Okay, this whole "tough guy" persona the president is taking on the oil spill? Dumb. He's trying to convince us he's swooping in and save the day with his talk about ass kicking and keeping his boot on the throat of BP. Hello? BP has admitted they made a mistake and they have accepted responsibility. They're doing everything they can (presumably) to stop the leak and make it right.
It's not like 9/11, this isn't some shadowy terrorist organization whose leaders are still running around free and must be brought to justice- we know where to find Hayward et al. Well, maybe Obama doesn't know where to find them but the rest of us are pretty sure where they are. *Hint to da One - it's not on the golf course*
I do believe there should be some recompense starting now for those whose livelihoods are gone. But if there's anything we know about the American legal system it's that the lawyers are going to be picking over this carcass for a long, long time. Obama doesn't need to worry that BP will get off lightly; they'll be lucky to still be solvent when all the lawsuits are over.
And while we're on the subject, Mr. President, does your fight for justice include more government handouts for the oil industry workers and those they support who are suddenly jobless due to your moratorium on ALL Gulf drilling?
