Obama's big fumble

The big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a good indication how Barack Obama has "fumbled the ball" during a crisis. He is more concerned about his image rather than making decisions without the results of the consequences. He should have gone to countries and other big oil companies who have had the expertise with oil spills immediately to put a halt to the spill. It's been almost two months since the spill occurred with no definite answer of how to plug the leak. Concerning Obama's speech to the nation the other day, one columnist said: "Obama is trying harder to make an impression than to govern." Let's stop the leak!
