Obama's Poor Handling of the Oil Spill

It has been 6 weeks now since the explosion at the Deep Water Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and nothing has been done. There has been many failed attempts to "plug the damn hole" and millions of gallons of oil have now leaked out into the Gulf. Governor Jindal of Louisiana is begging for help only to have to sit back and wait for federal approval on his attempts to save his State. This is simply becoming a distraction for Obama and his agenda and after weeks of being scrutinized by even his own party for doing too little about the situation, the White House is finally doing "something".

But what?! A criminal investigation?

A catastrophe is unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, Governor Jindal and the State of Louisiana are crying out for help, the spill is massively spreading, hurricane season is here, and all you want to do is investigate. Forget trying to plug the hole, cleanup the mess, and do what needs to be done immediately and lets sit behind our desks and look for someone to punish. I guess the White House figures that pointing the finger just isn't enough anymore.

Who are their top suspects, anyway? Let me guess -- George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and BP executives. Based on the handling of the situation by this administration, I would say the only criminals behind this are the ones doing the investigation. Looking to lay blame while watching the disaster continue to unfold.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised at the actions of this administration. Much like our economy and other issues here in America, Obama likes to focus on blaming people instead of creating solutions. Meanwhile, unemployment continues to rise, illegal immigration continues to rise, and the White House sues states and opens criminal investigations.

So far in the 6 weeks of this oil spill, Obama has blamed Bush, blamed BP, banned off-shore drilling, opened a National Commission, and now a criminal investigation. Nothing to go tackle the issue, just investigate it and blame people for it. This is by far the worse, most incompetent administration in our nation's history. Let us pray that no one attacks America between now and January 20, 2013, otherwise the only retaliation would be an apology to the attackers and a criminal investigation to find out which one of us "right-wing-extremists" provoked the attack.
