"Time is of the essence in resolving these issues."Obama always seems to do what he is critizised for shortly after he hears the wrath of voters. (MOSTLY) Perhaps if we call for his resignation he'll see fit to follow?? We should be so lucky!!!

I find it interesting that his administration (a.k.a. - him) is just now requesting a meeting with BP executives. Just plain, old common sense (no ivy-league education needed) tells you a meeting would be one of the first things to do. It gives the "impression" that the administration wants this disaster to go on and on - why would that be?
June 11 2010 at 5:01 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAs a captain and inventor of marine fuel spill prevention devices, I have but one question. Why would Our Government wait for B.P. to deploy boats, ships and booms as an emergency response, rather than take the bull by the horns and deal with the cleanup before it got out of control.B.P. could be billed afterwards, when all is said and done as far as collection is concerned. Our Own President is busy vacationing, and enjoying parties and concerts at the White House. What did He accomplish visiting Lousiana? He fondled some tar like balls of oil, and ran up the cost of operating the Presidential air-liner, and the supporting escort jets, and the media air liner that accompany A.F.One. I read that He is very upset with B.P. Personally I think He is passing all the blame onto B.P. now that The mess is turning into a disaster. With the Coast Guard and Navy at His disposal, He failed to act as Commander and Chief When it was most needed. Well, the Pres. had His chance to Be a true Hero and dropped the ball. No, He was'nt asleep at the wheel,He was just busy! Timing is everything? All the travel and entertainment can not only wear on You, it can cause a missed opportunity of Greatness for any current President! Interestingly enouph, our President is more concerned with entertaining and partying with celebrities than saving the Gulf from disaster. Maybe He'll take notice when oil makes shore in HI! One more question, if You will. Since when does Our Government sit back and watch Our natural resources, ( The Gulf being among the most important of our valuable natural resources)be destroyed. Is anyone else

June 10 2010 at 10:32 PM Report abuse Permalink +6 rate up rate down ReplyIts been almost 2 months and the chain of commmand and plan of attack that B.P has emerged with is just plain uneffective and poorly executed.Time too bring the best minds and all powers that be in the oil field too get somekind of prevetative action in place.Here we have a fiasco off our coast brought on by a man made f'up that no amount of money can fix.
