re: #406 reine.de.tout

I am not a fan of Barack Obama.

But it’s wrong, IMO, to blame him for lack of response, when indications here are that when things get hung up and he is contacted, he unwinds the red tape.

The thing I’m in disagreement with the administration about is this moratorium, which is not necessary. And it appears Salazar changed the report after the experts signed off on it, making it appear they recommended the moratorium when they did not. That is not right.

And right now, I don’t care if the Brits are upset with us. They are out of line. It’s their company that caused this, it’s BP’s British CEO and other officials who have shown absolutely no sympathy or understanding for the families of the 11 people who were VAPORIZED as a result of their bad decisions, and in fact, who are making STUPID comments about Americans who like to blow things up, wanting their lives back, and Louisiana not being the only place you can get shrimp.

Face it, Obama is the president…the buck stops with him. That’s been the case with every president. The more he tries to pass the blame, the more people will look at him as someone who hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. Obama needs to take charge (or at least appear to) of this mess soon or he’s finished.
