Do you remember when putting a federal marshal on every flight was out of the question, far too expensive?

Why Obama Should Put BP Under Temporary Receivership
I think this is the biggest misconception about Obama, that he's just been an innocent dupe (of corporations, of Rahm Emanuel, of Tim Geithner, et al).
David Plouffe and David Axelrod have done a masterful job of keep Obama separate from his decisions, so that everybody else gets tarred, except Obama.
If you go back and listen to Candidate Obama's speeches, interviews and debates (with your now 'experienced'-ears) you'll see how Obama used ambiguous words which led his supporters to believe what they wanted to about him. It's why even today his most ardent supporters are split on whether he's a liberal or a centrist (he's neither), and why they are breaking their backs trying to find a rationale for his anti-populist (against THEM, the People who put him into power) ways.
I'm an old liberal Democrat, never voted Republican, and say he's a fraud only after great study and certitude.

Why Obama Should Put BP Under Temporary Receivership
During the campaign, Obama told people that they had to stay involved after the election, that they couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect that he would do what they had hoped. He said that there were powerful interests working against what the people wanted, and if We The People wanted Obama to do our bidding, we would have to MAKE HIM DO IT.
Obama's most ardent supporters forget that those of us who criticize Obama are only doing what he warned us needed to be done. NOT to trust him.
Since the election (and even before, with his FISA vote), Obama has been deceptive, breaking every campaign pledge and promise, conceding the positions of the left (getting nothing in return), and hobbling real Democrats at every turn while catering to Republicans and Blue Dogs.
The fact is that those in charge of the greatest environmental crime in human history are NOT working at maximum capacity.
Obamabots are the most immediate problem, as they help him screw them (and us) over. Until Obamabots wake up to these facts, they are their own worst e n e m ies, and the reason we don't get what we all thought we were voting for when we voted Obama and Democrats into office as the majority power in our government.

Why Obama Should Put BP Under Temporary Receivership
Obama is meeting with his new "commission" chairs (Bob Graham and William Reilly) tomorrow, to discuss new regulations to place on offshore drilling.
What went wrong wasn't a lack of regulations (although there sure are few enough of those); what went wrong was an industry that knew it didn't have to adhere to regulations.
Will we hear more "Look forward, not back" rhetoric?
Until Obama investigates and prosecutes the Bush administration (and that's not going to happen now because he's as guilty as & complicit with Bush on every front), we might as well toss all regulations out because we have an executive branch and a Congress that refuses to enforce them.
