Knee-Jerk Reaction

Can you say OVER-REACTION?

We are only now coming to grips with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and Obama decides to send in the clowns from the Interior Department to halt any further offshore oil drilling and exploration.

My preference is to send in the FBI, CIA or some other appropriate investigative group to determine if this explosion was truly an accident or an act of sabotage. This event was just too perfectly timed for Obama's agenda. I'm not suggesting that he had anything to do with it, but he sure as hell has pounced on it in the political arena.

Call me a cynic, but I find it very hard to understand why, after what appears to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, the President of the United States decides to curtail further oil drilling and exploration until HE deems it safe.

Go ahead, bring in the clowns.

UPDATE: Mark Levin spoke with an engineer who was on the drilling platform at the time of the accident. This conversation should dispel any notion of sabotage.
