Musicians Send Letter to Obama Urging Action on Restoring Gulf

Not sure that will work. Obama failed to see the spill as a national crisis that demanded a national response. He was content to put his "boot on the neck" of BP and nothing else until American outrage at his lack of interest demanded some action. He saw the spill as another situation that could be politically exploited to advance the green agenda. The devastation of the gulf coast and it's economy was not as important to Obama and his administration as demonizing oil and pushing windmills.

Maybe if more groups united and sent letters to Obama with thousands of signatures he just might listen that foreign aid money needs to be allocated to areas such as the gulf here in this country first instead of sending billions overseas. Someone needs to get through to Obama that it is America first, foreign second.

Of course you would have to sign that or not work, and of course few on the list have read this or even have a clue. I live in the Gulf and most of the economic damage I have seen was caused by the American news industry who kept exaggerating the results of the oil spill and driving away tourism and fishing sources. The fishing fleet is out and catching shrinp and is not impacted by the oil spill. As for Obama, swell idea for envirnomentalists to send him a letter, he granted more offshore drilling permits than the last five Presidents combined (and yet Bush was the oil guy??). Also these are people who do not rely on a gallon of gas to get to work everyday. More rich people telling poor people how to live. I thought that is what Republicans are supposed to do.

Here's an idea...why don't these entertainers that signed this letter (plus a few dozen more) go to each state along the gulf...Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and have a big Woodstock. Start in Galveston and work their way down the coast, playing once a month. Free concert that last for 3 days. That would boost the economy of each state and maybe make people realize the gulf isn't infected with some weird oil disease or cursed with Hurricanes. It's going to take the people, not the government, to kick-start these coastal cities again.

You people are destroying America. Who signed the letter is simply used to put attention on the situation...you read the article. A region of the USA has been dealt 2 major economic blows. Yet you want to treat it like a foreign country. Your rage against Democrats and government spending must come with some common sense.

Great letter and hope and pray that it moves this president. Good Luck and will as always keep all of these people in my thoughts and prayers.

I did not see that loser Bono on the list. U-would think he would be the first listed . . . . . ..

Well, if there's any group that knows about this topic, this is it...what a joke. And while we're at it maybe Cheryl Crowe will tell us to use one sheet of toilet paper per day, and maybe Johnny Cougar will tell us that he doesn't have enough info to determine if WWII was necessary. Why don't these people stick to what they do best

How can america get out of debt if we keep spending billions of dollars. The tax payers have supported the gulf coast for years. Its time they do something for themself. America is in enough debt.

maybe we can get these people to look for that 6'5" guy that lives in the caves
