Dear Editor,
As an observer of the disastrous Gulf oil spill I would like to say law makers and environmentalists have forced oil companies into deep water drilling which was an unknown technology that they knew nothing about. The water pressure at 5,000 feet is 312,000 pounds per square foot. Then these same law makers attempted to oversee, regulate and license them. The oil companies had to fend for themselves and the oil spill is the result. President Barack Obama and these same politicians are now blaming British Petroleum when they should be taking charge, standing by, supporting and working with BP to stop the leak and clean up the spill.
President Obama and his cronies should have declared a national emergency and brought in the Navy, with their Seabees, to clean up the mess and assist BP. There is no doubt that BP is responsible for the spill but the President and the Congress should have sent billions of dollars to the businesses and residents of the Gulf Coast as they had done in the Haiti and Chile disasters. BP could have been billed at a later date.
June 10, 2010 Admiral Allen announced he will meet with BP officials June 16, 2010 (56 days after the spill) and President Obama will participate in part of the meeting.
When is President Barack Hussein Obama going to realize he is the Commander in Chief and in charge?
