Ok, forty something days has gone by and I've stayed away from YouTube, MySpace, and Twitter about my personal thoughts on this issue. Because everytime I do rant on about something, it doesn't go my way and it turns to be no biggie.

Now, almost a month and a half has gone by, there is nothing really that has been done about it. 19 million gallons at the best of estimates to 43 million gallons of the worst estimates have been unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico.

All that oil has destroyed the livelihood of many thousands of fishermen, business owners, and recreational parks along Louisiana, Mississippi, and the far west side of Florida. Millions or even billions of dollars are going to be lost in the time it takes to recover and clean all that oil.

While all this is going on, the company, BP Energy, is shy and doesn't know what to do. Running around like a lost dog looking for its home, BP is losing time and money.

I personally believe it's going to take a LONG time to clean up all the oil, with some estimates running up to 50 years to clean ALL the oil. BP has alot on their hands, literally and figuratively speaking.

And as if losing 11 fathers, sons, brothers, friends wasn't enough... I don't like it.

As for Obama, he's another story. There are small groups of protesters saying that he should be fired. If anything, those morons should fire themselves. Obama didn't have anything to do with the blowup and destruction of a multi-million dollar chunk of floating metal. Nature decided to release a hiccup and a burp. Obama, being a president of an increasingly needy population, gave what the majority of American's what they wanted, offshore drilling near America.

But then those people who were trying to convince all of America that offshore drilling is good are just at their houses sitting down on a La-Z Boy nodding their heads. Don't get me wrong though, there are some (few really) that were begging Obama for offshore drilling and are out there trying to help. Kudos to them, there aren't enough.

In the end, I think BP is to blame for the size of the leak and the time it has taken. BP should pay, at least part of, the bill to clean. Obama should set forth sticter guides so that this doesn't happen again. And ALL offshore drilling company's should train and fund for steps to prevent something like this from happening again.

I'm off to wonder in my mind :) Good day all of you.
