The BP oil spill threatens coastal Louisiana, Gulf Coast fisheries, Gulf of Mexico ecosystems, and perhaps the East Coast, as the spill reaches the loop current.
What is the President doing? How long do we have to wait for action?
When FEMA dropped the ball after Hurricane Katrina the news was plastered with angry celebrities calling Bush evil.Where the hell is Spicolli now? Brad and Angelina?
Anyone? Bueller?
Shouldn't Obama be calling all of the greatest scientific and engineering minds in the world to stop everything and help find a way to staunch the flow of oil before it kills an entire ecosystem of ocean life and pollutes our seafood supply?
Nah, maybe James Cameron will know what to do. He is a pretty good film director.
Is Michael Moore making a movie lampooning Obama for his sluggish impotence?
I ain't holdin my breath on that.

Good post. An additional thought: what does this administration have to gain by possibly intentionally dragging their feet? One of their stated platforms is to get the United States off of petroleum-based energy sources and on to "alternatives" (WTF ever those are). Combine that with a president who openly calls the private sector "the enemy" and you could come up with all kinds of interesting theories. If this thing is still gushing come post-election in November, we'll see what the true intent really is. Think nationalization of BP NA.
