Carville Takes On Obama On Oil Spill:He’s Risking Everything With Go Along With BP Strategy(HuffPo 5/21/10)

Democratic strategist James Carville and MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, two reliable supporters of President Barack Obama, have issued withering critiques of the administration’s handling of the Gulf oil spill.

Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that the administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical” and that Obama was “naive” to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort.

“I think they actually believe that BP has some kind of a good motivation here,” he said. “They’re naive! BP is trying to save money, save everything they can… They won’t tell us anything, and oddly enough, the government seems to be going along with it! Somebody has got to, like shake them and say, ‘These people don’t wish you well! They’re going to take you down!’”

OK, we can expect this from Carville. He was never all that into Obama in the first place. Remember, this is the same man who wore PUMA gym shoes with a suit at the 2008 convention in Denver. Plus, we're talking about his home state here. No surprise that he's pssed off at Pampers.

But looky here at what Mr. Tingles has to say!

Likewise, Chris Matthews argued during a “Tonight Show” appearance that the President was to “acting a little like a Vatican Observer.”

“The President scares me,” he said. “When is he actually going to do something? And I worry; I know he doesn’t want to take ownership of it. I know politics. He said the minute he says, ‘I’m in charge,’ he takes the blame, but somebody has to. It’s in our interest.”

The EPA has now given BP 24 hours to begin using a less toxic dispersant, but Carville says the government’s primary failure was trusting BP to handle the clean-up in the first place.

“Right now I wouldn’t trust BP to do anything,” he said. “And nobody does”

Right - Carville isn't that big a surprise. But Tingle Leg - wow. I am shocked. He usually finds a way to justify everything Obama does. Guess that tingle is becoming more of an irritating itch. lol

BTW - I know I've mentioned this before, but I try to state it again every time I comment on a BP article. BP was a huge contributor to O and the Dems in 2008. Last March, O rewarded BP with an exemption from a legally required environmental impact study - to be done prior to drilling. Repeat - BP gave O big bucks. O allowed BP to omit the environmental impact study.
