President's speech...

Well, Obama got our attention, and we all tuned in to hear him tell us what's happening regarding the Gulf catastrophe. He took valuable air-time to make what sounded to me more like campaign rhetoric than a Presidential update.
He lied when he said that ..."he authorized the building of barrier islands". The Governors of various states got tired of waiting for authorization and went ahead without federal approval.
He told us that he was expanding gov't. again with a "national committee" to look into what happened and how to prevent it again.
He told us that he put a 6 month moratorium on offshore drilling. There are over 400 oil platforms in the gulf (mostly foreign nations) that will continue drilling as the U.S. has no authority over them. This is like grounding all planes because one has crashed.
We all expected a plethora of details regarding what the gov't. was doing and details about this disaster...again, NOTHING.
This speech was really a "rally" for green energy. I thought that Al Gore had written it.
I saw no reason that he had to bring God into this speech.
In the end, he left us with more confusion over what he's asking of us and what is actually being done.
Here was a golden opportunity to show us what a great leader he was and he totally failed everyone. We need a President that's strong, instead of this incompetent, clueless, arrogant buffoon. Even more of his original "followers" are disappointed with him.
