Reading every word. Please, can we get to the Q&A portion that allows for other than spoon fed crap? For the first press conference in 320+ days it would be nice to have some answers to legitimate questions.

He needed this crisis for his energy agenda folks.

I hated the 9/11 conspiracy nuts, but I really feel like this is our Reichstag fire.

I was willing to dismiss most of this as a horrible accident, but 0bama’s reaction etc. makes me really wonder.

BP bad.

Government good, government in charge, government save the day, government....blah, blah, blah....

Obama just fired his (Obama’s) appointee to head up Minerals and Management. But of course it’s still Bush’s fault.
