What do they want?

Yesterday some students of mine sent a picture text message to me during school, of picketers in front of a BP gas station. I was happy to see it because it shows that their level of consciousness regarding this crisis has been raised as it has been throughout the country. There is no doubt, that British Petroleum caused this, is responsible for it and all of the forces at our disposal should be employed to hold them accountable for the cleanup and for financial compensation to those they have harmed. The President, however, who may have gotten off to a slow start in communicating with us, is garnering all the available resources within Federal control, has visited the region multiple times to include another visit next week. He has absorbed knowledge, understands the science and technology and for my money, has acted forcefully and appropriately. Still, he is criticized. What else is new? He has been criticized for not calling BP's CEO, for the kinds of trousers he wore on the beach, for being too aggressive in stopping the drilling and for just being Obama. What happended to the days when we rallied as a nation around our leader, made constructive non political statements of support and acted like adults? Those days are gone. What do they want? They want Obama to fail. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
