It is truly amazing how far we have come in terms of leadership in this country.  With this oil spill now going on 50+ days its interesting to compare how our two most recent presidents have handled crisis.  While Obama wanders aimlessly around the gulf looking for someone’s ass to kick in his own backyard George W. Bush was kicking the Taliban’s ass up one side of Afghanistan and down the other within 50 days of September 11, 2001.

Obama runs around looking for a BP executive to lynch and while there is certainly enough blame to go around, including officials within the Department of the Interior, that’s not fixing the problem.  Where has all this government regulation landed us?  Our tax dollars are funding departments like the Interior and we still get oil washing up on beaches?  This isn’t supposed to happen with all the government oversight, this isn’t supposed to happen while Obama is president.  He cares, remember?  These things are supposed to magically go away I thought.

Smelling blood in the water Mitt Romney goes around telling the media we need a leader not a politician.  We couldn’t agree more, but we also need a leader and not an ambulance chasing opportunist like Romney.
