... now we get word that the pres is looking for someone's ass to kick concerning the oil spill. well barack, as much as you'd like to dismiss the importance of talking directly with hayward, bp's ceo, public consumption/perception would seem to obligate such a 'verbal' ass kicking - just for starters...
the technological 'kitchen sink' approach should be in effect all over the affected gulf region - most notably, previously employed super tankers to actually effectively 'suck up' a portion of the spilled oil from the gulf. the failure to really deal with the spill - going back to late april/early may - is shamefully scandalous.
