It is disgusting to see the way in which the Obama administration is behaving during the current crisis as regards the oil spill in the Gulf. Recently, Obama stated that he was looking for "whose ass to kick." In the middle of this massive crisis, when BP has been doing everything it can to fix the problem, this esteemed president has also gone on record to say that if he were Tony Hayward's boss, he would fire him. Such stupid comments, coming from the man who is the president of the most powerful nation in the world are disgusting indeed. Coming from the man who has preached tolerance and put on a front of bringing people together, such comments are hypocritical. Coming from the man I voted for, such comments make me sad.
I am also disgusted by the sensationalism espoused by the lopsided media. They are pillorying BP day in an day out, constantly talking about how BP has not done a good job on safety. Even Anderson Cooper, someone who I have respected all along as a fair and educated reporter is coming across as just another one of those good old boys sitting in ivory towers pontificating on matters they know very little about.
To Mr. Obama, I have the following questions: You seem hell-bent on driving BP to the ground. When you succeed in doing so Mr. President, who is going to take care of the cleanup effort and bearing all the cost and compensating all the people. You seem to be doing everything you can to make BP declare bankruptcy. If that is what you want, be careful what you wish for. If BP declares bankruptcy, are you going to raise our taxes again to pay for the cleanup.
Mr. Obama, you are losing my confidence and support. More importantly, Mr. President, you are in danger of losing my vote.
