Hey, there. You’re behind the curve. Look at this from POTUS to little ol’me”

John –

The BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast is the worst environmental disaster of its kind in our nation’s history. I am returning to the region today to review our efforts and meet with families and business owners affected by the catastrophe.

We are working to hold BP accountable for the damage to the lands and the livelihoods of the Gulf Coast, and we are taking strong precautions to make certain a spill like this never happens again.

But our work will not end with this crisis. That’s one of the reasons why last week I invited lawmakers from both parties to join me at the White House to discuss what it will take to move forward on legislation to promote a new economy powered by green jobs, combat climate change, and end our dependence on foreign oil.

Today, we consume more than 20 percent of the world’s oil, but have less than two percent of the world’s oil reserves. Beyond the risks inherent in drilling four miles beneath the surface of the Earth, our dependence on oil means that we will continue to send billions of dollars of our hard-earned wealth to other countries every month — including many in dangerous and unstable regions.

In other words, our continued dependence on fossil fuels will jeopardize our national security. It will smother our planet. And it will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk. We cannot delay any longer, and that is why I am asking for your help.

Please stand with me today in backing clean energy. Adding your name will help Organizing for America create a powerful, public display of support for making this change happen.

The time has come, once and for all, for this nation to fully embrace a new future. That means continuing our unprecedented effort to make everything — from our homes and businesses to our cars and trucks — more energy-efficient. It means rolling back billions of dollars of tax breaks to oil companies so we can prioritize investments in clean energy research and development.

Many businesses support this agenda because shifting to clean energy creates opportunities for entrepreneurship. This is how we will reinvent our economy — and create new companies and new jobs all across the country.

There will be transition costs and a time of adjustment. But if we refuse to heed the warnings from the disaster in the Gulf — we will have missed our best chance to seize the clean-energy future we know America needs to thrive in the years and decades to come.

The House of Representatives has already passed a comprehensive energy and climate bill, and there is currently a plan in the Senate — a plan that was developed with ideas from Democrats and Republicans — that would achieve the same goal. But this is an issue that Washington has long ignored in favor of protecting the status quo.

So I’m asking for your help today to show that the American people are ready for a clean-energy future.

Please add your name to mine:

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

What a load of rubbish! Obama dare not mention that BP is one of his “green buddies” even changing their name from “British Petroleum” to “Beyond Petroleum” to hype their stupid and ghastly use of ethanol (as REQUIRED by the Dumbocrats in Congress, like Waxman, Frank, et al)and wind farms. Neither of which are valid alternatives to the HUNDREDS of years of domestic fossil fuel we have available!

You can rely on a lawyer to spin the die!
While this Administration fine tunes its agenda and Energy Policy under the pretext of Cleaner Energy and New industries, the tide rolls in with that sludge we so greatly fear.
I take my hat off for a media that was so quick to chastise the Bush Administration for its inept management of the Katrina disaster, but where is that accountability in this Obama Administration. Remember, only weeks before this very MAN was opening up more offshore drilling. Now about turn and more rhetoric.
One thing I can say about Obama. He is full of IT.
When does imcompetence translate to treachery?
Hopefully, it is not too late for us all!!!

The spill itself is not Obama’s fault. Anymore than Katrina was Bush’s fault.

However, as the spill continues and things don’t get done, then more blame will be coming his way. When your in charge, everything, is your fault.
