Obama & the Oil Spill

Frank Rich has a great op-ed in the Times outlining where the president stands and what he should do going forward regarding the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  It is worth a read.

Note that Rich mentions another article, this one in Rolling Stone, that covers the Interior Department as well and its too-cozy, too-familiar relationship with the industries that it is supposed to be policing in the name of the American people.  This is was not only a Bush problem -- or simply a problem with presidents dating at least back to Reagan -- but a problem with the Obama White House as well.  Great article.
