Fascinating interview, Barack Obama calm, cool, collected, and in control as always, but also at times sounding a bit un”Vulcan”-like. On second thought. Mr. Spock seriously “kicked ass” when he needed to, and it didn’t seem to hurt him any! 🙂 So, I say, “Go Obama, kick Tony Hayward’s, BP’s, and Big Oil’s sorry butts!” Oh, and while you’re at it, please turn this crisis into an opportunity – for comprehensive, clean energy and climate legislation that breaks our foreign oil addiction and tells corporate polluters like BP where to shove their dirty money.
P.S. Oh yeah, and please remind people, President Obama, that we’re in the mess we’re in thanks overwhelmingly to the big oil companies and the Republican politicians (Bush, Cheney, DeLay, Boehner, Cantor, etc.) who love them (and take huge wads o’cash from the same).
