President Obama firmly believes Government is the answer to the issues that plague our country. Government intervention is warranted in Wall Street, the Health Insurance industry, Big Banks, General Motors, Chrysler, the amount of salt you eat, the settings on your thermostat, the size of the car you drive, eliminating secret ballots in Union elections, how you heat your house, the coal industry, what nutrition information needs to be printed on restaurant menus, who will get what health care treatment, and even if Israel should build apartments.

Somehow, an massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is not a concern of the Government?

They are willing to give me unwanted advise and regulations about my salt intake, but helping contain the BP oil spill is not in the Government purview? What will it take to designate the coastlines of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida as "too big to fail?"
