I just read Arianna Huffington’s Sunday Roundup. It’s always interesting what this woman has to say. She let’s me know things that I might otherwise have missed. Like Obama is having a concert for Sir Paul McCartney next week. Hmmm… The “Top Kill” solution of putting a ton of concrete on top of the leak is a huge failure. The oil is now leaking into the marshes. The Florida Keys are the 3rd largest coral reef on the planet and is now a dead zone. There are many who have good solutions to try, but they are being ignored, while the leak still continues. I guess since Obama said the whole BP Oil Disaster is now being handled by the Federal Government, it is time to celebrate? Hey man, what’s up with that?
I voted for Obama. Not because I thought he was the answer to all the problems of this country. No, I have been over that kind of thinking for many years.
He just seemed the more intelligent pick, compared to Palin and McCain, and he spoke the words that we all needed to hear after two terms with a president that was not really elected and was such a big disappointment. Heck I didn’t even think of him as black – I just thought he was the change that was needed. Now, I no longer care who is “in charge”. Because frankly, there isn’t anyone. I really don’t know what else to say, except, Obama, you are a disappointment, or as Arianna Huffington puts it, “This is not the time for a White House sing-along. It’s time to set up a temporary White House in New Orleans until the well is capped. And if there is a concert to be held, why not make it a fundraiser for all those whose lives are being destroyed by the oilpocalypse? We need less of the president’s anger-with-no-follow-through and more “hands-on” leadership. Without it, Obama risks turning into a real Nowhere Man.”
Ok, I am now going into the garden to find peace and happiness, and continue to spread that to everyone I meet, because while I won’t ignore what is going on, I cannot dwell on it. It is simply heartbreaking.
