President Obama's Oil Spill Comments (PHOTOS)

It's not Obama's failure to "come down hard enough on BP", or his lack of emotion.



It's his failure to respond with ACTION (put BP into temporary receivership, mobilize a work force to lay & properly maintain boom, prevent oil from getting to barrier islands & coastlines, get tankers & skimmers from all corners to siphon up the oil, etc.). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2_T-BkJxA



There's a lot more technology that can be used to manage this disaster that isn't being used, yet BP spends $50 million on a public relations campaign to improve its image & hand out over $10 billion in dividends to its shareholders.



Obama's doing nothing but waiting until the fall (or even later) for BP's solution (a relief well that may not actually repair what may be a blown casing beneath the rock formation) is a luxury we can ill afford.



Obama has the power & the ability to transform not only the region, but the woes of the entire country, by seizing this moment & delivering what he campaigned on: A new economy based on GREEN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT.



Obama's let every opportunity to undo the damage that Bush-Cheney & Republicans have done go by the wayside. Everything from breaking up the banks and Wall St. to real job stimulus.



Democratic politicians dream of moments like those we've experienced these past 18 months, to effect real change, to connect themselves to the People through their inner FDRs, but all that Obama's doing is channeling HerbertHoover.
