Little Birdies Covered with Oil.

Getting Involved = Accountability for Failure.

Where are you, Mr. President? And why do you seem to only care a little?

Why do we entrust our Gulf of Mexico's life to the foreign British Petroleum, who is attempting to plug a leak at 5,000 pounds per square inch pressure, a mile down?

BP only has experience with 200 psi.  The methods that work at 200 psi are not nearly as effective at 5000 psi.  In particular, the methane gas down there causes tools to freeze and be ineffective.

If this were happening in the Persian Gulf, in Asia, or somewhere in the Mediterranean, you had best believe Obama would have the Navy and whomever else there. 

There have been no convening of experts, of physicists and engineers, to work on a solution at that kind of water pressure.  None.  And British Petroleum is flying by the seats of their pants.  They literally are just guessing. 

And so now 1/3 of the Gulf is a dead zone.  Dead as in no life.  Thank you, Mr. President, for your quick and swift response.

His reaction to questions about him not seeming engaged is almost to be offended.  He claims he could not be more engaged.  He also claims that no one will judge this based on his anger or his perceived anger, but on how well they have solved it.  But, as a President, as MY President, SEEING you upset and present down there helps me and the nation.  It's psychological.  It's the hope you promised.  And the other thing about it: YOU HAVE NOT SOLVED IT!  You have been wishy-washy and soft, and staying out of it for political reasons.  So, we are judging you on the merits you asked for, and thus far, you get an F-.

My overall point is this:  by not actively taking the leak on in an overt, public way (which means getting the Army Corps of Engineers, Navy, and Coast Guard all involved), the Obama administration and Democrats in the House and Congress ARE ABLE TO BLAME BP FOR THE DEVASTATION.  This is a political move FIRST.  It's an absolute shame.  And I AM A DEMOCRAT. 

For Obama, the equation for the Gulf Oil Spill is simple:

Getting Involved = Accountability for Failure

Obama is staying away for that reason.

Here's one more photo, because I am feeling saucy.  And because I think once apathetic Americans see little birdies covered in oil, they might actually be outraged!  Demand action from those in charge of this country!
