AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.
Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!We are witnessing a great tragedy -- the death of a way of life. Dissatisfaction with Pres. Obama's speech is an expressdion of our frustration and anger that this could happen. BP exhibited their neglect and greed by their egregious behavior -- but we are also seeing the results of a corrupt government agency and the lack of regulation and oversight. We will live with this for many years; the years it will take to produce a green revolution, if ever. It certainly won't happen overnight.

You cant blame Obama for the spill, but waiting 50 days to do MORE than we can do to help clean it up is unacceptable. Instead of the finger pointing, lets SOLVE the problems, Recover our coast, families and wildlife.. and get on the road to resolve..CAP THE HOLE! Other nations have offered to help...WHY not LET them..ANYTHING is better than watching this castastrophe go on..
What is wrong with all you people ? Do you not understand that heads of all the oil companies have been holding hands w/ private and federal agencies for decades making deals in order to carry out their business any way they want, for decades ? And most of their obscene practices have gone un-noticed and if a question was raised, it was immediatly squashed. And now it all comes to light. How completely without conscience they`ve opperated. And even more shocking is the belief that you feel Obama should have control over this situation and know everything about it. He`s got a mess on his hands not of his making and if you all are worth anything, you`ll stand by your man, shout encouragement, get off your attitudes and offer help. Quit critisizing and say and do something constructive. We, the American people I`m sorry to say, are a bunch of complaining, do nothing spoiled brats, myself included. We know how to critisize but not how to stand up and back our man. He gathers strength from us SHUT-UP, STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING TO HELP you big old whiners. Shame on ya.

Consequently, why didn't he cite the reference for claiming that 90% of the oil will in short time be contained ? Why no mention of BP's stranglehold of the media and outrageous lies and understatements , yet we're still supposed to trust them ? Obama may not be from the evil far right trying to destroy the middle class, but so far anyway he's no FDR by a longshot, but the new "king" of "patronize".

Obama and his speech writers only know how to use warm and fuzzy words to push legislation to further the far-left agenda. Obama has never led a parade let alone a country of 300 million citizens. Did you think he'd be able to handle a crisis? Are you all living in another time zone?

This will be another bill with a large negative impact on the economy and job growth.

There are no vehicles that run on solar or wind power. Nuclear power plants won't get the goods transported by our massive trucking industry across country. Just think what will happen to the price of food when truckers have to spend Obama's predicted $7 to $9 per gallon on gas.
