I believe you. While I think Obama is doing what he can about this (what he is allowed to do about this) - and I can't think of what more he could be doing short of kicking BP out of the country wholesale which of course still won't stop that oil from flowing - one has to acknowledge the gaping void between campaign rhetoric and everyday political reality in 2010 America. When the rubber meets the road, when a demagogue is forced by the office to act and speak moderately, he becomes that from which he sprung.
