Will Obama learn anything from the oil spill armageddon?

[quinnox]

He hasn't exactly been "Mr. Environment" so far in his presidency. Will he keep whistling past the pollution and catastrophes and say "Keep doing business as usual!"

Obama has been a terrible disappointment in this area, I don't think there is much disagreement about that. How can such a bright guy be so wrong about this issue, and be so ineffective.

Obama has been looking like a weak president for months now, and usually seems to be hiding rather than hold press conferences and show his face.

May he fire some bad advisors, or whomever is helping him in policy matters, and get a back bone soon, or he may turn out to be the weakest and most ineffectual president since Jimmy Carter.

It is so disappointing to see when Obama had such high hopes upon entering office, it is getting late and the turnaround and bold vision and leadership better happen very soon.

1. Your concern is touching. Now why don't you start paying

attention? He's been all over the place talking about the spill almost daily.

4. very funny

Whatever, I'm sick and tired of blind Obama supporters/defenders pretending he has handled this whole mess perfectly.

5. Uh huh.

I'm sick of all the monday morning quarterbacks and ankle biters pretending he could have done anything differently.

3. Sadly I doubt he learns the most important lesson

Stop trusting the corporations to always be right, and recognize that their interests (profit) almost always run counter to the best interests of the people.
