People want the President to exert leadership to turn things around.

The oil leak. Unemployment. Credit card scams. Foreclosures. Predatory corporations. Environmental destruction. Global warming. Roads and bridges crumbling. Incomes stagnant. Schools getting worse. Companies moving overseas. Problem after problem.

People want to know, “Why doesn’t the government push BP aside and take over?” The answer is, “Government doesn’t have the resources to stop it.”

* Like most of you, I can’t stop thinking about the sea life in the Gulf of Mexico. It is just a matter of time before massive amounts of fish and mammals begin washing up on the oily shore. What happens if they can’t plug this oil hole for another week, or month, or several months? Why isn’t the government suspending its global military operations and putting every researcher, every government scientist, and the rest of their brain power to work on this case?

May 27, 2010 — The U.S. coastguard claims engineers have managed to use mud to stop the flow of oil from the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first step in BP’s plan to seal the breach for good with cement. Live webcams still showed material jetting out from the well head – but BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said he believed mud, not oil, was now coming out of the ruptured pipe. Meanwhile the new study by U.S. Geological Survey revealed new results. Two teams using different methods determined the well is leaking at least 1.9 million liters a day. One team said it might be leaking as much as 3 million liters and another said that number might be closer to 3.8 million liters.
