.More and more right wingers are attempting to blame the president for the oil leak (including a few misguided liberals). It's interesting that small-government conservatives are now whining about why President Obama (the government) is not doing more to help them. Since President Obama is all powerful - as conservatives now make him out to be - perhaps he could convert himself into Aquaman and swim into the Gulf of Mexico. Perhaps, like Aquaman, he could communicate with sea animals to enlist their help and warn them of the danger in the area of the oil spill.
Seriously, people, this is not a fault thing. If anyone can stop this oil leak it would have been done by now. BP wants to stop this as bad as anyone, and has been ineffective.
If BP can't stop it then I doubt President Obama or anyone else is going to be able to stop it.
This is an accident that has gotten out of control. Obviously, if we had Aquaman, it would be better for us. Unfortunately, however, Aquaman is a fictional character (cool as he seems to a lot of us) who can't help in this instance.
My humor is not directed at those who suffer due to BP's oil spill. Rather, this humor is directed at the morons who act as though there is a simple solution and President Obama just has not done it.
There is no simple solution to the latest issue right wingers are calling "Obama's Katrina." And, sadly enough, this disastrous leak could go on longer than any of us want to imagine.

I have been concerned about what will happen to all of this oil once the 2010 hurricane season arrives in the Gulf of Mexico. Of course the seas will get whipped up into a frenzy, and should one of the hurricanes pass over where the oil is collecting I felt that surely some of it would be sucked up into the developing storm.
My first place to visit for information on this was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration web site, which told me categorically there would be no oil in rain related to a hurricane. I was dissatisfied (dare I say distrustful?) of that seemingly blasé comment, so went searching further for information.

OMG I hadn't thought of that yet, oil in the rain. Isn't it too heavy to get in there? But surely some parts of it will get into the rain. That will take it all over the world. Lord!
This is a mess all the way around. No telling how much worse it could get if a hurricane hits.
