Ron Paul is Completely Wrong....

by the Left Coast Rebel

....on the issue of Obama's culpability regarding the Gulf oil spill. I understand that Ron Paul is attempting to make a philosophical point (in that the President should never be considered the end all to be all) but the philosophical point is beside the point considering what the press and poliltical machine sold Obama as. Heck, Obama himself thinks that he is the Messiah, can 'fix' America in his image (because he is an authoritarian and knows better than the peasants). Anything is fair game, in my opinion to show that Obama is fallible, and ludicrously elitist - not to mention ragingly incompetent. It is a valuable, teachable lesson for the American people to see this with their own eyes.

Ron Paul is wrong:

Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican lawmaker from Texas, said that people were expecting too much from the president in his ability to react to the ongoing spill into the Gulf.

"I'm a pretty big critic of the president," Paul said during an appearance on "Imus in the Morning" on the Fox Business Network, "but I just don't see the justification for coming down hard on the president." "I think it represents the idea that the American people think the president is everything to everybody that he should fix an oil leak," Paul added.

Ron Paul would have been smarter here to say that Obama deserves all the blame he gets because he is part of an authoritarian regime that thinks they can micro-manage every aspect of American life. Perhaps he should have said that the oil spill shows that the Federal government has no business in the health care industry too.

Then again, there wouldn't be much chatter if he had said that.
