    Does anyone believe we will ever have a president again who is capable of addressing most issues and troubles in an effective, timely manner? It seems, to me at least, as if there is just too much going on in the world anymore for a single poli-godhead to be enough. I didn't word that correctly, or even explain it the way I wanted, but hopefully you genius-types get what I am saying...

    • IT STAYS!utopian
    • that is why we have administrations ffsBonSeff
    • Administrations seem to be pretty fail too right now, pal.

    • I think it's pretty clear that our current president has addressed most issues quite well.luckyorphan
    • That being said, his administration bungled their handling of the oil spill.luckyorphan

    So You Still Want to Choose Your Senator?
    By David Firestone
    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/0…

    "Few members of the Tea Party have endorsed Rand Paul’s misgivings about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but a surprising number are calling for the repeal of an older piece of transformative legislation: the 17th Amendment. If you don’t have the Constitution on your smartphone, that’s the one adopted in 1913 that provides for direct popular election of United States senators."

    "Allowing Americans to choose their own senators seems so obvious that it is hard to remember that the nation’s founders didn’t really trust voters with the job. The people were given the right to elect House members. But senators were supposed to be a check on popular rowdiness and factionalism. They were appointed by state legislatures, filled with men of property and stature."

    You really have to try to wrap your head around the difference between a natural disaster and an industrial disaster. The hurricane can't be blamed on anyone, the oil spill can be blamed on BP. After the hurricane, thousands of people were dead, injured or displaced/homeless. After an oil spill the shit slowly affects the economy and ecology of the area.

    In other words, your comparison is fucking idiotic.

    • did you forget about the manmade levies that busted. uh oh

    • it is no longer a industrial disaster you fucking twit! have you seen what the fuck is going on down there...we are way beyond a pipe breaking doosh fuck!! remove head from ass you stupid shit!!!

    You know how conservatives/ libertarians always claim that government is the problem, and that we should just leave businesses alone, because they are ALWAYS better at solving problems? God bless businesses, fuck the government, bla bla bla

    So here we have an operation that was entirely funded and run by private industry. The government hasn't been heavy handed - they've let BP try to fix it. You guys should be fucking thrilled. Because it's clear they are doing a heck of a job.

    • depends are saying this one mistake since valdez? if so id say its pretty good

    He's got a solid point... ... not to mention that 'natural disaster' was turned into a major racist issue too... ... that fucking hurricane was politicized to no end... ... ... we STILL gotta here about that shit - which wasn't really anyone's fault but God's... ... ohhhhhh... and the levee engineers... ... evil white engineers probably :)

    Yeah, I mean I think people were unfair to "Dubya" to a certain extent on that, but let's face it, the guy could barely string a sentence together, so it was fairly easy to pile on.

    The thing about Katrina though is that it really was the government's fault in a lot of ways - the levies were the gov's responsibility, and several times it had been pointed out that they were too weak but no one did anything.

    • Valid points!
      I think at this point, BP can't be trusted and the feds need to step in and take over!

    • i can't argue w/that whole 'barely string a sentence together'... ... the dude did come off like a moron for surePonyBoy
    • as for the levee's being the gov's responsibility - absolutely accurate - but wouldn't that fall on local gov?PonyBoy

    Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer was arrested Wednesday and charged with six felony counts stemming from a grand jury investigation into his activities while serving as state party leader.

    Greer, 47, faces one count of organized fraud, four counts of grand theft and one count of money laundering, Statewide Prosecutor Bill Shepherd announced at a late morning press conference. He faces up to 90 years in jail if convicted on all counts.

    Greer is a political ally of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and contemplated running for chairman of the Republican National Committee in 2009.

    Prosecutors charge that Greer steered $199,254 in state party money to a company, Victory Strategies, LLC, that he set up with former state Republican Party Executive Director Delmar Johnson. According to prosecutors, "Greer was paid $125,161" of the fees Victory Strategies collected from the state party. Prosecutors also said that Victory was given "a large amount for services that were never performed" by the company.

    "The indictment and the affidavit allege that Mr. Greer developed a scheme to take money from the Republican Party of Florida through a shell company that he created called Victory Strategies," Shepherd said at the news conference. "He created that company to actively hide his own involvement."

    According to Florida law enforcement officials, Victory Strategies received 10 percent of all major donations to the RPOF, as well as over $60,000 from GOP state party coffers at Greer's direction. And $40,000 more came from a 527 account designed to help Greer win re-election as state party chairman.

    Prosecutors allege that a substantial amount of those funds then flowed directly to Greer.

    NOT SPIKE LEE!?!?!?!?


    "One time, go off!" director Spike Lee urged on CNN's "AC 360°." "If there's any one time to go off, this is it, because this is a disaster."
    Lee's sentiment echoes the frustration of people who want to see Obama get loud, take charge and inspire them like he did during his presidential run.

    Recalling then-candidate Obama's ability to rouse crowds into chants of "Yes, we can," presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said, "There was a feeling he was going to be one of these presidents that moved us with words the way John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan did in recent decades."
    Instead, Obama has presented himself as the unflappable president, with the engineer-like approach of Jimmy Carter and the legislative astuteness of Lyndon Johnson, Brinkley said.
    "But in a time of great crisis, people aren't looking for Johnson or Carter. They are looking for powerful rhetorical leadership -- words that move the country in a positive direction," he said.
