I saw Spike Lee on CNN today.
He rambled on about how the government
and the oil companies were in cahoots.

Then when the reporter asked him about
Obama’s reaction, he defended the President
saying that it is just his way.

Here’s your boarding pass for the clue train,
the President is part of the government,
so if the government is in bed with big oil,
then it would stand to reason that the head
of said government would be as well,
even if he is a black man.
You don’t get it both ways Spike.
If you say government is in on conspiracy
with big oil, it’s not just the white people in
government.

I have said it many times before,
I like Obama, and I approve of the
job he has done running the country.

We don’t need our President in person
in Louisiana, it doesn’t help to solve the problem.

Spike further continues discussing how
big oil is worshiping at the alter of the
almighty dollar, and then mentions his
movie about the Katrina disaster several
times and suggests that he will be making
a new film about this tragedy.
He is profiting of the suffering of others,
he is no better than the corner store that
charges ten dollars for a bottle of water
after a hurricane.

Slutty, what was that word again?

Hypocrite.

Yeah, that’s the one.

In The Katrina movie,
United States Army Corps of Engineers were blamed
for the poor design and construction of the Leeves,
and the government’s slow response blamed for the
amount of suffering.

Who can we blame?

Why is that always the first question asked?

What does that accomplish?

We know BP fucked up,
I do not see that fact being in dispute.

If only the rest of us were as quick to do our jobs
as the lawyers are to do theirs.

We can punish and blame later,
that should not be the focus now.

We need a solution to the problem.

If someone breaks something,
is it the best idea to also have them fix it?

What, are we trying to teach them a lesson?
More blame, that is all it is, we want them to
suffer.

Still, the problem remains unsolved.

I want my government to respond quickly
and by any means necessary. This should
be the top priority, over Afghanistan,
over Public Health Care, over everything.
I want my tax dollars spent on this problem.

I want NASA and JPL on this problem,
this is an “all hands on deck”.
I want some technology thrown at this,
and quickly.

If you want to blame somebody,
we should blame ourselves for allowing
this situation to even be possible.

My God,
what have we done?
