There's little he can do.  Unless people actually want him to put a snorkle on and swim down there and plug it himself. I realise the government feel as if they need to do something but I feel he's getting an unnecessary backlash here. Because that is what Americans do.  We blame the President for everything because we don't have a clue how our government works. Bush got blamed for plenty of things beyond his immediate control.  The same will happen to Obama. I would add because this is one of those things when even my libertarian friends  will agree the government should step in and fix the damn problem before it becomes the worst ever  which is already the worst ever. And yesterday he was lost and confused in that press conference, which is not that encouraging a sign.

As President, you can't know everything about everything.

Oh.  Sad news indeed.

In pace, requiescat, Gary.

SCRATCH MY ITCHY TEETH!

A WOO AH AH A WOO AH AH

Al Gore and Tipper Gore have announced that they are separating after 40 years of marriage.  Refreshingly for a politician, they say that there were no affairs, that the separation was mutally amicable, and that their reason was that all of their years on the road have led them to grow apart.

It really does seem fishy that is for sure, but you know, when the idea came up for "the rest of your life" people didn't expect that would last more than 20 or 30 years.

That was one of my Mom's fave shows, she'll be bummed.

RIP Arne Nordheim.

Fatties are ruining everything. :(

^ Ahem, the left criticized the last Bush administration for good reasons.  They exploited 911 for partisan political reasons amongst other things.  The right see pretty much no enemies to the right.  The O man is getting it from both left and has not being as liberal as accused of.

Not particularly New of the day, file this under WTF?:

NAKED PEOPLE, PART 1: An officer dealt with a call about a suspicious truck parked in the driveway of a vacant property on Lookout Avenue. When the officer arrived, he noticed a man and woman “were completely naked, passed out in the truck, and they had three empty bags of cocaine in the vehicle with them,” he wrote. The man, 40, and the woman, 43, went to jail on a public indecency charge. The truck, a 1994 white Mazda B23, was impounded.

Guess it was a good think they had snorted all the blow.
