Peter Fonda sounds like he might be a weirdo but I thought Dennis Miller (a US pundit) really called this entire BP/Obama thing bang on when he described the USA political mentality like this:
The BP spill really just proves the issues really don't mean as much as whether or not your 'team' is winning or has won. Had Bush Jr been sitting President during the spill.. SO HELP US ALL THAT EVIL GODDAMN EARTH KILLING NAZI! HOly **** on a Stick you can just see the placards of the Vampire Bush with oil dripping off his fangs. PROOF Bush and Cheney are EVIL GAIYA MURDERING Darth Vader effing.... But because (in this case) their guy is sitting in the winning spot it isn't something involving the President. Never mind that it was the Presidents party hard at work for decades that pushed oil rigs far off shore (barely even mentioned) or anything to do with the President. Really, Obama's name (in any sense of blame or lack) never even came up much at all in any of that. But as Miller calls it - really this has more to do with 'turf' than anything else. That their guy has the ground. So the issue is important (or not) by that standard. Anyways, I'm surprised he can get much of a documentary out of the whole thing. It was tragic in lives lost but didn't affect the coast too much. |
