come on pot, you remember kettle….
he gave you the 50-cent tour of the stove back in ‘08 before you moved in. he was also kind enough to transfer his membership in the “mile-high rubber necking club” directly to you. the card is on the way to you now but it’s coming from louisiana so it may take a little while.

Hiya Scarlet. My thinking is that you can’t run a campaign talking about the ‘fierce urgency of now’ with statements about the planet being in peril and how large corporations run the government and it’s time for change and then sit on the sidelines for over a month letting a corporation with definite interests casually test out strategies that may or may not work while meanwhile, our backyard is turning into a wasteland. If this were the previous administration (one that i made quite a few jokes about its competence or lack thereof) people would be all over this. Where is the outrage? We can send a spaceship to mars but we can’t send somebody in (em, the army corps of engineers) to stop this? I’m just sayin’.
To be honest, with things happening locally that have distracted me, I haven’t been paying that much attention to this situation.
I am wondering if the President was thinking that if BP had to clean this mess up by themselves they’d be more careful in the future. He is big on trying to get corporations to be more accountable for their own actions. Obviously, he is showing uncharacteristic naivete.
i’m not going to lie, i’m pretty damn tired of oil spill news coverage. i’m no engineer but i don’t get why they can’t stop it.
Shall I infer from this, 180, that you think President Obama needs to remove BP from the equation and fix the problem with the government?
