And let us not ignore the circus on Hardball where Mathews said that is tired of hearing that PhDs like Energy Secretary Chu etc. are in control and are figuring out how to "tame the tiger." It is time for America to renew their faith in educated folks and experts who know what they doing. The choices are clear: do we want folks like Rhodes Scholar Clinton, Ivy Leaguer Obama or a rancher like Bush and his oilman cohort Cheney and better still an actor and cowboy like Reagan etc.

What’s especially unfortunate here is that all the misinformation connected to overreaction to the spill may have had a serious influence on President Obama and his advisers (Thank you Keith, thank you Rachel, thank you koan, thank you stockman scott...yer best bud, Karl Rove)— leading, for example, to the Gulf drilling ban and an overly strict regulatory approach. This is a tough sell for conservatives, many of whom are looking for evil purposefulness, rather than delusion, in the administration’s policies. But think of it this way. We have the most liberal administration in history, and it is composed of people who lack the reflexive skepticism that conservatives apply to the mainstream media and left-wing blogs. Spend enough time following the reporting and blogging on Deepwater Horizon, and you come to realize that the administration’s behavior in the crisis likely wasn’t based on a cynical master plan; rather, the administration was overwhelmed by sheer panic about the magnitude of the potential disasters, outlined by its most loyal supporters, that it thought it faced. And lets not forget Kos of the DK. I am growing to dislike that guy.......a lot. I hate to say it but the professional left can be nearly as destructive as the extreme right.
