Big ole flashing light op ed , page one NYT :" In the last few days there’s been a mix of messages from government officials about whether the Obama administration has the authority to take control of the unrelenting seabed oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico.
But there’s no doubt, at least in the language of relevant federal law; President Obama not only has the authority, but the obligation — however politically risky that might be — to take ownership of efforts to stanch the flow.... ( the rest ) HUH ? Seriously folks, I am guessing that British Petroleum knows more about oil wells than Barack Obama. What exactly do people want him to do ?? I just don't get it. I mean, sure it would be great if we would just send out oo7 undersea robots down to take care of it, but then everyone would know we have them.....
As much as it sucks, BP is all we have to deal with this environmental disaster.
