<<President Obama needs to hear and see the people waving cameras and respirators. Until the media is allowed unrestricted access to the Gulf and impacted beaches, BP - not the President of United States - will remain in charge of the Gulf response.>> absolutely so.
Also, that no fly zone--Obama could have EASILY prevented the creation of a No Fly Zone----but he didn't---- he thus far has ONLY been a BP flunky--- behind closed doors he should tell British Government to go to hell, and say we are going to NAIL BP to the wall--we are going expose them for criminal negligence causing the blow-out, and expose their shameless lies since, such as saying 5k barrels a day were outflowing, when they KNEW it was far far far far worse than that---they were blatantly LYING.
But Obama remained calm and let's all be friends President---let's not cast stones.
He is now ATTEMPTING to generate toughness---i say, trying, as i think he TRYING to act his way out of his very nature of "Don't Get Even let's just shake hands and not look back"---as he did with Wall Street criminals.
As he did alsom but even worse, when he rather than attack Bush Foreign Policy, instead EMBRACED it.
i re-iterate where i am coming from--i quote myself from old post:
"i DESPISED BUSH beyond Defining. Obama??He is just a two-bit politician as comfy as he can be in this American Plutocracy that pretends to be democracy.
i damn the entire system, this one party disguised cleverly as a two party system."
i feel any action we get from Obama will NOT be his actual nature, but will ONLY be because of intense heat coming up from the public---so that heat MUST keep building.
i believe in Obama's own mind, he would RATHER placate Britain, and lay off BP---i think his indication he might actually be getting tough, and actually thinking ,Justice---is coming from fear of the polls in November.
Frank Rich himself, dedicated Democrat, said in his "Don't Get Mad, GET EVEN!" column and other columns, has said if he does NOT reverse the way he has been handling this, the democrats will have a stunning defeat in November.
We have a President that two weeks before this disaster was banging the drom LOUDLY for expanding off-shore drilling just off the shores of U.S. coasts.
We have a President that about 2 weeks after disaster was gave a speech of "Don't Play The Blame Game", and a President that made NO action to intrude on BP running the show--a president that believed outflow was only 5k barrels a day because i suspect he can be a real gullible dork.
He is beginning to learn how far a SWMOOTH DEMEANOR and using charm, and moving like a model in a fashion show--can get you-- but when Obamaites realize--o he is SMOOTH alright, but SHALLOW MAN as Rich indicates out he grovels to the views the "brightest and best"(a concept that is RUBBISH!-- i again recommend HIGHLY the brilliant Achievetron article from Harpers that rips to threads the "Brightest and Best" MYTH!)
Few ead it it, but i post link again--- but i do know one person that read that article, without question, and that was Frank Rich, and it obviously has greatly influenced his re-appraisal of Obama----this article had IMPACT, and i should NOTE Harper's, are the longest existing Progressive Magazine---now continously in publication for 157 years!---was the FIRST Progressive Magazine to DENOUNCE Obama, and call him BETRAYER-- that i think was in January 2009.

o yes this from CNN today
"This administration did not send Cabinet-level officials to the region until 10 days after the explosion occurred," Pence said. "It would be two weeks after the explosion occurred that we began to hear from members of Congress from the region that you literally had fishermen standing on docks, you had parish presidents who were waiting for BP to give them permission to go out and deploy boom to protect their wetlands and their coastline."
