I like Gloria Borger, but she does not address the clean up. I watched senator Nelson of Florida yesterday and he summed it up perfectly.

He said very clearly: "I am not talking about the hole spewing oil, I am talking about the clean up. This is a disaster and we must keep the oil off the land as much as possible. This is an all hands on deck crises".

I agree, and it has not been an all hands on deck response yet.

I do not want Obama to show rage or fix the hole. Just hire about 10 times as many skimmers and booms to get the oil out of the water before it kills those 7,000 year old coral reefs and gets into the mangrove and grass swamps and kills everything in its path.

My comment: We cannot project ourselves as U.S.A. (United States of Assholes. We need to stand back, trust our President and wait to see how he acts. And he has given us sufficient reasons to trust him. No "rushing into Iraq out of sheer rage.

Hear! Hear!
