I assure you, if Americans boycotted every BP station, in fact EVERY DAMNED BRITISH PRODUCT OR SERVICE it would get their attention.

And you know this - how? --------------- Look up how many vacations Barry has been on since the explosion. |

IF he, or any president, avoided vacations whenever any crisis occurred, most of them would never leave the White House. You take a tiny slice of his tenure and make believe that's the norm? God almighty, look at what Bush did - he bicycled and brush-cleared hsi way through the Presidency... |

Of course it would be altogether different if we had a Republican prez right now. If it wisent for the lefts double standard, they would have no standards. |

An honest look will reveal a pretty lopsided political constituency. BTW, what business did Bushie start in 1978, again? What party now tries to point the finger at a Liberal because he was caught off-guard? Oh, caught off guard. Nice spin. Was Bush also caught off-gaurd during Katrina? No, he wasn't. That storm had several days of fair warning from NOAA scientists - but then, science was not his "thing" was it? Anyway - you also won't see me thrusting all the blame at Bush for what happened with Katrina - the first response in that case should have been from the State and the City, neither of whom had the foggiest idea what they were doing when the ocean rose 30 feet. What happened afterward should have gradually morphed into a federal emergency program (which it did, poorly). What party is now crying because their constituents' livelihoods are being crushed by the very industry they have long supported? Give ya a hint - they're all the same answer.

Funny, Obama supports off-shore drilling. Actually, it's not funny, and that is one part of his "drilling" platform that needs to end. Bruce |

Bush certainly had his share of disasters on -his- watch: 9/11, Katrina, two wars and the start of the current Great Depression and that didn't keep him from being away from the White House more than ANY other president in history. So what's yer point? |
