What’s The Deal With The Oil Spill?

I almost feel sorry for Tony Hayward! The last few times I saw pictures of him, he looked like he was about ready to stroke out! Unfortunately, the world is engaging in a blame game instead of focusing on what’s truly important: Fixing the problem and cleaning up the mess! Or maybe this is a diversion tactic, so the media (and consequently the consumers) are more caught up in what leaders do in their spare time instead of what needs to be done…and isn’t!

Don’t get me wrong, I am glad that funds have been made available to compensate people for their loss of income, etc., but this is no long term solution…it’s like placing a band-aid over a severed limb…pretty much useless. The media is whipping the public into a frenzy and the general populous is swallowing it hook, line, and sinker (I think the fishing reference is apropos). Wake up people!!! The President is not to blame, and neither is Mr. Hayward per say. Just remember, both have to answer to their respective “Boards” and don’t make decisions in a bubble.

Instead of pointing fingers and making demands for compensation, let’s roll up our sleeves; put our collective minds together and find a solution! Stop the leak! Start cleaning up the waters, beaches & habitats! Let’s take charge and don’t wait for “Big Brother” to do it for us! Where is the spirit that made this country so great???
