It seems incomprehensible that the president and other members of the administration still have jobs when it is now being reported that the federal government was apprised by BP on February 13 that the Deepwater Horizon oil rig was leaking oil and natural gas into the ocean floor. In fact, according to documents in the administration's possession, BP was fighting large cracks at the base of the well for roughly ten days in early February. Further it seems the administration was also informed about this development, six weeks before to the rig's fatal explosion when an engineer from the University of California, Berkeley, announced to the world a near miss of an explosion on the rig by stating, "They damn near blew up the rig." It's also now being reported that BP was asking for the administration's help on this matter long before the deadly accident and the now gushing well of tar. --------- Which leads me to some questions for the president. If I were in front row of reporters in the White House briefing room, here’s what I’d like to know: 1. It appears, Mr. President, that you were informed by BP about problems on Deepwater Horizon on February 13 and the company wanted your help. What did you say? 2. Given this new revelation, Mr. President, how can you can sleep at night knowing that your inaction cost the lives of eleven men in Louisiana? 3. Did you inform the victims' families about these facts when you invited them to the White House for last month's photo op? 4. You've said, Mr. President, time and again, that the buck stops with you. Doesn’t that statement seem like something bordering on propaganda when you follow it up with what appears to be a false sense of outrage by telling Matt Lauer that you're looking for rear ends to kick? 5. Does the buck stop with you… or not? 6. Are you going to insist that Mr. Salazar step down from his post in disgrace and shame? 7. Will you hold another prime time television press conference and tell the entire truth to the American people? -- These would be the actions of a man who says that the buck "stops" with him. 8. I know when this news was breaking midday on Saturday about the latest BP developments that you and the Vice President were out on the golf course. Was it 39th or 40th time you've played a round in 18 months? (Just for a point of reference President Bush played golf 24 times in eight years.) Never mind, your priorities are for you to decide. At least until election night... And now here's where I would not be able to stop myself from saying more... It is one thing, Mr. President, to be forced to deal with unexpected circumstances and to have to deal with genuinely new problems. President Bush sure had to. He had to respond to an attack on our homeland that took the lives of 3,000 of our fellow citizens. But on his watch no other terrorist actions took lives of Americans on our soil, largely due to his steadfast leadership and willingness to accept no excuses on the matter. But Mr. President, you seem to have very little leadership experience and it appears you have even less skill. Being a good dad and nice guy who sees the world as he wishes it to be is not exactly a resume of exacting leadership. Your advisers have failed you and you have failed the American people on nearly everything we've asked of you. Where you go from here is really your call, but you should consider two options if you genuinely love the country you work for and those of us you report to. First, change your tactics. Second, appear to care. Attempt to engage and empower Americans who can and will go solve this mess. Otherwise resign. Oh PULEEZE! I thought this was a very good post until the portion I highlighted. Have you forgotten the Aug 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing: Osama Determined to Strike in the US. And I am no Obama fan. Dems and Repubs are two sides of the same coin. |

It is all your fault that I failed my math test. I demand you resign immediately! Seriously, what is the federal government's role? Are they there to be an unpaid consultant to business, or are they there to REGULATE and drop the hammer on violators to protect the public? My hypothesis favors the latter yet I don't pause to labor the point. |
