Waiting for the news

We should hear this week if the effort for the new "cap" on the oil leak was successful.

I am more than just a little bit disapointed in our efforts as a country to deal with this threat. To me it seemed like the politicians were worried about who to blame instead of fixing the problem. There will be plenty of time to assign blame but from the moment the leak happened, The common goal of protecting the Gulf and the Gulf States should have been the focus. Just like in a time of war, the President is the President. He got elected based on the rules set up by our founding fathers. It wasn't time to campaign. The bottom line is that I am disapointed in America as a whole that we did not pull togeather and stop the leak sooner. I am not pretending like it is a simple fix but if we could send a man to the moon and rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts, we should have been able to get this done. There won't ever ask Tom Hanks to star in a movie about his particular mishap.

Dammit People, Let's start being Americans first and then worry about politics second. Get involved in the political process and then respect the process.

We need to do better!
