      What a tiresome pack of hyenas. I pity the poor schlubs who sit and soak up this crap all day long. The world must be a frightening place from inside their heads.

        Yes, and that isn't even considering Ingraham's voice.

            Laura is the airhead on the left, gretchen is the girl who pretends to be a dumb blonde on the right. Im still convinced gretchen is actually smart and plays this moron role to cater to the anti-intellectual red-neck audiences discriminatory tendencies - Gretchen has a better resume than every single other pundit on the network combined and she sits there googling czar and ignoramus and asking why ted kennedy who dedicated his entire life to public service is a hostile enemy of the united states

        Tiresome is right on the money. Same attacks applied to different subjects every single day.

        And Laura is the one who went to Iraq for six whole days and became an expert on the war, so she really needs to stfu.

      If GW Bush's record is any indication of what the president's job really is (lie us into war, ignore natural disasters that kill several thousand Americans, subvert our laws against torture, demonstrate an astonishing lack of interest in the duties of the presidency)...

      Then I would agree Obama is not competent to do THAT job.

        Don't forget the wonderful job of managing the Minerals Management office that the Bush admin excelled at with oil industry sponsored sex parties & such ... No doubt it's Obama who is incompetent. What a twit.

      What is pitiful is the person that they admire most, St. Ronnie, was far from competent. During his second administration people people were running rampant, selling the president on whatever they deemed legitimate (Iran/Contra). I really think that he was too far gone to notice, Alzheimers was already taking a serious hold. IF that defines competence to these folks, all you can say is "wow."

        I am surprised that more media people haven't talked about that - it seems clear to me that Reagan was impaired by something/some illnesses at that point in time.

      These are the people who elected G. W. Bush twice and who would elect Sarah Palin as President.

      these folks are a disgrace to what is supposed to be a news organization and Laura isnt competent to even be able to comment on what this president is doing,,to sit there and declare that how the bush administration handled Katrina way better than this oil spill is being handled is a total disregard for the truth not that fixed noise is capable of telling the truth i agree with nerzog, the follks that soap up this nonsense from clusterfox n friends are being thoroughly misinformed,,,utterly shameful.

      And, I would have to question the competence of someone with so much hatred inside for others being allowed to adopt and raise small children by herself.

      Whomever has the responsibility to listen to Laura Ingraham when she is on a program has my sincere sympathy. I can't listen to that nasal, self-important voice for more than 30 seconds.

      So Laura (and Rush and Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity and the Fox and Friends trio of Jack, Janet and Chrissy), put your money where your mouth is. If you don't like how things are being run, if you think leadership is incompetent, then run for office. Media figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, Fred Grandy and Al Franken put their media roles aside and ran successfully for public office. And three out of those four are conservative Republicans.

      If you know exactly what's wrong with government and why current politicians aren't doing their jobs with any competence, then do it for yourself. Otherwise, give insightful criticism, rather than silly and predictable snipping.

      "We don't have enough skimmers, we don't have enough boats...he can gather more resources than we have now."

      Thank you, Oil Expert Ingraham! Obama should just magic more boats out of nowhere!

      Seriously, what does she think, that not only has it not occurred to Obama that more boats and skimmers would be useful, but that it hasn't occurred to anyone in the Coast Guard or federal government? Obama's only real failure in this is not cleaning house at the MMS, but that too was a problem he inherited.

        Like Obama told Matt Lauer, he has been spending plenty of time listening to experts so that he knows what butts to kick to get the job done in the best possible way.

        What the right is taking advantage of is that this is a terrible disaster, and there aren't solutions for it that will totally solve all the problems associated with it!

      Obama 'not competent to shine W's shoes' . .

      Faux audience doesn't know about the oil spill 'cause they only watch faux which tells me they don't care about the spill.

      All the lemmings want to hear is Obama - BAD; Obama - BLACK!!

      katrina wasn't decades ago revisionist nutjobs - i think most people can still remember it. That mess bush called disaster response was run like the Hindenburgh. Moreover, no one was to blame for the original disaster and the hurricane had some sort of start and end point in which the relief effort could be initiated. BP and not mother nature is responsible for this catastrophe and it doesn't have an end point in sight which makes it a little hard to clean up something that is ongoing indefinitely.

      It would be like a three month long hurricane katrina - how would bush have faired with that one?? Finally, what the f--k would mitt romney be doing to help this thing right now? That is the second time laura airhead said mitt should be recruited because he ran some company - was it an oil rig company laura? Did he run a professional diving school? Shockingly, Your own ideas are more worthless than your talking points.
