Oil Spill Covers More Than The Ocean

I didn't think I would be writing on the oil spill, but it seems this isn't going away. I see pictures of the spill and recognize feelings of sadness; our shores and the shores of other countries are being effected.  Moreover, I
don't usually get emotional over accidents like this; however, it is sad to see it go on this long and cover this much ocean.  Many jobs relying on the gulf are put on hold until this is cleaned.

I am very much in favor of less government and more personal rights, but this problem is doing damage to our economy and our government needs to step in and clean.  Many hands make light work.

Now on to the nitty gritty.  Do we have ourselves a Water Gate situation with Obama and BP?  BP donated more money to Obama's campaign than any other person or party in over twenty years.  Furthermore, Obama made an exemption for this specific oil rig on its annual safety inspection April 2009.  Moreover, BP conducted safety and standard checks on the rig ten days prior to the event and they are refusing to release any information on the matter.

Where is the press on THIS.  If this was the Bush administration, the press would be contributing this exemption as the trigger to this catastrophe.  The gloves would be off, and the environmentalist would seek an end to his presidency.  Where is all the pent up aggression for this oil spill?  Where are the hostile accusations against the President?  Or is this oil spill the catastrophe Obama has been waiting for?

It is a fact, the Pentagon declared 2.3 trillion USD missing on September 10, 2001.  2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS UNACCOUNTED FOR!  It is evident our country faces a national crisis right before or after we get screwed.  What can we expect this time?
