They have no idea what he should do. Perhaps you should rephrase this and ask "What would McCain/Palin have done instead?" Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran Drill Baby Drill!
I would think he would call in the best engineers available in the world to come up with ideas on how to really, really stop the leak. That would have been the first thing he should have done. Then he should have seen to it that the sand islands Jindal wanted were not held up for 6 weeks until it was too damn late.
He is more worried about raising the anger level at BP than he is in solving this horrendous problem. He's more worried who is going to pay for the clean up of thousands of dead sea animals soaked in oil than their loss of life. They are finding dead porpoises, a whale, everything is dying and people are more focused on the political ramifications.
Just do something besides pushing his cap and trade which will do nothing but cost us all more money, They don't have a viable alternative energy. Until they do, he is just going to cause millions more people to lose their jobs and and people will bake in the heat because they won't be able to afford to run their air conditioner. A half million people in Europe died because of a heat wave in 2005.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
