The reality is, the Federal government is huge and has no idea what the left hand is doing in regards to the right-hand.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There appears, even now, to be very little coordination. Which means that no one is going to accept responsibility and finger-pointing is going to go into high gear.<\/p>\n<p>So far, BP has agreed to put up $20 billion. Are you kidding me? That's not going to clean up the marshes and restore people's livelihoods.  Yes, I know a great many people in the Gulf rely on the oil industry for their livelihood, but oil can be drilled in many other places whereas the Gulf has been basically destroyed for years and years and years to come. In fact, it may never be restored to its former vitality.<\/p>\n<p>I'm sure you can tell the frustration in this post and I know many of you have voiced your opinion on our Tuesday poll, but I would like to hear what you have to say about this national disaster, how the President is dealing with this crisis, and how that is going to affect the economy and our way of life.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<br \/>\nAdam<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately the President seemed to miss the point - capping BP's huge gusher off the Gulf.
