The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman
No, I haven’t lost my mind — that’s not what I believe. But you know that’s what the talk-show hosts will be saying soon, if they haven’t already started. The only question is what the story will be.
Will it be claims that liberals and/or scientific conspirators sabotaged the rig, to undermine good Americans who want to drillheredrillnow? (Michael Crichton already wrote that novel).
Will it be that oil workers, demoralized by the march of socialism, fell into despair and let the accident happen?
Will it be claims that since this didn’t happen under Bush, it obviously shows that Obamanomics is responsible?
I don’t know. But you know something along these lines is coming.
How is the BP oil spill Obama’s fault?
don’t get it. Obama didn’t start the spill, Obama can’t magically fix something that is at a depth NOBODY has the technology to efficiently operate in, and Obama has no control over how many barrels of oil spill out every day.
However, he has implemented all of the resources we have. Maybe it was a little late, but honestly NOBODY understood the gravity of the situation until later anyway because it’s at a depth we can’t operate freely in. So, seriously, how is it that people can still place MOST of the blame on him?
