Obama Oval Office Adress

"Greater opportunities incur greater risk " which means that the days of cheap and effective oil is up. This speech this evening by the President of the United States was stirring, moving, and motivating that the time to embrace clean energy in now. BP is being held completely responsible for the compensatory damage costs to the surrounding areas that are being affected by the oil spill. (Though is seems as though this is more of a environmental catastrophe that is only going to get worse as the hurricane season draws nearer.) The entire development of the surge of oil in the Gulf is just astounding and those of us who are not part of the affected areas are dumbfounded at the toll that is being waged right off the coast of the Gulf. I understand the necessity of talking about the fisherman blessing but the President lost a lot of listeners during the ending. The devastation is incomprehensible and yet in order for us to overcome this disaster we must join together and act. By not acting, by not contributing in some way in the effort to assist the Gulf would be turning our shoulder and acting as though the negligence on the part of this international company never happened. The effects of their misconduct will withstand for years and affect the entire nation. Hurricane Katrina was bad.... 9/11 was a problem.....the BP oil spill is a tragedy.
