doing too much).
However, when I've asked many of these people what Obama should have done, they suddenly stop posting. So far, only one whiner has offered a suggestion, and it was.....get this... Obama should have put his boots on, and gone to LA to have his picture taken on a oil-stained beach wearing his boots.
So let's hear it you oil cleanup Einsteins? Are you going to wimp out like you usually do and not post in order to avoid having your ignorance and hateful hypocrisy revealed, or will display some strength of character and meet the challenge?
He should have immediately recruited industry experts to sit in with BP and work on creating solutions. Not government regulators but real subject matter experts. There is a lot of talent in the world and he should have done everything possible to bring them in to focus on this problem.
Obama should avail himself of the current technology for oil cleanup, that is:
vacuum up the floating oil into tankers/supertankers. offload the oil/water mixture,
separate it, dump the water, load up again. This should be down NOW.
