Where is the anger at the top?

It is about time that we see some shoe banging on the podium anger from Pres. Obama. I know it is not a normal thing for him to do but sometimes a person has to break away from the ordinary just to keep people on their toes. If Pres. Obama was an actor he would be typecast as the same calm character all the time. If it is one thing that most actors complain about - is it that of being typecast. Getting the same parts all the time could be quite lucrative; if that is all you want; but if you want to expand you have to break out of the mold you created.

If Pres. Obama wants to be known as the most powerful man in the world then at time he has to put the hammer down and act like it. Americans want to have a "Make my day" type of line to come out of their leader. Not that we want to be a world wide bully; but just because we are still a superpower we shouldn't be a pushover because we don't want to show our muscles.

The mess with BP is such a time that our muscles should be flexed and Pres. Obama is the one who should be doing that. So far no penalties have been imposed on what BP is doing to our country and countrymen and women. Sure there are projections that they will lose money in the long run; but if we don't punish them they will come back and become richer then ever. Where is the call for a countrywide boycott of BP from some of our leaders? Why not have them expelled from doing business in the USA? Why don't our leaders demand that all BP affiliates be able to change their affiliation without recourse?

All of this sounds harsh? Well tell that to the people of the Gulf Cost as their livelihoods and quality of life is hampered. I don't want my leaders to give BP the benefit of the doubt. I don't want my leaders to say after all this time that BP is doing its best. I don't want sympathy for a huge conglomerate for ruining our Gulf Coast. What do I want? Like everyone else - I want them to take care of it..... given an ultimatum.... fix it or we fix it and get out of town....

We have serious problems in this country and need serious people to handle them. Get tough Pres. Obama..... This is your Katrina right now and your proving to be lacking it getting the problem solved just as your predecessor did. Don't worry that if you bang your fist on the table or raise your voice or act like not like a bully but as a leader protecting us from a bully; your followers will still follow you and respect you even more. We voted for you to do the right thing..... BP did this to us..... It is your job Mr. President to stop them..... Yesterday.
