I talked to Barrack Obama about BP Oil Spill
Did you know that if you have a complaint you can write the white house and email! I never really thought about it, until I saw a CNN news report with Sanjay Gupta and the workers down in the Gulf. They said that they can’t even clean up, because all the equipment they need is being held up in bureaucratic tape! You can see the massive frustration that has turned to obvious sarcasm because they are in the disbelief at the amount of time it is taking to get the government to “wake the f’ Up!” - I got so frustrated by this news that I decided to voice my opinion to Mr. President. So I went to the website - www.whitehouse.gov and wrote the president my opinion. I asked why does every other country get preferential treatment before us? When are we going to matter? When are you going to dump OUR MONEY back into OUR COUNTRY? Why is he not ‘affecting change’ like he said? Why is this BP Spill taking so long? This should be our Number ONE Priority! I know its hard to manage it all, but please if you want to make change start by getting in there and making it a priority. The media is making a mockery out of this administration and if I have to listen to my Mom say one more time, how she can’t wait for him to be out of office, I’m going to jump into that oil spill myself! CNN is on top of it, thank god for that… but what’s it going to take? They said bug your congressman. Is that what it comes down to? Bug your congressman? What the f are the congressman doing? Oh, that’s right the same things they always do. Back to my email, so I write this email and hit send. Ouch. For a moment, I was thinking I just exposed myself to the gov. they might be able to call me a terrorist and take me in and seriously I questioned what I had done. My email included “why are you killing this country? Save your people instead of the rest of the world” I should have said instead of Israel! Playing it safe, doh! Then I wrote it off thinking, I’ll never be heard from again. But instead I got this and now I’m going to throw up in my mouth!
Dear Friend: Thank you for writing to me about the BP oil spill.
I will stand with the people of the Gulf Coast until they are
made whole, and I appreciate your perspective as we
continue to do everything we can to address this crisis.
The Gulf is one of the richest and most beautiful
ecosystems on the planet. For centuries, its residents have
enjoyed and made a living off the fish that swim in its
waters and the wildlife that inhabit its shores. The Gulf is
also the heartbeat of the region’s economic life, and this oil
spill has upended whole communities.
My Administration will continue to leverage every
resource at our disposal to protect coastlines, to clean up
the oil, to hold BP and other companies accountable for
damages, to begin to restore the bounty and beauty of this
region, and to aid the hardworking people of the Gulf as
they rebuild their businesses and communities. For
information about response efforts, available assistance, or
how to help, please visit:
www.WhiteHouse.gov/deepwater-bp-oil-spill. Individuals
affected by the BP oil spill can also find resources by
calling the United States Coast Guard at 1-800-280-7118,
and small businesses can find support by calling 1-800-
659-2955.
Thank you again for contacting me. I encourage
you to visit WhiteHouse.gov to learn more about my
Administration or to contact me in the future.
Sincerely, Barack Obama

Does he even know what is going on? All he’s doing is reading a piece written for him! Why doesn’t he tell us what he’s doing to make it better? Poor President. He is so disconnected. Oh and by the way, this was out on May 28th. So then I clicked on their blog and found this information.
The Ongoing Administration-Wide Response to the Deepwater BP Oil Spill: July 1 - July 7, 2010
Administration Launches New, Streamlined Oil Spill Response Website
A new federal web portal was launched today—RestoreTheGulf.gov—dedicated to providing the American people with clear and accessible information and resources related to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and recovery.
RestoreTheGulf.gov is designed to serve as a one-stop repository for news, data and operational updates related to administration-wide efforts to stop the BP oil leak and mitigate its impact on the environment, the economy and public health—unifying web resources across the administration and increasing public access to the latest information.
The site offers easy-to-navigate information about the claims and appeals process—as well as other types of assistance available from federal, state, local and non-government sources—for individuals, businesses and communities who have been affected by the spill. It will also contain information about plans for the long-term economic and environmental restoration in the Gulf Coast region. Visit RestoreTheGulf.gov.
Now here we go! Submit your concerns here… At least there’s a place to make your opinion count! Go out there and voice it!
In the meantime, please make some time to say this prayer everyday!
“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all living creatures
in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton,
corals, algae … to ALL living creatures … I am sorry.
Please forgive me. Thank you.
I Love You.”
Please join me in often repeating this Healing Prayer by Dr. Emoto’s.
Feel free to send it around the planet. Lets take charge … and do our own clean up.
