19. As much as I'd cheer him on, I don't see how any of that will actually help.
The government was never equipped to handle a disaster like this. Many people are criticizing Obama for not doing enough, but the sad truth is likely that there is nothing more that can be done right now. The best that can come of this is that is wakes up enough of the American public to cause enough of an outcry against offshore drilling that it gets banned. If we can't deal with the fallout when something goes wrong, then we shouldn't do it.
