Having just watched President Obama deliver a speech from the Oval Office, I have to say I am so uninspired. The mistakes that I heard were obvious. Instead of concentrating on the clean up effort and capping the oil leak, he used the opportunity to push a political agenda this country just can't afford. We all know that we have become less dependent on foreign oil, but as Gov Palin said, "you can't just walk away from it". We have to make sacrifices, this is true, but I would prefer our sacrifice come in the form of drilling in Anwar or the West where it has been closed. We can control a gusher on land, we cannot 5000 feet under the sea, that much is obvious. There are many ways we can become self reliant.
I have to question this President's sincerity. it felt to me like a lot of forced emotion, a lot of practiced lines and quite frankly it all seemed a bit disingenuous. I feel a deep agenda here, something beyond the words. I guess I just don't trust him, I think there is a lot we don't know about him. Obama doesn't appear like he really wants to fix this. It seems like he is using this crisis to pass his Cap & Trade and put us into further servitude and bondage.
Somethings not right here, I would think a President facing this kind of catastrophe would have reacted differently - even this speech came many weeks late. We need to watch this situation in Washington closely. Just my opinion.
