Given the mentality of the general public and their current attitude toward conflict resolution and crisis management, I'd say an adequate response would be to have the undersea oil flow plugged and mess cleaned up in about 2-3 hours. That's about how long it takes to resolve a crisis in their favorite TV action-adventure or natural disaster movie. Everyone wants - no, demands fast food, instant uploads, immediate results, and no inconvenience. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate when accidents happen - and regardless of what anyone says, this was an accident. Also, contrary to popular opinion the govt. doesn't have solutions to all our problems."Brownie" seems a little, uhm, lame and tiresome to me also, but I'm more interested in what someone might think an adequate governmental response would be to the oil spill.
Comparatively the number must be quite small, considering he's only been office less than two years. But hey, wasn't he the one that promised all this CHANGE instead of...Also, just to toss it out there, I wonder how many illegal aliens have invaded Arizona since Obama took office, versus the number who invaded prior to his being elected...
... doing the exact same thing with regard to illegal immigration in Arizona as the last eight presidents have done?
Of course now everybody - especially the politicians - wants somebody to blame. It's absolutely laughable that RFK Jr still tries to blame Bush/Cheney for this mess in that pitiful Huffington Post article. Obviously, he's oblivious to the fact that Obama's Interior Dept thought so highly of BP that they were a finalist for the 2010 safety awards for offshore drilling. According to the Dept of Interior “only the top candidates who show outstanding performance in each of their respective OCS districts will be considered a finalist for the National SAFE Award.” BP was also a finalist in 2009. Note to RFK Jr - call your office for an update; Bush isn't president any more.
