We did this. BP was our tool. And now we're mad at daddy because he can't fix it.

1. the elite did this, he was elected to lead, especially in times of crisis

fyi

[Uzybone]

3. its not just the "elite" who bought Hummers

[ShamelessHussy]

they were the ones who set up this rig, and undermined regulations, and skipped safety steps

not we the people

[Windy]

5. and he has been leading. Just because he isn't on the Tee Vee everyday

doesn't mean he's not working his ass off. No president in my lifetime (52 years) has ever worked as hard as this man, especially given the unique obstacles he faces.... a republican obstructionist party and a media with far too much power, combined with the populus who refuse to read a newspaper or get their information in any other places and rely on cable news opinion journalism to tell what to think and how to react. We are in a very sad place in this country!!!

8. Thanks for saying that!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who still has faith in our president!

9. when i see the facts on the ground change, then i will believe that

us gov in charge, armadas of skimmers/tankers in the sea, armies on the ground, whole oil industry involved, international effort.

for starters... then i would agree with you.

2. Precisely

We did have help (including BP and Corporate America) but ultimately your are absolutely correct.

4. Bull, solar and wind are our tools. BP got crammed down our throats

and solar/wind demeaned and spit upon by TPTB.

7. What Obama did right; reframing energy, indirectly hanging BP spill "albatross" around GOP neck

This speech will be FORGOTTEN by tomorrow's evening news. The Oval Office BP asskicking will be the big story.

Right now Mary Matalin is whining that Obama is getting political about energy. My wife just shouthed back at the TV, "Quitcherbitchin' loser!"

6. Oh, baby!!
