So What Are You Doing Mr. President?

Earlier, I asked Ray Mabus, the secretary of the Navy, who’s also a former governor of Mississippi and a son of the Gulf Coast, to develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restoration Plan as soon as possible  . . .  (Barack Obama, from his speech to the nation on the oil spill)

Mr President . . . we don’t need another commission.  We don’t need another panel of well fed, well manicured, sparsely experienced innocuous wonks contemplating how to recover from the doom that  the severity of their impotence nearly always guarantees.  Mr President we need a leader who can stop an ocean of oil from obliterating the Gulf Coast.  So are you up to that?  Or are you just going to sit on your hands as you -worse yet- sit on ours?  Or are you going to drag your feet until nothing that could have been done can be done and the potential for you tragedy gouging has swelled as the existence of so many has waned?  Or are you just going to sit back and muse on how the utter destruction of a region -that overwhelmingly went for the other guy last election- will grant you cause enough to conscript even more liberty and property from American’s?
