Reply #19: My thoughts ... [View All]

I was talking to DH after the speech last night and I don't think any speech would have satisfied everyone.

First, the Gulf disaster is monumental and I think we all feel helpless watching it.

Unlike Katrina, where we could donate to help residents, we are all staring at our tv sets waiting for BP to fix the damn leak and watching the oil spoil the ocean, killing birds and mammals and destroying livlihoods of gulf residents. We felt like we could DO something. I know I did.

We sure aren't going to donate to help BP! Yes, volunteers are there trying to save wildlife but you know what I mean.

This isn't going to get fixed overnight and that's what we want to hear. My opinion.
