[citation][nom]feeddagoat[/nom]Still in denial about the extent of this? Seems the most likely course in my eyes and if it does itll end up on Irish shores. I hope BP are willing to pay for the clean up in that case. The other thing I can't understand is the attitude its Obamas fault. What do you expect him to do? Walking out on water, say one word and everything will be ok? This is purely BP's fault for screwing up in the first place, and not have a suitable plan for this case of scenario.[/citation]
I'm not saying it's Obama's fault. But, once a problem reaches a catastrophic scope that jeopardizes civilization health, safety, and welfare, the government should typically respond. The current administration's complete lack of involvement is reprehensible. The spill has been going for over 45 days. In that time, what exactly has Obama done? Parties, vacations, and demonstratively displaying the nonchalant "I can do no wrong and point fingers" attitude are all I have seen.
The previous administration was slammed for the Katrina response. This current disaster is FAR worse with global ramifications. Go on thinking that Obama/our government should do nothing if you want. When the shores of other countries are covered with oil, lets see who they blame. My money is on blaming the U.S. government for not containing a problem that originated in U.S. waters.
