Spike Lee is not so happy with a one President Barack Obama over how he handled the Gulf coast oil crisis.

Specifically, Lee is upset that Obama “trusted” BP executives and for taking seven weeks to invite the families of 11 platform workers killed in the explosion to the White House.

Spike tells GQ magazine, “I don’t know why Obama ever trusted these BP guys! They would lie to their mothers. (Former BP president Tony) Hayward does not give a s**t. The thing we don’t talk about is that 11 Americans lost their lives and it took seven weeks to invite their families to the White House. I’m not trying to bash my man, but that’s a long time.”

Lee recently produced and directed ‘If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise’ — an HBO documentary about the oil spill — which premiered last night. The second part of documentary will air tonight.

Do you think President Obama acted appropriately, or did he take too long and trust the wrong people? Chime in and share your thoughts!

    If Jesus Were Alive Today

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d surely feel despair,
    Amidst a world of plenty,
    And a bounty that’s not shared.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He wouldn’t understand,
    The system of oppression,
    And how so few give a damn.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d certainly be distraught,
    Because the animals of Earth,
    Are not treated as they ought.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    His eyes would have some tears,
    And based on all the evidence,
    I’d say he was sincere.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d have to jump and shout,
    To wake us from our slumber:
    “THE FUTURE IS IN DOUBT!!”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    You know he’d try in vain,
    To save us from each other…
    (No doubt he’d go insane.)

    If Jesus were alive today,
    I expect we’d be rebuked.
    It is likely he’d remark:
    “Knock it off before I puke.”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    No way he’d vote for Bush;
    To those who say he should,
    He’d say, “Kiss my tush!”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    With Bushies he’d be pissed:
    “Ignorance is no defence!!!
    Otherwise, get yourself a psychiatrist.”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d put John Kerry in his place,
    As the world’s lamest candidate:
    “Why’d they even let that Jackass race?!”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    Boy, would Congress get a smack,
    For practically everything they’ve done,
    Especially for trusting Jr. with Iraq.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d say the media was to blame:
    “Don’t think I haven’t noticed
    That you ass-clowns have no shame.”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    The Democrats he would scorn,
    For keeping out Wes Clark:
    “Was it fucking yesterday these fools were born???!!!!”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    Obama he would ream,
    For leaving b p in control:
    “I’m so angry I could scream!!!!!”

    If Jesus were alive today,
    His sense of humor would be great.
    Too wry, perhaps, for some,
    But that’s how he’d get laid.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d be branded as a cynic,
    Because no one wants to hear,
    If it’s raining at their picnic.

    If Jesus were alive today,
    He’d force us all to see,
    That hope and love are the answer,
    To who we’re supposed to be.

      …(and if he’s so good why does he speak of ass-clowns)?!!

    I’m with the other BP (Brad Pitt) that these bastards people (the other BP) should be threatened with the death penalty. That might get their greedy asses in gear.

    This is part of an agenda to end the Age of Pisces with deserved contempt for the lazy masses that have bought into the massive frauds the Elite perpetrate on the world every day. Sad but true, most people have no clue how serious this is and no one is rallying enough people to make a difference. Prepare for conditions to worsen for the rest of your life. This planet is experiencing it’s 6th Mass Extinction Event. Mother Nature is cleaning house, and there’s a lot of useless humans under her broom…
