From AP: President Barack Obama is too smart to say it, but he wants his presidency back. He framed his address and BP's creation of a $20 billion compensation fund as a turning point when the public regained confidence in Obama's response to the Gulf disaster whose negative effects are spreading along with the crude oil.
The crisis has cost Obama quite a bit, on focus. He'd rather devote his time to push jobs legislation, his health care plan, develop an energy package, tend to two wars and deal with other priorities.
For all the hype attached to the speech, Obama did himself a lot better when he announced the $20 billion BP-financed fund to cover the mounting costs to those whose lifes has upended. I have heard $20M and $20B, which is it. It doesn't matter, you and I both know it is just $20.00.
The $20 recovery fund shows that Obama can do some rock solid problem-solving.
I wonder who was behind all this, I wonder who is the acting pupet master? For Obama to take action that could help citizens. We need to elect that person President.
