Oil spill Educational for everyone
As a fan of all talk radio I often listen to Michael Medved. His resent article published at (Town Hall.com as well as Michael Medved.com) The main thesis of the Article discuses how the oil spill is worse then Katrina was for President Bush. That in itself is inaccurate, conservatives make a mistake when they equate a hurricane that affected the lives of thousands to an oil spill that apart from the people originally killed in the explosion affects people mainly in there pocketbooks.
However it does point out 2 basic truths, the media is hopelessly biased can anybody imagine how the media would have reacted if this spill had taken place during the Bush administration. It would not have taken three weeks for the media to notice. The more important lesson for the country to learn is that the government can't solve every problem. As Medved's article illustrates the so-called best and brightest in the government and Bp for more then a month had no idea how to stop the spill . The so-called top-kill method did not work and other methods that may have also hurt the environment The president looks detached but more then the he is flummoxed because he and more importantly the federal government has no idea how to fix it.
We have no greater proof then what was said by the White House We have been with BP since the beginning. That proves the point that conservatives have known for years, governments don't solve problems they get out of the way so others can. Now to fair the private sector could not solve it with well either, however when government gets involved it moves like the proverbial glacier. Like Gov Jendal said if the federal government does not have a plan get out of the way and let us implement our own. The problem with liberalism is it believes that the federal government is there to solve every problem or big Crisis, the aftermath of the oil spill is further proof that that belief is wrong. The problem for the President is now everybody know that Government doesn't solve problems in some cases they may prolong them.

I am not sure how the government is holding back anyone from fixing this problem. Has there actually been someone to come forward and say they could fix it and the Obama administration turn them down? Also, what you said about the foreign aid (on the phone to me) was not true. The Obama administration has accepted offers for international help: " In late May, the administration accepted Mexico's offer of two skimmers and 13,779 feet of boom; a Dutch offer of three sets of Koseq sweeping arms, which attach to the sides of ships and gather oil; and eight skimming systems offered by Norway" Washington Post
