What do you expect - Barack Obama to swim to the bottom of the Gulf to fuse the BP oil leak with his X-Ray vision?Was he supposed to use his super powers to travel forward in time to see any future problems and then return to the present to prevent them from happening?
The lax regulations which permitted BP to drill and operate Deepwater Horizon were already in place when Barack Obama took office.
What was he to do - physically inspect every valve, pump and pipe for their structural integrity within his first two years in office?
Was Obama expected to require that all rigs in the Gulf operate under the more stringent regulations required by many European countries? (Okay, he could have done this, but how could he have known that they weren't?)
Was Obama expected to review the Incident Action Plans of every energy company in America?
Am I mad at Obama's reaction to the situation in the Gulf?
Nope, not at all.
I never thought of Obama as being Superman.
I don't get where they blame BrObama either for all this. Misery loves company and the fact that he seems to be smooth while others suffer seems to bring him a whole bunch of Hate.
ReplyDeleteI check out the Black Blogosphere and we are having a civil war with the pro and anti Obama Blacks going in on whether it's alright to blame him for anything or everything.
Shit happens and this is one of those shit happens moments in history. Everyone knows it's not BrObama's fault but they want blood and he's just not that kind of guy. I don't know what he could do either besides get a firing line and kill everyone from BP.
I will have to second that. It aint his fault. He needs some NO LIMIT music for the people. Gee.
