I think most of America would agree with you on this. I myself am going a little stir crazy over the lack of response in the Gulf, and turning psycho because everyone keeps claming that things actually are being done.
But yeah, the press was SO EXCITED IT COULD PEE when Obama said at that press conference last week that the oil spill problem was "his responsibility." They were all over that quote like flies on cake, broadcasting it over and over on their respective stations as though that statement alone will relieve any of us. I wish he'd never said it. Instead, I wish he'd had a BP exec on stage, bound and gagged, threatening him with an angry mob of ACTUAL AMERICANS who all know who's REALLY to blame.
I don't need to use the president as a scapegoat for the world's problems. What I need is for someone to GET OFF THEIR BUTT and DO SOMETHING about this stuff!

We can riot together, anytime.
