Poll: Obama administration gets low marks on oil gusher response

By Agence France-Presse
Monday, June 7th, 2010 -- 5:48 pm

More Americans have a downbeat assessment of the federal response to
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill than to US relief efforts following
Hurricane Katrina, a new poll found Monday.

A month and a half after the BP spill began, 69 percent of respondents
to an ABC News/Washington Post poll gave a negative rating to the
federal government response, compared to 62 percent who gave a
negative rating to its handling of Katrina two weeks after the
devastating August 2005 hurricane.

The poll also found that about three-fourths of Americans feel BP and
its partners took "unnecessary risks" while drilling in the Gulf.

About 81 percent rated BP's handling of the disaster negatively, and
some 64 percent said the government should pursue criminal charges
against BP and other companies involved in the spill.

Did the poll ask if you'd rather have a Bush, McCain, Clinton, or
Reagan in the WH when the disaster happened?

No, but I bet if they had, the response would have gone 70-30 for Obama.

Did the poll ask if you'd rather have our troops on our borders,
instead of scattered all to fuck and gone around the entire planet?

Obama did worse with his Katrina than Bush did with the real one.
They were both hurt by the same thing--the perception that they're
out of touch and don't care about those affected.

Or if we would rather have a national debt of $500 million right now
instead of $13 trillion?
