I'm a fan of Obama's. I want him to succeed and am pleased with much of what he's accomplished in a tremendously complicated world. But his laissez faire approach to the BP spill is getting on my last nerve.
He went to San Francisco and attended a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer last night, playing politics while the Gulf is polluted, businesses are destroyed, the ecosystem is threatened and seafood is contaminated.
Oh, I know he
cares. But then, I also believed that George W. Bush cared about Katrina. Concern doesn't necessarily equal competence.
I want more action. Smart, targeted action. And I want leadership. While Bill Clinton didn't personally take off and find Timothy McVeigh himself, we were reassured daily that he was
on Oklahoma City. I want similar exhibitions of conviction from my President now.
C'mon, Barack!
