Presuming this description is accurate wasting time kicking butt is stupid.<br /><br />First, you might kick the butt that manages to solve the problem. I own an observer's tee-shirt to such a situation that had a wise manager.<br /><br />Second, you waste time and effort that could better be spent solving the problem.<br /><br />Third, the butt that needs kicking most probably is not going away in the time it takes to find a solution. You can always get your visceral kick-butt thrills at a later date. You cannot cope as well at that later date if you waste opportunities and the disaster becomes larger.<br /><br />{o.o} JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-35017623074916664712010-06-14T17:09:31.958-04:002010-06-14T17:09:31.958-04:00The ass kicking belongs to the regulators, and Oba...The ass kicking belongs to the regulators, and Obama, why do you think Obama's newly minted head of MMS was fired early on ....<br /><br />Per the WSJ -- The wisdom of the MMS allowing BP to use a single casing well design is now realized in a continuous gusher.<br /><br />I suppose that citing the wisdom of the MMS allowing BP to continue with the well capping, when the prudent course was to sink another casing, six weeks before, when they all knew the well casing was compromised, the drill bit got stuck ... is now old news.

It’s all his fault, as is everything else that goes wrong. How do I know this to be true? The media tells me so. Even the <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/111965?RS_show_page=0" rel="nofollow">scathing Rolling Stone article</a> on Obama’s handling of this disaster lets us know at the very beginning:<br /><br /><i>“The Spill, The Scandal and the President:<br />The inside story of how Obama failed to <b>crack down on the corruption of the Bush years</b> – and let the world’s most dangerous oil company get away with murder.”</i><br /><br />Got that? Obama’s failure is in not fixing Bush’s corruption. It was Bush’s corruption which allowed the Obama administration to <a href="http://www.allgov.com/top_stories/viewnews/Obama_Administration_Still_Granting_BP_Environmental_Study_Waivers_100510" rel="nofollow">issue waiver after exemption</a> for oil companies.
