President Obama’s speech last night indicated that he is way out of his depth in dealing with the Deepwater disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Even his biggest cheerleaders, to their horror, are realizing this.
Here is my humble and sincere suggestion for helping him resolve the crisis: appoint former President George W. Bush as temporary oil-spill czar. Give him carte-blanche executive branch powers for plugging the leak and beginning the clean-up.
After two or three weeks the matter would be settled and President Bush could return to his well-earned privacy and rest in Texas. President Obama, of course, could go back to golfing, winning Nobel prizes, and partying with Hollywood celebrities and former Beatles.
He might take you up on your suggestion. then It would be Bush’s fault
