I think this is something we can all agree on! ;)

You mean "Obama" didn't want to touch this. When originally faced with the issue, he froze. And stayed frozen for a good long while. When he finally unfroze, he scurried directly in front of the cameras, and pointed his finger at BP while declaring, "I'M IN CHARGE!" I was never a fan of G.W. Bush, but just imagine the bloodthirsty screaming that would have been aimed at him if he'd been president when this happened. Remember Katrina? This would have been /way/ worse. But Obama? Well, he gets a gentle pass. -- Tegger

Well, he gets a gentle pass. Exactly what I was going to say when Bob Cooper comes back at my last response to his post. And, as far as Dutch skimmers making a difference in the early days? Well, we'll never know, will we? Yup. If Bush had dragged his heels over this the way Obungler has, it'd be all we'd be hearing about.
