Political ideology means nothing here and lets not kill this thread with non sence.
This is failure of LEADERSHIP that goes back 20 years for both parties. It was only a matter of time until this happened.
For too long, despite the overwhelming national interest of reducing our demand for oil, our leaders have tip toed the line of off shore drilling and middle east imports to keep gasoline cheep and voters placated.
We have stood by while the greatest international movement of wealth in our lifetime has taken place and countless fragile ecosystems put at risk.
When will a leader, inside or outside of government, lead American's to an honest understanding and acceptance THAT WE CAN NOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
Hard choices need to be made and Americans have always answered the bell when asked - but our leaders never ask.
We need a leader like John Muir to rise from this mess.

Agreed on that but when does one take responcibility??When there is obvious evedence of paying off goverment inspectors and the leadership does noting, yes they need to be blamed...Obass, get real, The guy works for the oposing team!!!!
When I come home stinking like fish, I know I`ve had a good day....
