Obama Isn't God & Can't Fix Everything

What is it about educated adults that makes them whine like spoiled brats when they don't get their way? This whole BP mess has suddenly become Obama's fault, and normally intelligent Dems from the Gulf States are screaming for him to do something. But what, really, can he do? First, it wasn't his fault but BP's greed and arrogance. Second, it's their duty to fix this---which they may not be able to, and we may just be looking at a dead Gulf. Third, our government doesn't have the equipment nor expertise to handle this mess.
And now even Republicans have joined the baying hounds biting at his heels. Honestly!
This is not Katrina, for which Bush must take some responsibility for having botched. Bush could not have caused the storm, but he became liable when he could have sent FEMA in to help and simply let it continue. This situation is quite different. Let's put the blame where it lies, on BP, and stop demanding our president wave a magic wand. Yes, I know that all too many of us had/have unreasonably high expectations for Obama, but God he is not. And while Democrats scream, Republicans are trying to relieve BP of most liabilities. Of course, the GOP is more concerned about saving Big Oil and stirring up popular opinion against Obama. They only want to oust him come 2012, and they will do anything it takes.
Are we going to throw a tantrum (again) and put back the same jokers who gave us the current financial crisis?

Oil Gusher In Gulf May Poison Us All

Yes, I realize how melodramatic that sounds, but it's unfortunately true. British Petroleum and the Environmental Protection Agency (that's an oxymoron) lied about the extent of the spill. It's not just a spill, it's a hole in the ocean floor where extremely high-pressured oil exploded the rig and continues to pump thousands of gallons into the Gulf.
New estimates are predicting global catastrophe if the hole isn't closed somehow. The volume of oil spewing up out of that hole could most likely---not just possibly---kill much of the life in all the oceans (remember, they're all connected to one another), and make the water so polluted as to kill terrestrials (that's us, and life on land).
We could very well be witnessing the end of the world in perhaps months, not years. And all because BP decided not to follow safety guidelines. Profits come first, you know. The stupidity and cupidity of the corporate world boggles the mind. Scientists say it might take a nuke, planted at just the right spot, to stop it. Barring that, only God could do it. And we all know how often he answers prayers!
