” From the start, I promised you two things,” Mr. Obama said. “One is that we would see to it that the leak was stopped. And it has been. The second promise I made was that we would stick with our efforts, and stay on BP, until the damage to the gulf and to the lives of the people in this region was reversed. And this, too, is a promise that we will keep.”

Yep, BP – not Obama or anyone paid by him – plugged the leak that was costing them millions of dollars and has agreed to fund repairs.
So what did Obama do exactly except golf and ask his staff if he could use this disaster for his agenda somehow?
Well if you blame Bush for the mistakes he made during his administration then you have to commend Obama for his successes… the buck should stop at the presidents office door. Don’t you think?
Again, what successes? What did Obama do to impact the BP situation at all either negatively or positively?
I have no problems with blaming people for their own mistakes or commending them for their successes but there should be respectively a mistake or a success to render judgment upon.
