With a majority in both houses, they had a window of opportunity to get things done, but this issue was seemingly not a priority. I also wish Obama had done more but the Chief Executive can carry out only what Congress authorizes. Maybe it will be for the best to have a few of the incumbents lose their seats so the rest recognize that they need to work for our support. Very disappointed with how Congress failed on this one.It's a shame that so many people merely use this as an opportunity to heckle Sarah Palin (why does she even matter to so many people here?!?) rather than actually addressing the worst environmental catastrophe in our country's history.

Those who dare use their names to tell and show the truth are doomed to poverty.
Fortunately, the word "anonymous" can be used to let the facts and reality slowly sneak into the public domain.
That's why the best we can expect is "The captains did not want to be named for fear of losing their clean-up jobs with BP". But sometimes a reporter with a camera and an editor willing to published the photos get the ball rolling. But not often enough.
