Reply #128: Actually, you probably have because they are ALL OVER DU.

As for the performance of the WH, it has been anything BUT "prissy", although I am afraid you are right, or at least close to being right, that they have been pretty close to "useless". But the ineffectiveness is not because of the lack of effort by the WH but because of the sheer enormity of the problem.

As many DUer's have posted before, it should NOT have been allowed to happen in the first place.

The best response both the WH and Congress was the beginning of multiple investigations into "what went wrong" and some action has already been taken - such as the restruction as the MMS. But that still doesn't address the current problem which is still the major priority.

And, yes, the government has taken major steps both to plug the leak and to clean-up the mess. There are plenty of links on DU, if you care to read them and learn the truth.

But, there are plenty of people who want to repeat Republican talking points and point fingers at Obama, rather than actually learn the truth.
