2. You know what really sucks?
When the oil spill first happen FOX/Talk Radio were blaming Obama/Democratic Party for politicizing the oil rig explosion and small oil spill...Then as it clear this spill was much worse than BP said it was to begin with they are now blaming Obama for not stopping the rapid spreading oil slick! Never mind the fact BP was the only one who had OR WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE such technology. Could you imagine what the right would have said had Obama called for the military one day one through 5? They would have exploded in anger!

Now the main stream media is trying to keep pace with the right wing media & starting to report that the government was late to the game...This is simply ABSURD!

YES, the government is very much to blame for just accepting the word of BP & BIG OIL that they had the ability to clean such a spill up when obviously they do not!


QUESTION: I wonder if this oil spill will change the attitude of most Americans that we need to put down the CRACK PIPE of BIG OIL?

If so...Will there be enough change in attitude to begin taxing oil so that we can generate money for ALT FUELS RESEARCH & so that gas prices will be high enough to change driving habits?
