I am even starting to here people on the left complain about the U.S. not helping BP get the oil turned off, and I would agree with them on this one. There will be plenty of time to point fingers later. But now - noooo make that weeks ago we should of been applying the full industrial might of the United States just 30 miles away from the leak to get it stopped. Instead our government announces commissions, and fly in helicopters over marshlands. None of which will get a single drop of oil turned off.

NCD...You make a great point.

.I hope I have the story correct. GM was given the plans to manufacturer the Roll Royce Engine in the P-51, as a 2nd source during and for WWII. Within 24 hours they made casting molds and or forgings and had an engine assembled and running in the test stand.

Where is that can do spirit and resources with a POTUS that doesn't get our greatness or will not tap it.

The "Mole'" sauce at that party the other night should be a metaphor for the oil in the gulf and what is truly important to this very small man (Obama).

This metaphor should be used this fall. They cared more about opulence and their ruling status than the national will which crosses party lines or used to. They care more about an oil colored sauce than the oil in the Gulf and how it will effect us all.

In the words of the movie Space Balls, we have reached ludicrous speed...
