After all, if the liberals can jump on George Bush after 3 days for Hurricane Katrina, Obama can get some heat after 35 days of "hope and change" while actually doing nothing.

I'm curious Joey, since one of the Right's main "platforms" is less government, what would you guys have said if Obama launched a huge Federal initiative and assistance( ie...BIG money) the day, week after this had happened? Wouldn't you have screamed "Why are my tax dollars going to help clean up BP's mess?" I can't believe you would have supported Govt involvement when it was obviously someone's else's fault. To compare Katrina, a natural disaster, to a BP responsible explosion is night and day. Plus, the levee that broke in NO was a Federal structure, wasn't it? No part of the BP initiative, other than the $71,000 given by their employees I guess, was their responsibility. So where..in a situation like this, with 100% culpable blame assigned to a company, do Reublicans draw the line between Govt involvement and less Govt is better? It just goes back to what I feel..everyone wants the Govt out of their lives until they need the Govt in their lives.
