James Carville To Obama On Oil Spill:'Get Down Here And Take Control...We're About To Die' (HuffPo 5/26/10)

Democratic strategist and New Orleans resident James Carville is not relenting from his frenzied plea for President Obama to take a more direct and active role in addressing the Gulf oil blowout.

"The President of the United States could've come down here, he could've been involved with the families of these 11 people" who died on the rig after an explosion, Carville said on ABC's Good Morning America. "He could be commandeering tankers and making BP bring tankers in and clean this up. They could be deploying people to the coast right now. He could be with the Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard...doing something about these regulations. These people are crying, they're begging for something down here, and it just looks like he's not involved in this."

His voice rising, Carville cried out, "Man, you got to get down here and take control of this! Put somebody in charge of this thing and get this moving! We're about to die down here!"

Later, Carville said the administration needs "to launch a criminal investigation -- the Attorney General needs to investigate criminal negligence on the part of BP and what went on at MMS (the Minerals Management Service, the federal agency that regulates offshore drilling). There's a thousand things that he could do. He just needs to get down here and start doing something, people are dying."

Wow! I had heard that Carville called upon the president to be more involved, but had no idea he had been so openly critical of him. He'll be on the Dem's sh** list, now - if he wasn't already. lol I'm glad he had the guts to say what he said. Party politics be damned. This is a real disaster, and it needs to be given proper attention. James has his priorities straight in calling Obama out - and not trying to smooth over the issue in the name of party loyalty.
