I can no longer stand idly by and watch what is going on around me. I'm 21 years old and I'm going to have a heart attack if I don't at least say something. I wish I could have personal meetings with Obama, and with congress. So that I could tell them personally, probably to no avail, that they should be ashamed of themselves. But since I can't do that I will do what I can, in hopes that someone, somewhere, will hear my voice. So that I know that I am not alone. When together can restore the America that Washington could still be proud of. I assure you that if we all remain separate; If we do not voice what we know to be right. We will fall! Because most assuredly that is the direction we are headed.
What in the world is going on in congress? The "hearings" with BP. Those are not hearings. Is it Thursday???? What are you doing having hearings before the investigation is complete? Congress is acting like a bunch of children. Congress is so surprised when the CEO, Tony Hayward has no answers. Yet, they are tying up the man that they think has all of the power. When he should be doing what is really important. Stopping the devastation, putting all of his effort into stopping the leak. Not sitting in a room with a bunch of politicians who are acting like this is a playgroung. Wait for your little playground face-off until after the problem is solved. Not right smack dab in the middle of it. You aren't investigating anything. You're just playing a political, media game! Shame on Tony Hayward for not standing up and saying let me do my job. Let me do what Americans are legitimately concerned about. Then we can talk.
What is Obama doing? He and his political agenda have got to be stopped! Who does he think he is trying to force BP into compensating the American people for damages, reasonably so, BUT outside of the law? There is absolutely no way that strong arming a private company into compensation fits anywhere within the statutes of U.S. law. If the President of the United States cannot obey the law. Who should be expected to! Obama this is not your playground! These are peoples lives! Where in the world does he get off putting a hold on all offshore drilling, contrary to the advise of scientists? Then he tells BP that they need to compensate those people that he has put out of work. When you were the one who did it Obama? Always blaming everyone else for his problems. That should come out of his own pocket. Then you create a comittee that has no experience with oil, to investigate offshore drilling. What is the deal! On top of all that. While this is going on he is trying to pass cap and trade. Which will cause the price of energy to "necessarily skyrocket". Meanwhile he is starting offshore drilling in Brazil, loaning 2 billion dollars. Taking away all of the jobs that we have here on our own shores. How in the world? when is the president going to get interrogated??
Surely you agree with Joe Barton. When he said this, "I’m not speaking for anyone else, but I apologize. I do not want to live in a county where anytime a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, [it is] subject to some sort of political pressure that, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown.”
I assure you, Congressman Barton that you do speak for someone else. I to apologize for what some people have done to this country!
