Ditherer-in-chief makes a decision on international assistance...


And it only took him two months, one week and three days to do it!


The United States is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The State Department said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. is working out the particulars of the help that's been accepted.

The identities of all 12 countries and international organizations were not immediately announced. One country was cited in the State Department statement -- Japan, which is providing two high-speed skimmers and fire containment boom.

More than 30 countries and international organizations have offered to help with the spill. The State Department hasn't indicated why some offers have been accepted and others have not.

You'd think that accepting assistance would be a skill gleaned from all those years of community organizing. You'd be wrong.

  1. I like that "Ditherer-in-Chief", very fitting for the one at 1600 PA ave. He always has to be pushed into doing those things that rub him the wrong way and then it only after he can no longer avoid the issue. Obama could care less about the people on the Gulf Coast---remember that part of the country is "red" not "blue" and being the political animal he is they will slow to get help. If the spill had been on the Great Lakes by Chicago he would have set up head quarters in the Sears Tower!

    When the history of the Obama administration is finally written, it won't be about the first black president, but rather the most corrupt president.
