The BP oil spill has largely been treated as the latest plot twist in the Obama epic. The plume of crude rising from the seabed is not only the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, darkening the gulf and thousands of lives and pervading the nation with a sense of helplessness, it is a metaphor for Obama's loss of control, a revealing moment to study our protagonist. Will he feel the seafarer's pain? Will he shake with fury? Will he weep tears into the salty sea?

1. How can someone lose control over something that he had no control over

to begin with then theres the little fact that the oil well blow out and everything that came with it are not anything that man can handle or control, they can only clean up the mess after it destroys everything in its path. The only way anyone could control this is by stopping all oil well drilling and plugging the oil wells, which isn't going to happen.

4. Did any of you ask Obama to "weep tears into the salty sea"?

Not me. That was odd.
