Mr Obama, You are the President. ACT LIKE ONE. You are the COMMANDER IN CHEIF. If you have no expertise in this problem, call an international conference WHILE TANKERS ARE RUSHING HERE. Seek help and advice from all sectors. WHY AREN"T tankers out there syphoning as much oil as possible. Hay seems to be an oil absorber. Why aren't bails being blown all over the Gulf while the oil is being syphoned into the tankers. There are mold type organizms which eat oil: See an osprey florida biotech company which was featured in the Sarasota Herald tribune. They have received NOT ONE call. I know a man in South west Florida who has alot of knowledge about what to do. I respect his judgment. He sent out lots of e-mails starting April 22, 2010 about how to cap it and how to mitigate the existing oil. He has a lot of private sector experience. HIS E_MAILS ARE IGNORED. THAT IS WHY THE PUBLIC IS UP IN ARMS. WRINGING YOUR HANDS DOES NOTHING. YOU ARE DOING NOTHING WHILE ROME BURNS. GET BOATS WITH HAY OUT THERE!! TONS OF IT!GET TANKERS! PUT PIPES DOWN TO NEAR THE GUSHER TO SYPHON AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AT THE SOURCE TOO. One of my friend's suggestions is use thermite and I think he said iron oxide. He said it would permanently seal the well by creating steel! Verify this with other scientists. Perhaps they don't want to seal it? TOO MUCH MONEY INVOLVED. This will KILL THE OCEANS AND US. DO IT DO IT NOW!!!!!!

Another example of why Mr Obama will be a one term President. It will take a decade to repeal the mess this guy and his cronies ,Pelosi and Reed rammed down the throats of the American people...You dummies wanted change ..lol YOU GOT IT ...like it much? Goverenment by trail and error never works. This is what happens when you get a guy with roughly 150 days of executive experience runing the most powerful contry in the world.....

He is so full of BS. The oil spill is an example of every project this administration is involved with....a mess, costing money, no proper solution and always the fault of someone else.

The whole thing was staged,obama had to stop all offshore drilling to be able to pass his cap and tax and green energy bill-raising taxes to stagering highs and tripleing the cost of electricty...another straw in the camels back needed to collapse the economy

This guy is in way over his head.

Oil on or near the surface of water still has value as oil, it has to be cheaper to recover from water than from the bowels of the earth. Why aren't they treating it like a valuable recoverable commodity, pumping it into tankers, and sending it to be refined? They're an oil company -- they're acting like the stuff is some alien by product.

I am furious with Obama for not stepping up and doing HIS job! HE'S the president! If Katrina was Bush's responsibility, then its only fair that this be Obama's task. Problem is Obama doesn't know what he's doing in the white house.
