Obama's Poor Handling Of Oil Spill Issue

Obama has failed in handling the BP Oil Spill Issue pro-actively, it's such a shame! Doesn't he have a PR Team? What the hell is going on? Is He leading? My God! How will he react if a Terrorist Attack takes place with the magnitude of September 11?

(BBC) - Commentators react to President Obama's management of BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President George W Bush
Karl Rove argues in the Wall Street Journal that President Obama has been too slow to react:

"Since the Deepwater Horizon rig blew up on April 20, a lethargic Team Obama has delayed or blown off key decisions requested by state and local governments and left British Petroleum in charge of developing a plan to cap the massive leak.

Now the slow-moving oil spill threatens Mr. Obama's reputation, along with 40% of America's sensitive wetlands. Critics include some of his most ardent cheerleaders, who understand that 38 days without an administration solution is unacceptable."
