@gerald re: "former President Obama"
The nation will never be so lucky . . . Expect a full eight years in office from President Obama. Truth is the oil catastrophe will have little effect on the Obama Administration. If President is a lame duck, it is because he and the DLCers consistently choose to just a tad less that the absolute minimum possible. This means six plus more years of utter morass.
Yes, I have Marlys but only occasionally and in passing. It appears in several local “free” newspapers . . . Which I only reach for while waiting for your lovely spousal unit (wife) on those all so rare occasions that I am the one left waiting.
If Joe Sestak is elected Senator in November, I would like to see Joe Sestak challenge Obama in the 2012 primary for the presidency. Obama is a definite loser and he is too naive to lead our country.
The oil catastrophe is dooming Obama. He is a lame duck president. I am presently calling him, former President Obama.
@Mysterious Floating Head: thanx for the tom tommorow reminder, I bookmarked it this time. I used to read it and a bunch of other great comic strips in the Austin Chronicle, an alternative weekly, but then they made the type too small. Now they need to issue a free magnifying glass with each copy. ever read "Marlys"? about a little girl in the Austin Chronicle or elsewhere? its a hoot! "makes me wanna holler!"

Re; Corporations create wealth
So the bottom line is that it's all about greed. It's all about me, me, me and the hell with everyone else.
This type of behavior needs to be shunned by society. We need to stop tolerating bad behavior.
re #24: that's what they say on the Simpsons, so its gospel with me. My bumper sticker says "I feel better since I lost hope." :)
It's true that corporations create wealth, just not wealth for society.
Perhaps if we had allowed the military/industrial complex to charge a third nation a trillion dollar fee to put Osama on trial...the wars could have been avoided.
@harry, well so... do nothing then. If it's not easy, its not worth doing I guess.

@Maxrot re #21: wish it were that easy. all cities don;t have sufficient public transportation, small towns and rural areas, none. esp. in the west. Our country for the past 80 years has been designed around the personal automobile. Buses arent that much better, 'cause they, too, are subject to traffic. Here in Texas, if you ride your bike to work, you will be sweating when you get there, and sweat is a no-no- in today's society.

To those out there calling for a boycott on BP, why not consider a real solution instead, start using public transportation and call for others to do so too.
Its far easier for an individual to change their lifestyle than it is for that individual to change a corporations' policies.

Re:

It seems to me that Obama is serving the corporations who put him in office quite well.
I have yet to hear anyone talk about the how the Mississippi out flow carries around to the East Coast. That this outflow is pointed amost directly that the oil rig that went down, and how this may likely be pushing the underwater oil plumes as well as the oil slick into the loop current and up the East Coast. Hell the oil rig is referred to as Mississippi Canyon 252 on NOAA. I can't believe that all the scientists that are reviewing this are missing this major flow and its effects. Heck, satellite photos clearly show that the fresh water of the Mississippi doesn't dissepate until well up the East Coast.
Has anyone here heard anyone discuss this in any media source?

Carl and Cristine are talking about nude beaches; In the US, call 'em Cellulite Cities and Speedo Spoilviews. Maybe in some other countries, humans still look like humans.
I wonder if "Carly" Fiorina will feature this in one of her up-coming political advertisements.
Taking the challenge from Thom from a while back, I have created a pledge for Tea Partiers to take: http://www.teapartypledge.info
Obama is too naive to lead America and her interests. He is in way over his head and he seems to be drowning in his naivete. Obama had a press conference and I did not listen to it. His rhetoric turns me off. I voted for a loser and not a leader.
