Well, we have the White House arguing with BP over who released more accurate info in the beginning of this oil spill crisis. We have every politician hopping on board claiming responsibility for the idea of launching a civil and criminal investigation. Lots of political hay being made. We’ve got guys over in Florida letting us know the spill is a few miles off shore now. They’re calling authorities to come pick up the sticky pelicans. It’s already hit Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. There’s Anderson Coop-ah floating around the marshes in a boat. We’ve got political pundits postulating about Mr. Cool’s inability to emote rage. Even Hollywood film director Spike Lee is encouraging Mr. P to do a little fist-shaking.
What we don’t have: a US-led team of crack experts working the GD problem (scientists, engineers, drilling experts, oceanographers, hell, other US oil companies) and a stream of communication about this to assure us that THEY’RE ON IT!! This is so basic!!
I am so disgusted. The lack of leadership here is appalling. Would someone please hand our president a bullhorn? Is he in denial about what is happening?
No, this is Bobby, not Barry -- (Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal)
If the powers-that-be had spent 2/3 of this effort and energy into actually trying to solve the problem instead of boldly posturing and posing, the problem would have been solved weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSo much hot air, and no way to capture it... too bad for a major missed opportunity to obtain some free alternative energy. We could have built a big wooden platform right in front of one of the wind turbine farms here in Oklahoma, taken all of the politicians and put them on the platform then let them rip. The volume of hot air put out from this crowd of useless blowhards could have powered OKC for the next six months.
