Same Treatment

It's interesting to see that the American people always seem to do the same thing in a time of crisis. Point fingers at whoever is in charge.

This time, it's not President Bush who takes the heat, but President Obama. I'm referring to the Gulf oil spill. It's been going on for over a month now, and like I said before, the most we've done is put a cement block around it. President Obama claims he is open to suggestions and ideas, but he hasn't acted on any. Many agree that the United States has lost its opportunity to be the hero and save the day, but we still ought to try our best to clean up this huge mess. Literally.

This oil spill is affecting ecosystems, coastlines, fishing industries, oil prices, etc. You would think that being as advanced technologically as the world is - especially the United States - that we would have some kind of emergency back up plan to deal with potential disasters such as this. And yet. Here we are.

So, President Obama, I'm not sure I feel any sympathy for you for all the pointed fingers. President Bush had to deal with that for 8 years. Now it's your turn. Good luck with that, sir.
