It's assinine to compare the two....

I'm not "comparing" anything - I'm stressing the importance of the President of the United States of America role in salvaging one of our only unreplaceable resources, while keeping a level head and assuring our nation that he is involved at the highest level...Sorta like actually showing up...

Not sending his dimwitted lackey who is directly complicit in the entire mess...

Not putting the importance of jetting off to California to raise money for Barbara Boxer above this - this will be the downfall of any legacy he had envisioned for himself.

I thought you had compared Bush's reaction of 9/11 to Obama's of Day 35 of the BP spill?

There are two different arguements happening here...If you want to say that by now the US Govt should be more involved?..Sure..I can't argue that. But to say that situation is comparable to Katrina or 9/11 or to say it's Obama's Spill is crazy I think. It's just Republican's looking for an edge.

Or it's Independents and Libertarians sick of Mr. Talkie-Talkie and want him to actually do something other than Talkie-Talkie.

Then there needs to be more of them because otherwise they will be stuck on the sidelines sending in plays

9-11 - Bush was in charge, never saw it coming, reacted accordingly in a Federal disaster (though the debate on his reaction can certainly be debated until the history of man runneth not to the contrariety)

Katrina - We've been through this - the Constitution? Federal not over running the state's authority (of course that's the convenient draw in)

I don't recall the Mayor of New Orleans, Governor of LA, or any State Senator from the gulf coast playing politics here (like what happened in Katrina)telling the Federal Gov't to stay out... Like what happened in Katrina.

You're boy put foreign interest in charge without any oversight whatsoever. Except the "oversight" of the Interior Dept. that have already been well versed in Chicago politics, sucking up to the money and passing a blind eye to what they've benn entrusted.

This is 100% on you're guy - not only showing how weak our paper tiger gov't is to international corporate oil, but more importantly, what he is made of.
