A Presidential Tantrum

Yesterday, the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, declared that he was angry- really angry, over the oil spill. Obama announced he was angry at the oil companies but his righteous ire is also directed at the Federal government. Well, does this mean heads will roll? Will Obama fire the Energy and Interior Secretaries? Will he dismiss the Coast Guard official leading at the scene? Obama is after all the head of those Federal agencies and in possession of the power to fire those who work under him who he finds have been derelict in their duties. Or was all that just rhetoric? Is Obama going to return the campaign contributions that he has received from oil companies? BP, who many see as the primary culprit in the Gulf spill, has reportedly given Obama his largest campaign donations over the past twenty years. If the President is so disturbed by the recent events, one would think the honorable thing to do would be give the oil companies, particularly BP, their money back which they could then use for spill cleanup. Or is Obama's outrage merely one more pose?
