SNAFU* y'all!

Let me see if I understand the situation in the Gulf correctly.

The tea-baggers, carpetbaggers, and gas-baggers have been carping for the longest that we need less government and less Obama in our lives. Right?

So, is it not ironic that they are now clamoring for more of both because of the BP cluster-f___? It wasn't Obama who caused this disaster. Possibly we should be looking to Bush, Cheney and Halliburton for answers. Possibly they should be brought up on charges and punished to the fullest extent of the law. They were the ones who pushed for reduced regulations so that "drill, baby, drill" could be pursued with abandon.

Before this Gulf disaster the baggers wanted no part of our duly elected government. Now that the goop has hit the shore it is a government problem and they can't get enough of Obama and this administration.

As long as I am on a BP rant: How about those "concerned Americans" picketing BP stations around the country? Now that really makes a hell of a lot of sense...NOT! The only people getting hurt by those picketers are the station owners who had nothing to do with the leak. These people are just trying to earn a living in these times of a troubled economy. Picketing or boycotting these stations certainly won't hurt BP, it just hurts our neighbors. And, that is just what we need right now; another business and more jobs going mammaries-up.

Talk about a misplaced set of priorities. It is kind of like waving the American flag and displaying "Support Our Troops" bumper stickers without any other involvement in or sacrifice for the war effort. It is just more hot air.
