The President should be worried about corralling in the truth so people minimize the severity of the situation? Just report the truth and people can just for themselves the severity. Yea, Mr. McConnell has his priorities in order. Kind of like how setting your house on fire is a great marketing tool for a fire extinguisher. WTF? You want the President to clean up the problem, but not in a way that changes how business is currently conducted or prevent this in the future? The cake is a lie. Sauce? I wonder if the man from Texas has an oil derrick in this fight? Wow, talk about partisan agendas there... lots of rhetoric and political posturing, and complaining -- yet offering no solutions other than "stay the course" or "don't change". Is "Don't Change" an acceptable solution at this point? This isn't like "Ohh, I spilled milk on the floor, I'll just clean it up and 'honest injun' I'll be more careful next time"... this is a pretty big deal that'll cost US a pretty penny. How much? I dunno -- someone find the numbers cap-and-trade costs vs. cleaning this mess up and compensating the lost tourism, fishing, and other affected industries by this ecological disaster.
